Everyday amenities include the council-managed Ball Bay Camping Ground Park with public toilets and barbecues and a fortnightly stop from the mobile library, and the Ball Bay beach plan progressed into on-ground coastal works including fencing, a gated pedestrian access to the creek and planting to formalise foredune rehabilitation.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Ball Bay?
