Workshop 2.1 - Minutes Item 2 Ammon presented the story so far and summarised the last activation workshop. He outlined that we are now producing a feasibility design report for the City of Ballarat. The core team of Ammon, Onur, Marg and Michelle have met twice. The tour was recognised as an inspiration for Margi, who had since made changes to the Business Centre’s gathering space. She saw the value of creating a part of the building for people to meet, in this instance the kitchen space, as a welcoming way people could gather to improve networking opportunities. Aldona outlined her excitement of being about to connect with others and work with the “buzz’ of other people around in an inspiring environment. An environment can make you more creative”.

Item 3 Ammon outlined the concept of doing an audit of the assets we can indentify as possessing already – that we can potentially build on and engage to shape the project. As opposed to focusing on what is lacking in the current environment, what are the assets we can identify as owning already? The maps of Ballarat assets were prepared in groups of three, showing a local map and the region. Assets included the University, the Lake Wendouree, Victoria Park, transport connections, M.A.D.E, Sovereign Hill, manufacturing, Tech Park, Gekko, Gold Acres, Her Majesty’s Theatre, Royal South Street Society, Breaze, Ballarat Business Centre, Commerce Ballarat, Committee for Ballarat and Ballarat Regional Tourism.
