Planning Delegated Committee Meeting | December 2024

At the monthly Planning Delegated Committee Meeting on Wednesday 4 December, Ballarat City Council considered three agenda items:

Heritage overlay for the former Price’s Grocery, 202 Lyons Street South, Ballarat Central (C258BALL)  

Ballarat City Council received a report from officers on the Heritage Overlay for the former Price’s Grocery.  

The City of Ballarat has been progressively identifying buildings and places of historical significance to the people of Ballarat through the Heritage Gaps Review Program.  

It was resolved to advise the Minister for Planning that a heritage assessment has been undertaken for 202 Lyon Street South which identified the building as having local heritage significance.  

The Planning Delegated Committee therefore resolved to move to the next step by seeking authorisation to commence a Planning Scheme Amendment to apply a Heritage Overlay to the building.
