Disquiet over priorities at Railway Station precinct

UNVEILED: Concept designs of the refurbishment of the derelict goods shed and a new hotel have raised questions about transport integration.

I note this week’s article about development at Ballarat station. Currently, it is practically impossible to park at either Ballarat or Wendouree station if one needs to catch a train to Melbourne after peak hour, nor are buses to stations available from many locations.What are we to do when parking is removed while the development is in progress? Why cannot the proposed multi-story car park be built before development starts rather than "at an unspecified date"? Why no mention of taxi or bus area upgrades? The proposal seems to be about looking after big business with little thought for the people of Ballarat.
