5 Year Strategic Plan
Executive Summary
The 2022 – 2027 Strategic Plan for the Ballan & District Chamber of Commerce has been developed to establish the future directions to activate Ballan by encouraging visitors and support businesses.
Recently the Ballan & District Chamber of Commerce began the process of starting to think of their local businesses as a shopping centre rather than individuals so they can approach collectively marketing and promoting the area as such.
Our Business Community
We are lucky enough to have an amazing variety and amount of small businesses in Ballan & District.
Our vast Chamber spans across Moorabool Shire, where we employ many initiatives to help our community of members.
We hold events throughout the year where all our members can connect and the public can also get involved. Alongside our events we have projects that our members participate in and are rewarded with.
Business Excellence Awards
Ballan & District Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards is the opportunity for your business to be recognised for its outstanding contribution to the regional community.
Regional Tourism
The Chamber of Commerce actively advocates for business and tourism in the region and has been responsible for some major initiatives.
Ballan Arboretum
Ballan is investing in trees for the future. Our vision for Ballan is to become Australia’s first town within an arboretum. In its simplest form an arboretum is a place with trees.
Community Bank
In 2007, a second and successful attempt by Chamber to open the Ballan and District Community Bank (Bendigo Bank franchise) commenced with a long and successful campaign which resulted in the bank opening after extensive input and support by the Chamber in November 2011.
