About Chapel Flat
Chapel Flat is a small rural locality on the eastern fringe of the City of Ballarat municipality in Victoria, approximately 10 kilometres from Ballarat's CBD. The locality covers around 5 square kilometres and recorded no permanent residents at the 2021 census, functioning primarily as a forested buffer on the urban edge. Situated at an elevation consistent with the Ballarat plateau, it falls within the Division of Ballarat federally and the Electoral District of Ripon at the state level.
The locality is dominated by the Creswick Plantation and portions of Creswick State Forest, making it a quiet retreat for bushwalkers and nature lovers on Ballarat's rural fringe. There are no commercial services or amenities within Chapel Flat itself, with residents of surrounding areas relying on nearby Ballarat for shopping, healthcare, and entertainment. The forest cover provides habitat for native wildlife and a green corridor between Ballarat and Creswick.
Chapel Flat falls under postcode 3352 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Wendouree (Western Victoria) electorate.
