The Yarrowee: Uncovering the secrets of the Ballarat River
BMI Twilight Talks are back! The series is hosted by Prue Bentley.
Session 1
The Yarrowee’s cultural connection: Then and now
Environmental challenges for the City of Ballarat
“City of Ballarat Councillor Belinda Coates is passionate about the environment and action on climate change. She will speak about some of the key environmental issues that confront Ballarat and the need to think globally and act locally”.
The Yarrowee River Project
Between 1995 and 2004 the City of Ballarat together with a myriad community groups and government agencies took the opportunity to make huge strides in the implementation of the Yarrowee River Corridor Landscape Master Plan.
The Plan arose from recommendations in the 1991 Ballarat Region Conservation Strategy and was initiated in 2004 by the community-lead LINCS Committee under the auspice of the Ballarat Regional Board.
Hedley’s talk will cover the work achieved and includes a 12 minute video presentation.
