Did you know the Victorian railway network is funded, managed and operated by the state government?

And, for large scale projects, infrastructure is often co-funded by the federal government.

So, while the City of Ballarat does not have any direct control over rail, we have a strong advocacy role to play on behalf of our community and the wider Western Victorian region.

Now is your opportunity to tell us about your ideas and thoughts on the role rail can play in our long-term future.

The feedback we receive will guide the development of a formal set of rail investment priorities for Ballarat.

This research will be shared with transport authorities such as V/Line, PTV, VicTrack, Transport for Victoria and the Department of Transport.
