September 23rd, 2023Greater Ballarat alliance of councils launched at Creswick

The federal MP for Ballarat Catherine King earlier this month launched the recently-formed Greater Ballarat Alliance of Councils, in Creswick.

The alliance is made up of mayors and CEOs from Hepburn Shire, City of Ballarat, Pyrenees Shire, Golden Plains Shire, Moorabool Shire and Central Goldfields Shire.

This regional group of councils is expected to be a collective voice for the region and advocate on common issues such as transport, housing and digital connectivity.

The Hepburn Shire issued a media release stating that it was “proud and excited to be part of the GBAC, as there is a greater ability to influence important State and Federal Government decision-making in a partnership”.
