Hello, as this shop is only one of an original trio of shops built together, how will any kind of partial demolition impact on the overall look of the period shop fronts?
In a historically significant town/reginal city which Ballarat is, even the period shops are important and need to be preserved.
Ballarat has already lost too much of its history due to BCC incompetence in allowing significant buildings to be demolished or altered so individual councillors feel like they've left "their mark" during their tenure.
I would like to know in detail what this application for partial demonstration will entail?
If it was to alter the overall look of the original structure of the trio of shops built together then I would not like it to proceed.
Retaining history is too important.
Thank you.
