The City of Ballarat welcomes the business tax cuts announced in the Federal budget and the support it will provide the Ballarat community, local businesses and economy.

We also welcome the announcement in regard to VET training and apprenticeships and the support this will provide regional Victoria.

We welcome the continued investment in regional roads, rail and air, which goes back to our commitment to integrated transport. This will help get things made in Ballarat out of Ballarat.

While Ballarat didn’t receive any specific budget announcements, which was particularly disappointing for Her Majesty’s Theatre, it is a good budget for regional Victoria.

We hope Ballarat will be a beneficiary in budgets to come, and, in the lead up to the Federal election, the City of Ballarat will continue to vigorously lobby both sides of politics.
