I object to a change of use of the Ramada hotel as:
(a) it will no longer provide a guarantee of quality riverside tourist accomodation being available.
(b) it contradicts the original consent given and sets a precedent for others to apply for DA's under one condition and then convert the condition at a leter date

The Ramada has been the highlight of this region since it was built and is my favourite place to go, I have been to all 3 restaurants and they are fabulous. When friends visit it is the first place I take them to enjoy the beautiful view of our river and fine dining. It would be a shame if the selfish minority win over the rights of the community

The Ramada provides significant social and economic benefits to Ballina as it is an integral part of the towns tourist industry. It directly and indirectly provides livelihoods for many people who would be disadvantage if the useage was changed from tourism to permanent residency.

I am concerned about the proposed changes to the ramada hotel ,as it appears to me to be a grab by a few well healed people to secure prime residential property right on the riverfront totally contravening the conditions on which the da was approved.

Ballina critically needs good tourism, visitor and conference facilities. The Ramada provides jobs and flow on spend in Ballina. A 4 star brand helps keep us on the map and provides continuous spend. Removing this hotel would be an exceptionally strong signal by council that it is not concerned with economic development or jobs in the area.
"export jobs" are critical to the future of Ballina (not just construction and local services) . Regions need to have at least 33% export jobs to survive.

We have passed through Ballina on a number of occasions and have enjoyed wonderful food and service with a beautiful river frontage. Lets face it, the public is getting squeezed at every turn so that a privileged few can have yet another thing to get bored with. Fair? I don't think so.

When hotels do this sort of thing you have to ask if it was always their intention to do so. I am curious to know if there is a problem with low occupancy rates. By the way the restaurant menu really is average maybe sort that out as a starting point.

I strongly oppose any proposal that, if accepted by Ballina Council, operates to change the Ramada from a tourist hotel to a residential block on the grounds that it is in the interests of the community as a whole to encourage toursim in that area of Ballina.

Planning an environment which makes the most of our natural resources and allows their access to the greater community can only benefit all. Providing not only a recreational area but an opportunity for people to be educated about our natural land will bring employment and enjoyment to the area instead of stagnation!

The orignal Approval for the Ramada in Martin Street was made with understanding that it had potential to grow tourism in Ballina.
The other Ramada opposite Fawcett Park would be the better choice for residential living.

Tourism is what assists in keeping this area financially viable.Having accomodation of this calibre is mandatory to ensure that we are seen as a holiday destination to both the higher and middle ends of the population. The Ramada has set such a high standard for Ballina that has impacted on infrustructure such as improvements to the local parks, airport,shopping precint and roads. Please don't stop companies who are assisting with positive progress for the broader community

To begin with, my business and many other businesses in this area rely on tourists. If we have nowhere inviting for tourists to stay, they will take their business elsewhere, and Ballina will have even more empty shopfronts, which is a problem already and is an ugly look for a town. Ballina has so much potential with its river front, it too could be as popular a destination as many towns north of here, lets create MORE river front venues, tourist accomodation and recreational areas in Ballina.
