The 2017-21 Action Plan sets out 12 priority projects for the Ballarat CBD, including both council and state funded projects.
Among the developments proposed is the Mair Street upgrade, which could see buildings as high as six storeys line parts of the street.
The Bakery Hill Gateway Masterplan would also see a significant increase in development at the Bridge Mall and on Curtis and Little Bridge streets.

Councillor Ben Taylor said additional consultation would occur as all elements of the plan would need to go before council.
