The City of Ballarat is now working on restoration and updating the facilities of the Civic Hall. It should be open in 6 months. However the State Government is determined to demolish an important part of it – the Lower Hall.

Save Civic Hall has therefore no other option that to take the state government to VCAT. We also are circulating a petition, which people are queuing up to sign!

We are asking for the state government to build around the Lower Hall or, preferably, build their 5-storey office block somewhere else.

Petitions can be found at some of Ballarat’s best coffee shops and watering holes – Stockade Cellars, The Turret Cafe, GCs and Wholefoods Cafe.

The state government has shown its ability to ignore the community – just look at the demolition already occurring at Ballarat Station.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!
