The Robert Clark Centre which opened in 1995 was made possible by $2million bequest from the grandson of Mr Robert Clark, the co-founder and proprietor of the Ballarat Courier. The two components are The Conservatory and the Resource Centre. It is from here that Lake Wendouree and the Ballarat Botanical Gardens are administered.  The Resource Centre is used for meetings by horticultural and other community groups. The centre is available for seminars, exhibitions and small events. A permanent exhibition of historic photographs of the Gardens and information panels tell the history of the Gardens from 1857-1890 as well as the history of Ballarat's Begonia Festival which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2002.
