Other Community Services / Organisations
Ararat Rural City offers a dynamic and vibrant lifestyle for people of all ages.
Whether your interest is in embroidery, cycling, football, politics, swimming, art, the environment or anything in between, there is likely to be a group of like-minded people who will share your passion. Many community groups are based within our smaller, regional communities, offering new opportunities for social connection.
The rich fabric of our community is held together by a band of tireless volunteers working across a broad range of industry sectors. Their contribution makes an important difference to the quality of life our residents enjoy.
