Why is this being done for just over 55's?

If ya wanna fix the issue, ya gotta start by settin' up the infrastructure like shops, child care centers, and that sorta stuff, and then plan cleverly where ya gonna put 'em.
How about we start chucking up some cribs in Delacombe where they've taken down heaps of houses and now it's just bloody empty land.

That was for the cool kids' clubhouse!

Why does everybody think anyone over 55 wants to move to a tiny two-bedroom place? We need more places to rent in Ballarat.
Jim Morgan
I'm over 55. I ain't budgin'.
Bevan Hopes
We need more support for the over 55s in Wendouree and housing should not mix single young people who like to party with the older residents. Unit blocks should be exclusively for those over 55.
Nick Evans
How can it address Ballarat's housing problems? Please provide more information.

Is that question fair dinkum? It bloody doesn't do bugger all for families and single parents couch surfing, or anyone struggling to make ends meet.

Ballarat ain't got housing problems, it's got too many people problems.

That's if old heads wanna kick it in Brown hill and whip around town in their ride, away from all the dope shops and stuff.

Is this gonna be fair dinkum affordable housing for the over 55's or just another choice for cashed up oldies with plenty of choices already?
Simon Matthews
Yeah mate, fair dinkum. It's not just the older folks struggling to find a place to live. I'm 28 and apparently considered over 55, according to you lot. Let's build bloody houses for everyone, not just a select age group. How is only building for one age demographic supposed to fix the housing cris... View More

I'd never invest in a retirement home - you don't even own the land it's on!
Angelo de Angelis
Why are there so many oldies with kids still clinging on? Not sure that's gonna fix anything. Retirement seems like a distant dream if you can't even afford a place to live or higher rent. How about a fun piece on Ballarat hitting number 2 for struggling with mortgages in the state?

A high-rise building on the old sale yard site would increase the population.
