Introduction

Since the 1980s VECCI has serviced the needs of local businesses in the Ballarat and Western region, covering the major centres of Ballarat, Warracknabeal, Horsham, Stawell, Ararat, Maryborough, Daylesford and Bacchus Marsh plus the broader area'. One of Australia's most progressive business organisations, VECCI has more than 150 years experience and vast professional resources.

Population projections for the region over the next 15-20 years indicate strong growth will occur in the City of Ballarat and the East Central Highlands. Key industries include retail trade, manufacturing, agriculture, forestry, fishing, health and community services.

Ballarat is among Victorian manufacturing centres that have participated in the State's recent boom in exports of manufactured goods. The region is also being recognised as a hub for IT research and development.
