So proud to announce that Ballarat Council has won the Strategic Planning award at the National Economic Development Australia Awards in recognition of our work on the Ballarat West Employment Zone!! The Ballarat West Employment Zone is a 623 hectare precinct to the west of Ring Road and Learmonth Road that has been earmarked as Ballarats future employment area. The site was selected via Council’s Industrial Land Use Strategy, a strategic and well considered planning process. The Employment Zone has good access to road, rail and aviation infrastructure and is located in Ballarat’s growth corridor. The Employment Zone is an essential part of Council’s strategic vision for the future growth and prosperity of our City. Ballarat’s manufacturing sector is a key driver and cornerstone of Ballarat’s economy. The Employment Zone will create new opportunities for modern and competitive manufacturing facilities in Ballarat as well as associated opportunities for logistics, transport and commercial activities. The Employment Zone will ensure that sufficient land is available for the development of industry for many years to come. The new Employment Zone represents Council’s desire to proactively plan for Ballarat’s growth. Developing the Employment Zone will create long term job opportunities and employment stability for our residents. In addition to the Employment Zone, Council is also undertaking planning for the Ballarat West Growth Area and the Ballarat Western Link Road. The planning of these three interrelated projects will ensure the city can accommodate population growth in a sustainable manner, capitalise on investment opportunities and improve transport efficiency.
