 The City of Ballarat has welcomed calls by Development Victoria (DV) for Expressions of Interest for the Ballarat Intermodal Freight Hub Terminal Developer and Operator in the  Ballarat West Employment Zone (BWEZ). 

Located on the north-west fringe of Ballarat adjacent to the Ballarat Airport, BWEZ is considered the Ballarat region’s ‘engine room’ for jobs and economic growth over the next 20 years, with a perceived mix of industrial, wholesale, logistics, construction and other businesses. 

The EOI seeks submissions from experienced parties to design, develop and operate the terminal component of the proposed Ballarat Intermodal Freight Hub through a lease agreement with VicTrack.  

Ballarat Mayor, Cr Ben Taylor said it was very encouraging to see the Intermodal Freight Hub project moving to this next stage. 

“The City of Ballarat has worked closely with Development Victoria on this process and we see exceptional value in having an intermodal freight hub located at the Ballarat West Employment Zone, with the site’s access to road, broad gauge rail and aviation infrastructure."

“I look forward to seeing the outcome of the process,” he said.
