The Miners Rest Plan

The City of Ballarat is partnering with the Miners Rest community to deliver The Miners Rest Plan: Our Township Towards 2040. Miners Rest is one of six local townships participating in the City of Ballarat's Local Plans for our Townships Program.

The plan will:

• Give the community a collective long-term vision and action plan
• Help community groups make a strong case when applying for grants or lobbying for funding
• Give the City of Ballarat and Miners Rest community an in-depth understanding of the availability of, and need for, local services and infrastructure
• Assist the City of Ballarat prioritise its investment in Miners Rest
• Include actions the community can deliver itself
• Assist the Miners Rest community and City of Ballarat to manage change
• Provide the City of Ballarat with a detailed understanding of local planning issues that are important to the community and establish a direction to guide these challenges

The Issues and Opportunities Paper has recently been prepared following an initial round of community consultation undertaken earlier this year. The paper combines input received from residents and other interested parties, with expert analysis, to provide an overview of the key challenges and opportunities in achieving the community’s vision for Miners Rest.

All residents are encouraged to have their say on the Issues and Opportunities Paper by providing further feedback. Community consultation closes at 5pm, Monday 23 October 2017.

Have your say on the paper which is now available online or pick up a copy at Customer Service, The Phoenix, 25 Armstrong Street South or Ballarat Library, Doveton Street North.
