Bridge Mall redevelopment
Juliana ADDISON (Wendouree) (10:02): The Bridge Mall in Ballarat is an important part of my family’s history, with two generations of traders running small businesses at opposite ends of Bridge Street. My dad Les Dickinson was a pharmacist and operated his chemist shop for decades at 10 Bridge Street, and my grandfather, another Les Dickinson, operated Gullen’s Newsagency at 88 Bridge Street. I was so pleased to join in the reopening celebrations on Saturday. Well done to the City of Ballarat, the Bridge Mall traders and everyone involved in delivering this transformative project for our important shopping precinct.
