  • 21.01 Pyrenees Shire Key Influences & Issues 21.01-1
    PYRENEES PLANNING SCHEME 21.01 PYRENEES SHIRE KEY INFLUENCES & ISSUES 15/12/2016 C41 21.01-1 Snapshot of Pyrenees Shire 15/12/2016 C41 Pyrenees Shire is located in central Victoria between the regional centres of Ballarat and Ararat. It shares common boundaries with the City of Ballarat and Shire of Hepburn to the east, Golden Plains Shire to the south-east, Corangamite and Moyne Shires to the south, Rural City of Ararat to the west, Northern Grampians Shire to the north-west and Central Goldfields Shire to the north-east. Pyrenees Shire was created in September 1994 by the amalgamation of the Shires of Avoca, Lexton and Ripon. It takes its name from the Pyrenees Range, a “fold range” which is almost entirely located within its municipal borders. The Shire covers an area of 3457 square kilometres, extending approximately 90 kilometres in a north-south direction and 40 kilometres in an east-west direction. Despite its size, the Shire has only a small population of 6867 (Victoria in Future 2016), the majority of which reside in the towns of Beaufort and Avoca. There are a number of smaller townships and settlements located throughout the Shire however, which provide local services and facilities to surrounding rural areas and provide important foci for community activities and social interaction. The Shire is projected to have a population of 7,419 by 2031 (Victoria in Future 2016). The Western, Sunraysia and Pyrenees Highways pass through the Shire and provide it with good connections to the surrounding region and to Melbourne. However the good external road connections combined with the small population has resulted in residents relying to some extent on the nearby regional centres and large towns for employment and to meet their needs for retail services, community services and entertainment.
