Ararat, Administrative center in western Victoria, Australia
Ararat functions as a main administrative hub in Victoria, overseeing a territory of 4,211 square kilometers with a population of 11,880 residents.
The establishment of Ararat dates to 1857 during the Victorian gold rush, when Chinese miners discovered substantial gold deposits in the region.
The Djab Wurrung people maintain strong connections to the land, contributing their traditions and knowledge to the regional cultural framework.
The Ararat Council headquarters provides municipal services on weekdays, including pet registration, rate payments, and community development programs.
Mount Langi Ghiran winery, renewable energy wind farms, and agricultural production form the economic foundation of this Victorian administrative region.
