While Ballarat police station seemed to largely missed out of significant funding from the $36.8 million dollar police package, the government has promised extra police officers on the beat in regional Victoria.
The package is in response to the increase in crime and theft across Victoria.
Acting police minister Robin Scott said the funding would help police address some of the most serious issues facing the community, including family violence and the scourge of ice.
“This significant investment will mean more police and new and upgraded police stations right across regional Victoria,” Mr Scott said.
“It will help police address some of the most serious issues facing our community today including family violence and the scourge of ice.” A timeline for the completion of the works has not yet been released.
