Central Highlands Water at Ballarat Begonia Festival

Access info

Central Highlands Water (CHW) will again proud to partner with the City of Ballarat as the ongoing community partner of the 2025 Ballarat Begonia Festival.

As part of this year’s festival, Central Highlands Water shared information about Smart, Safe and Sustainable delivery of the region’s water that reaches over 160,000 members of our community every day.

Community members will be able to see the display showcasing the ongoing investment across the region, as part of the Water Efficiency Program, by viewing Mrs. Jones house display and junior activity space.

The site will showcase the popular ‘Water and Native Animal’ art display painted by local kindergartens and primary schools. The canvas paintings formed part of an education competition with entrants invited to paint their best interpretation of a selected native animal, with water, on a canvas print. The aim is to promote awareness of native animals across our region and educate everyone, on the role they play in the ecosystem and how water is essential for all forms of life.

The Choose Tap reusable stainless-steel drink bottles, including the new begonia bottle and First Nations Ballarat Miners bottle, which will be available for purchase with 100% of proceeds from sales donated to local community partner, Cafs.
