Browse property in Hewitt Street

Hewitt Street sits within Ararat’s historic grid‑plan core, where the streetscape is punctuated by 19th‑century bluestone structures such as the former Sub‑Treasury, Telegraph & Post Office and the brick Court House, and residential stretches often blend these heritage façades with later timber and brick homes typical of a regional Victorian town. The neighbourhood benefits from nearby community hubs, including the Hopkins Correctional Centre (1.8 km away) and the older Ararat Prison weather station (1.6 km), while Rhymney Hill rises just 2.5 km to the south‑west, adding a natural backdrop to the built environment.

Roads radiate from the town centre along the Western Highway, Pyrenees Highway, Ararat‑Pomonal Road and Mortlake‑Ararat Road, providing convenient car access to Ballarat, Melbourne, Horsham and Adelaide, while Ararat Transit runs three bus routes and the V/Line rail station offers regular services to Ballarat and Melbourne; a regional airport sits 5 km to the south. Residents and visitors alike enjoy a full complement of amenities – a major district hospital, four primary schools, two secondary colleges, a regional art gallery and performing arts centre, and a vibrant sporting scene – all supported by the town’s role as the administrative and service hub for the Rural City of Ararat.
