Moorabool Shire Council is a local government authority in the Central Highlands region of Victoria, Australia, serving a mix of rural and expanding urban communities across 64 localities, including Bacchus Marsh, Ballan, Gordon and Blackwood. Based in Ballan, the council lies about 45 kilometers from Melbourne and provides services across sectors such as retail, manufacturing, health, community services, education, and property to support local livability and economic activity. The shire overlooks a landscape noted for its agricultural heritage and natural amenities, while acknowledging the traditional custodians of the land, the Wathaurong and Wurundjeri peoples. A recent development is the launch of Antenno, a mobile app that enables two-way communication between residents and council. In addition, the council is pursuing planning and development work, including an Investment Attraction Strategy and master plans for Lal Lal Falls Reserve and the Ballan Cycling Hub feasibility study, to guide growth and community infrastructure.
