Farmers get chance to quiz council over ballarat lands ’cause they’re in need’

Residents of Ballarat are questioning the value of the council’s decision to allocate a slice of their land for a park as part of the state’s Centenary redevelopment.

Premier Jay Weatherill has announced the park — with its distinctive views and small size — as part of a “centenary redevelopment”.
