Short description
In Ballarat, the main focus of applying the HUL has been moving away from ‘development versus preservation’ towards an integrated conservation model. By actively involving different stakeholders and building a comprehensive ‘living’ knowledge base, the city is enhancing public participation and building a new culture-based framework to inspire sustainable and creative responses to change.
