Have Your Say – Community Infrastructure Plan 

The City of Ballarat is in the process of developing a Community Infrastructure Plan.  

As part of the development of the Community Infrastructure Plan we are gathering a range of information about existing facilities (including their fitness for purpose, location, user groups and utilisation), and the service needs that our growing and changing population will have in the future, to ensure we plan for the delivery of infrastructure that will be required to meet those needs.  

This month we’re seeking the views of community facility managers and tenants. To have your say, and for more information about the development of the Community Infrastructure Plan, log on to mysay.ballarat.vic.gov.au/community-infrastructure-planning by this Sunday 16 May.
