FIREWORKS

The City of Ballarat’s Fireworks Spectacular is on Sunday 14 January 2024. The 15-minute fireworks display will launch from the shores of Lake Wendouree at 9:30pm (subject to weather).

Public access to the end of the rowing course will be restricted from 9am on Friday 12 January until 11:59pm on Sunday 14 January to enable the safe launch of the fireworks.

Lake Wendouree will be closed for all waterway activities from 10am until 11:59pm on Sunday 14 January 2024.

There will be no parking restrictions around Lake Wendouree, however, please take care with the anticipated increased volume of traffic in the precinct.

MARKET STREET ROADWORKS

The City of Ballarat, with Regional Development Victoria, is redeveloping Market Street, between Midland Highway/Doveton Street North and Armstrong Street North.

To allow workers to complete the road pavements Market Street will be closed from Midland Highway to Armstrong Street North on 15 January 2024 to 18 January 2024 and 24 January to 25 January 2024 (inclusive). Businesses remain open during this time.

NAMING PROPOSAL FOR NEW COMMUNITY HUB AND KINDERGARTEN IN ALFREDTON

The City of Ballarat, in partnership with the Victorian State Government, is currently delivering a multipurpose kindergarten and community hub at 18 Donegal Drive within the Ballymanus Estate (located next to the Djila-tjarriu Playspace).

With the building due for completion in December 2023, the City of Ballarat is now seeking feedback on the proposed naming of the facility as the Djila-tjarriu Community Hub, and the kindergarten as the Djila-tjarriu Kindergarten.

The City of Ballarat has collaborated with the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation to receive language permission for the use of the name Djila-tjarriu (pronounced Jilla-ja-roo), which means ‘place of play’.

Individuals can make a submission relating to the proposed naming of the new facility via mysay.ballarat.vic.gov.au until Monday, 15 January 2024.
