We can repair and fit out the shops and heritage buildings on Brooke Street, and maintain Smythesdale’s shire customer hub, school, police and community buildings. There is industrial and highway commercial land here too.
Smythesdale is a Golden Plains service town, with a shire customer hub, a heritage main street and industrial land on Junipers Road.
The shopping zone along Brooke Street covers 7.1 hectares and 46 addresses. In 2021 it held a historic pub, a small supermarket, a pharmacy, a doctors’ clinic, cafes, a post office, a vet and other shops, many in heritage buildings. Heritage-listed places like the Court House Hotel have paint controls, so repairs need to match.
Golden Plains Shire’s Smythesdale customer hub at The Well on Heales Street also houses a pharmacy, the historical society and the maternal and child health clinic. The police station, fire station, hall, recreation reserve and the Woady Yaloak Primary School campus are here too, and the 1860 court house is on the Victorian Heritage Register.
About 21.6 hectares is zoned for industry on Junipers Road, and 9.3 hectares of commercial land sits along the Glenelg Highway. The regional landfill run by the City of Ballarat is also in Smythesdale. Industrial buildings need offices, partitions and repairs, and most of the locality is under the Bushfire Management Overlay.

Beyond our expectations, and it was great to work with people who could turn our ideas into something better than we imagined. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
Prompt, great communication and a terrific job. Have used JF Maintenance for lots of work over the years and would recommend.
Michael worked with our budget and we were so impressed by their diligence and workmanship. They did not cut corners but went the extra mile. So impressed we engaged them again at another property.
Gold was found at Smythesdale in 1853, and by 1861 it had a court house and its own borough council. Its heyday was the 1860s and 1870s, and the 1860 court house on Brooke Street survives from then.
A shire hub, a heritage main street and industrial land are why the commercial work here mixes careful repair with practical fit-outs.
