ACHM has supported Development Victoria on the delivery of the Ballarat West Employment Zone (BWEZ), a major 438‑hectare industrial and logistics precinct being developed to drive long‑term economic growth for the Ballarat region. The project is transforming surplus Crown land on Wadawurrung Country into a future‑focused hub for manufacturing, freight, construction and commercial activity.
Working in partnership with Development Victoria, the City of Ballarat and the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation, ACHM has provided ongoing cultural heritage guidance and approvals support across multiple stages of the precinct. Our work ensures that project planning and construction proceed in line with cultural heritage legislation, while respecting Wadawurrung cultural values and maintaining strong, transparent relationships with Traditional Owners.
Through our involvement, ACHM has helped Development Victoria deliver a precinct that balances economic opportunity with responsible, culturally informed land management.
