We’re supporting job creation and offering businesses more opportunities to join Ballarat’s thriving industrial sector, with a new round of expressions of interest now open for land sales at the Ballarat West Employment Zone (BWEZ).

With a strong economic growth rate and sustained year-on-year population increases, Ballarat is an ideal location for businesses looking to establish or expand their regional operations.

BWEZ offers 400 hectares of prime industrial land for businesses and is creating a hub for jobs and industries that will continue to drive economic growth across Ballarat and the Central Highlands region.

The Victorian Government has invested more than $70 million over the last decade in the staged development of industrial land at BWEZ.

It has already created hundreds of jobs and secured millions in private investment, boosting the regional supply chain and creating an engine room for regional economic growth.

Future BWEZ tenants will join companies including Field Air, John Valves, CHS Broadbent, Kane Transport, George Weston Foods, Luv-A-Duck, Westland and Athlegen.

More than 2,000 jobs will be created when BWEZ is fully developed.

BWEZ continues to be delivered by Development Victoria, with RDV and Ballarat City Council attracting investors to the precinct.

The latest round of expressions of interest at BWEZ will be open until 3pm AEST on Thursday, 11 December 2025.
