2026 Australia Day Ceremony: Council invites you to join us to celebrate and honour local achievements at our annual Australia Day ceremony at Alexandra Oval Community Centre on Monday 26 January. Community BBQ starts at 9am, followed by a 10am award presentation.

Welcome to the Ararat region and regardless of whether you're considering a move from either the city or from another regional town, take a look through Council's website to read about and discover the amazing place we call home, and why you should too.

From our open and welcoming communities to our excellent community and sporting facilities and healthcare, the Ararat region has so many things that will tick all the boxes for work, lifestyle, nature, education, fresh air, lack of traffic, and so much more. The Grampians Life site is also a great reference for making the move to our beautiful and welcoming region and well worth a look.

If you have already made the decision to come to our beautiful region, Council's website will supply you with information you might need to become a welcome part of our community.
