“An initial component of this project was recently completed thanks to investment by the City of Ballarat and funding through the State Government Public Safety Infrastructure Fund; however there is still much works that needs to be done, which today’s commitment will make possible should the Government be re-elected in November”. 

This is a hugely important project for the people of Wendouree West and on behalf of Council and those residents I thank the State Government for its promise to fund this project if re-elected.
