Ballarat Property Transfers

15/04/2026

The central Victorian town of Ballarat has been named the 16th happiest place in the world by the 2026 Happy City Index.

The town, which is about 110 kilometres north-west of Melbourne, was ranked higher than Paris, Seoul, Singapore, and Amsterdam.

The Happy City Index assessed a total of 3,400 cities worldwide based on criteria including the quality of life, sustainability and long-term development strategies of a city.

The list was collated by urban consultancy firms the Paris-based Institute for Quality of Life and the London-based Happy City Hub.

This year, 251 cities have been narrowed down and featured on their list with Copenhagen snatching the number one spot.

The regional New South Wales town of Maitland managed to get the 34th spot, while Melbourne was given the 108th title.

Other Australian cities named on the list are Adelaide (71st), Geelong (133rd), Hobart (132nd), and Rockhampton (168th).

🎉 25 Years of Foundation Legal & Ballarat Property Transfers! 🎉

On 2 October 2000, we opened business as "Paul O'Beirne Commercial Law" — a couple of name changes along the way, but here we are, 25 years later!

Over that time we’ve had the privilege of helping so many local families, businesses, and community members with their legal and property transfer needs. It’s been an incredible journey, and none of it would have been possible without:
💙 Our amazing clients
💙 The Ballarat community
💙 The team and colleagues who have worked alongside us
💙 Our loving families

A huge thank you to everyone who has been part of the story so far. Here’s to the next chapter!

A small bit of good news for home buyers from today's State Budget. The stamp duty exemption for eligible pensioners will, for contracts signed from 1 July 2023, be available for properties valued up to $600,000. The previous limit was $330,000.

A partial concession will also be available for properties valued between $600,000 and $750,000.

Call or message us if you would like more details on how the scheme works.
