Ballarat Airport Strategic Masterplan  

Boz, a charming gentleman who loves having fun, especially in the water. He loves being with people and going for walks.

Bozwell is an Irish Wolfhound mix and would love an active family to make plenty of memories in the outdoors with.  

The City of Ballarat will remove and replace 12 poplar, willow and claret ash trees that are at the end of their life or in poor condition around Lake Wendouree.  

The trees were assessed by an independent arboriculturist in April 2023 and have been recommended for removal to minimise the risk to public safety.

The City of Ballarat’s Parks and Gardens team will replace the trees with the same species, in accordance with the Heritage Council of Victoria Lake Wendouree Registration under H2419.

Works are scheduled to commence from 4 December 2023.

The Ballarat Animal Shelter has more than 40 dogs available for adoption today.

The Shelter would like to see as many dogs spend Christmas in their new family home as possible.

It is important that you have thoroughly reviewed the responsibilities of pet ownership, before adopting a dog for Christmas, or indeed any time of year.

It is important to think about your new pet, and what your animal’s day-to-day life will be after the Christmas holidays are over.

Potential adoptions should visit the Ballarat Animal Shelter to discuss their requirements and find the paw-fect match for your family and lifestyle.

The Ballarat Animal Shelter, at 5A Gillingham Place, Alfredton is open Monday – Friday from 9am – 4pm. Drop in or call 5334 2075, to discuss your potential adoption.
