Why Ballarat?
Ballarat has been described as a “mini Melbourne”, without the traffic, the exhaust fumes and the hefty property prices. This gracious gold-rush boom town combines a sense of history with all that’s best in modern living. As Victoria’s largest and fastest growing inland city, it boasts outstanding healthcare and educational facilities, including its own university. It’s a lively city, with great cafés, parks, sporting facilities and entertainment for all ages. Perhaps that’s why it has been named among Australia’s top 10 most liveable cities and No. 2 in Victoria – ahead of Bendigo and Geelong.*
In Australia, there’s a move to the country. People are looking for more affordable homes and a more relaxed lifestyle. With many embracing flexible working arrangements, it’s easier than ever to seek out a better life beyond the big city. This has seen more and more people from Melbourne either move to or invest in Ballarat homes.
In response to this, the State Government is investing additional funds in the city, committing $461.6 million to redevelop Ballarat Base Hospital, $100 million to upgrade train lines and $47.8 million to build a GovHub office for 600 public service positions being relocated from Melbourne. The development of an industrial estate to Ballarat’s west has attracted potential commercial investment, including a proposed $300-million waste-to-energy facility.
While investments like this will promote jobs growth in Ballarat, many choose to commute to Melbourne either daily or several days a week. There’s a choice of frequent train services or easy freeway driving. Even getting to the airport is easy with a shuttle bus to Tullamarine airport providing 138 weekly services from Ballarat train station.
Here you can enjoy an active lifestyle, impressive annual event calendar, quality education, and easy transport options to Melbourne or the surf coast.
