AFTER months of consultation, Ballarat City Council will look at adopting its CBD strategy for the next 25 years on Wednesday night.Council released its draft document to the community in October outlining its plans for the CBD, with council already committing $8 million in its budget over four years to pay for the associated works.Growth and Development portfolio councillor Craig Fletcher said he was confident council would adopt the strategy.According to a report to go before council on Wednesday night, projects will be prioritised over a short, medium and long-term period.The report details the strategy's potential redevelopment sites, including Civic Hall, Big W and Little Bridge Street car parks, a high rise office precinct along Mair Street and railway precinct options.The report said the strategy's study area extended from Bakery Hill to Grant St, across to Dawson St and to the railyards.Under council's draft budget for the next two years, $5.8 million will be allocated to start stage one of the Armstrong Street plaza and develop a CBD parking strategy.Cr Fletcher said the strategy really set out a 25-year-plan for revitalising and ensuring Ballarat remained a liveable, productive and economic city."I'm particularly excited about creating a heart for the centre of Ballarat, enabling businesses to have confidence that councils are focused on a long-term strategy for making the city work more effectively,'' he said."The CBD strategy is uniquely about Ballarat rather than replicating another city; it encapsulates the things great and special about Ballarat and builds upon them.''When it was released in October, the draft plan drew a mixed response from the community, with some cynical and others supporting the idea.Cr Fletcher said council had a significant amount of community consultation and input from the community."This document going before council is the result of over thousands of conversations with the community," he said.
