Overview

Ballarat East is the fourth‑largest suburb in the Ballarat area, with 5,937 residents recorded at the 2021 Census. Set on the historic gold‑mining flats east of the city centre, its winding, unplanned streets retain a 19th‑century feel, and heritage overlays protect many dwellings dating from the 1860s to the 1940s. The housing mix reflects this legacy, with character homes on tree‑lined streets, some vacant lots where old mine tailings have limited development, and a growing community of families attracted by the suburb’s distinctive charm.
