NAMING PROPOSAL FOR NEW COMMUNITY HUB AND KINDERGARTEN IN ALFREDTON
The City of Ballarat, in partnership with the Victorian State Government, is currently delivering a multipurpose kindergarten and community hub at 18 Donegal Drive within the Ballymanus Estate (located next to the Djila-tjarriu Playspace).
With the building due for completion in December 2023, the City of Ballarat is now seeking feedback on the proposed naming of the facility as the Djila-tjarriu Community Hub, and the kindergarten as the Djila-tjarriu Kindergarten.
The City of Ballarat has collaborated with the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation to receive language permission for the use of the name Djila-tjarriu (pronounced Jilla-ja–roo), which means ‘place of play’.
Individuals can make a submission relating to the proposed naming of the new facility via mysay.ballarat.vic.gov.au until Monday, 15 January 2024.
