Seat Background

Ballarat was first proclaimed in 1901 and is named after its principal city which was the first inland city established in Victoria. The name apparently derives from the Aboriginal word "balaarat" meaning resting place. Its first member was Alfred Deakin, Australia's second Prime Minister and one of the founders of the original Liberal Party.
