Classic quote of space and place:

Renault: Why did you come to Casablanca Rick?
Rick: "For my health, I came here for the waters."
Renault: "The waters? Casablanca is in the desert."
Rick: "I was misinformed."

Civic Hall

We've moved office. In to the heart of the Ballarat CBD.

Always a stressful time, thankfully not too bad for once. A lot is happening in Ballarat at the moment and in planning in general. The time for debate on design what this era of planning and design leaves for our future generations has never been more important.

Recent debate on the future of the Civic Hall site in Ballarat is a case in point. The link below is an interesting editorial in the Courier, Ballarat's newspaper on the matter. Stay tuned.
