  • Roads & Open Space Historical Index
    CITY OF BALLARAT ROADS & OPEN SPACE HISTORICAL INDEX A Very Brief History of the City of Ballarat The City of Ballarat is mostly situated in the northern part of Wathaurung Country, which covers an area very roughly bounded by present-day Werribee, Queenscliff, Aireys Inlet, Cressy, Streatham, Beaufort, Learmonth and Bacchus Marsh. The part of the City north of Learmonth is Dja Dja Wurrung Country. The City recognises the Wathaurung and Dja Dja Wurrung peoples as the original settlers and custodians of these lands. In January 1838, Somerville and Thomas Learmonth, William Yuille, Henry Anderson and John Aitken set out from Corio to explore the area to the north-west, which included the present day City of Ballarat. By 1839, settlers had established a number of homesteads, as well as Victoria’s first inland settlement at Buninyong. The pastoral landscape was changed forever when gold was discovered near Buninyong and at Golden Point in August 1851. The rush that followed established Ballarat, which quickly became Victoria’s largest inland city. The name Ballarat is derived from the Wathawurrung word Ballaarat (also written Balla-arat) and is generally accepted to mean elbow place or resting place. Key Dates in Local Municipal History 18 December 1855 16 February 1864 Municipality of Ballaarat created (note “aa” Buninyong District Roads Board became Shire of spelling) Buninyong 7 October 1856 Grenville District Roads Board became Shire of Ballarat District Roads Board created Grenville 5 May 1857 1 October 1864 Municipality of Ballarat

Adding to its appeal, Ballarat has also been named as one of Australia’s most liveable regional cities. Proximity to the state capital and housing affordability are the key factors behind Ballarat’s popularity with investors and home-buyers seeking alternatives to Melbourne. First home-buyers in particular are making their presence felt. Ballarat is one of Australia’s strongest regional cities. It thrives through a diverse economy, low unemployment, a growing population and proximity to Melbourne, making it a popular commuter city. With the State and Federal Governments planning to spend billions on upgrading road and rail links to Ballarat, including improved connections to Melbourne airport, commuting will become easier. Several construction projects like GovHub, the hospital expansion, the train precinct and new land estates are drawing in tradesmen who need accommodation, so vacancies are low.
