This building provides 25 offices and a range of Flexible Spaces across two levels, with lift access.  Then in 2021, the Ballarat Business Centre opened two further sites at; 6-8 Lowe Street and 56 Lydiard Street. With the introduction of the new sites together with our Sturt Street and Holmes Street sites, we are able to offer a variety of Business accommodation and support services for people looking to start a small business.
