Outdoor dining can create vibrant streetscapes, where people gather, the area feels exciting and draws you to return. This can often come at the cost of parking spaces, which are instead turned into places for people to gather.

It is now your chance to let the City of Ballarat know what your feedback of parking in Ballarat and how the city’s outdoor spaces are activated. This will assist future planning for car parking, activation of public spaces and outdoor dining.
