The Victorian Planning Authority proudly acknowledges Victoria’s Aboriginal community and their rich culture and pays respect to their Elders past and present.

We acknowledge Aboriginal people as Australia’s first peoples and as the Traditional Owners and custodians of the land and water on which we rely.

We recognise and value the ongoing contribution of Aboriginal people and communities to Victorian life and how this enriches us.

We embrace the spirit of reconciliation, working towards the equality of outcomes and ensuring an equal voice.

Project Status Updates

Project Status Updates – October 2022

The Minister for Planning appointed the Victorian Planning Authority (VPA) as Planning Authority for Ballarat North on 31 August 2022. This means the VPA is now responsible for developing a precinct structure plan, development contributions plan and planning scheme amendment for the precinct. 

Since August, the VPA has been engaging with the City of Ballarat, the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) and other government agencies to prepare to commence of the project.  

In the coming months we will issue expressions of interest for third party funding agreements to landowners within the precinct and undertake in-person and online information sessions with landowners.
