The group is calling on the state government to scrap plans for a multi-million dollar hotel and convention centre at city’s railway precinct and build a state-of-the-art bus terminal for commuters.
With the help of experts they have canvassed an alternative plan which they believe can be achieved with the $25 million already set aside in the state government’s budget for the site.
Plans include converting the historic bluestone Goods Shed into a bus terminal instead of a hotel and a sealed ground level car park with 490 spaces. SOS Ballarat is making a presentation of its proposal on Saturday from 9.30am to 10.30am at the Provincial Hotel, Lydiard Street North opposite the Ballarat Railway Station.
