Film website

The Moorabool Shire has joined a cluster of regional Councils to pool information and resources to further attract the film and television industry to the region. The film attraction website Film Ballarat Hepburn and Beyond website, www.filmballarathepburnandbeyond.com.au has been developed through funds provided by the State Government and Film Victoria and will play a pivotal role in further developing the film and television industry within the region.

The Moorabool Shire has had two major film production shoots recently. Charlotte’s Web filmed in Greendale, staring Dakota Fanning and the voices of Julia Roberts, Oprah Winfrey, Steve Buscemi amd John Cleese. Parts of Ghost Rider were filmed in Bacchus Marsh starring Hollywood’s Nicholas Cage.

The website provides key information in relation to the region’s locations , towns and villages , facilities and services, weather patterns , news and events, policies, incentives and contact information .

A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has been signed between the partner organisations to work collaboratively together for regional promotion, marketing, economic, social and cultural benefit. The website builds upon the Moorabool Shire Council Film Policy (2006).
