Ballan will feature in an upcoming TV commercial, just in time for Christmas, with a film crew out last week organising the shoot at Inglis Street and Cowie Street.

If you were out and about in Ballan last Wednesday (31 August), you might have noticed the camera crew out filming at the post office and Bowling Club – as it turns out, they were filming for an Australia Post ad planned for release before the end of the year.

Corrina Brazel is Head of Consumer Marketing as Australia Post, and while she couldn’t give specifics on what the ad will entail just yet, she said she was excited for Ballan to feature on the small screen.

“The Ballan Post Office we think is absolutely gorgeous, very quaint, and just gives the right feeling we think for this particular TV ad,” Ms Brazel told the Moorabool News.

“It also has that community feel, which is something we always look for when we’re choosing a filming location. We noticed on-set that it is very much a part of the community, based on the amount of people who were stopping to have a yarn with the owners, and tooting their horns as they drove past.”

The ad is expected to first go to air on 6 November.
