8 Mair Street (PLP/2022/508)
Councillors also considered the current Planning Permit Application relating to 8 Mair Street and 116 - 122 Lydiard Street, Ballarat Central, and the permit applicant’s request to the Minister for Planning to call-in the application for a final decision on the planning application and connecting bridge component.
