Imagining the Future: Ballarat

Description

As our cities and regions grow, how can we address the challenges ahead while ensuring Ballarat's unique character and qualities are maintained? How do we balance heritage conservation with the need for affordable housing? How can we ensure equitable access to community infrastructure like libraries, parks, and public services? And, how can we create a more sustainable city?
