Ballan Main Street project

The Ballan Urban Design Framework 2003 provides a vision for Ballan, and promotes viable and sustainable development to ensure that Ballan is attractive, convenient and accessible for residents and  visitors. The Ballan Main Street project involved extensive community  consultation, and  identified  a number of key project opportunities.

Moorabool Shire Council has completed the first stage of revitalisation (Department of Sustainability and Environment Pride of Place Programme), being the redevelopment of McLean Reserve.

Stage 2 of the Ballan Main Street project aims to further engender pride in the town by:

[1] Development of a community space at the front of the Mechanics  Institute  that  promotes social engagement in the Main Street and community art (community hub)

[2] Physical improvements linking this community space and McLean Reserve,  including new paving, street furniture and landscaping to improve amenity

[3] Interpretive signage identifying and promoting:

[a] local businesses and tourism opportunities (located at McLean Reserve); and

[b] community facilities, organisations and events (located at the Mechanics Institute)
