Your day out in Ballarat’s west
Looking for things to do in Delacombe? Delacombe Town Centre, or DTC as locals call it, has grown into one of Ballarat’s busiest destinations. Since first opening in 2017, the centre has expanded in stages, and with the Delacombe Village precinct opening in September 2026, there’s now more to do than ever.
Whether you’re stocking up on groceries, catching a movie or meeting friends for a meal, DTC makes it easy to spend a few hours. Here’s our guide to making the most of it.
Shop, play and catch a movie
DTC covers almost everything on your to-do list in one trip.
- Groceries: Woolworths in the main centre, plus Coles and Aldi in the new Delacombe Village across Valiant Road.
- Everyday shopping: Kmart for homewares, clothing and toys, along with a range of specialty stores.
- Sport and outdoors: Rebel and BCF for gear, and Planet Fitness if you want to squeeze in a workout.
- Movies: Showbiz Cinemas has six screens with leather seating and laser projection, perfect for a family outing or date night.
- Treats and services: Delacombe Village adds a bakery, chemist, gelato, barbers and more.
Tip: plan your movie around a meal. A burger before the film or a shake after makes the night.
Restaurants in Delacombe: where to eat
All that shopping builds an appetite, and DTC has plenty of options, from cafes for a quick coffee to grab-and-go snacks.
But if you want a proper sit-down meal, our premium burger bar is the place to be. Flame-grilled beef, chicken and veggie burgers, crispy sides made for sharing and thick, creamy shakes, all made to order in a relaxed, welcoming space. It’s the perfect spot for a family dinner, a catch-up with mates or a well-earned break between shops. No bookings needed, just walk in.
