New Residents

New Resident Functions

If you are new to Ballarat, you may wish to attend one of Council's 'new resident' functions. Approximately four functions are held every year giving new residents an opportunity to meet others, and to find out what services are available from Council and the general Ballarat community. Childcare is available for FREE at each event. To find out when the next new residents function is, please contact Customer Service on 03 5320 5500, or call into the Phoenix building at 25 Armstrong Street South, Ballarat.

New residents may also like to pick up a free copy of the Ballarat Early Years Guide. This guide outlines all services, schools, agencies etc that you may find helpful if you have children 0-12 years of age.
