Ballan Library and Community Hub Opens Its Doors

Member for Eureka Michaela Settle MP has officially opened the new Ballan Library and Community Hub, delivering a modern and welcoming space for learning, connection and creativity.

The $7.25 million project has been made possible through a strong partnership between the Victorian Government, Moorabool Shire Council and the Ballan and District Community Hospital. The Victorian Government contributed $5 million, with further support from Council ($2.25 million) and the Hospital ($250,000).

The new hub will provide a wide range of services for the community, including:

• A modern library with digital resources and study spaces.
• Dedicated children’s and youth areas to encourage literacy and engagement.
• Maternal and Child Health consultation rooms.
• Flexible meeting rooms and a professional art exhibition space.
• A Visitor Information Centre.

The project was shaped by local feedback and is designed to meet the needs of Ballan now and into the future.

“The new Ballan Library and Community Hub is a landmark investment for our thriving Ballan community, offering library services, Maternal & Child Health support, exhibition space, visitor information and flexible meeting venues. I know this facility will make a huge difference to everyone in town—and I couldn’t be more excited to see it officially open and full of life

This project is a testament to what can be achieved when government, council and community work together for the future of Ballan.”
