Development Victoria is starting important works to unlock and restore contaminated and underutilised land to create new opportunities for the growing Ballarat community.
At the former Ballarat Saleyards site, the search is underway for a contractor to carry out remediation and demolition works, following the completion of detailed site investigations.
Acting Group Head Housing, Nemesia Kennett, said these works will prepare the land for future use.
Once remediation is complete, we will explore options for a new employment precinct on the site, with long-term potential for new homes to support Ballarat’s expanding population.

The strategic planning for the future use of the site will be led by the City of Ballarat, with support from Development Victoria to facilitate urban renewal and a mixed-use precinct development.
“Local contractors are encouraged to participate in the open tender process, which we plan to launch this month.”
The Ballarat community will be kept informed ahead of any planned site activities.
