Question Ballarat area - how good it is for observatory?

Well, as our "dream" property in Seymour turned into a nightmare... last month we sold it and closed this particular chapter of our lives.

Now we started to look into Ballarat and surrounding areas to buy a residence.. The town itself is of right size, and has well enough support for a pair of +65yo pensioners (gas, water... doctors, hospitals, graveyards....)

Does anybody have direct experience with the area ( some time ago I had some replies from Leon about Ballarat in general, but maybe the situation changed in the last 6 years)?
Are there any suitable (elevated) suburbs for building backyard observatory?
Are there any areas to avoid (floods, LP etc.)?
