Mad Max
1979
“The early town scenes with Toecutter's gang were filmed in the main street of Clunes, north of Ballarat; much of the streetscape remains unchanged.” Wikipedia
Named here by Ballarat’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Ballarat, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

The Doctor Blake Mysteries 2013–2017
“The television series The Doctor Blake Mysteries (2012–2017) is set in Ballarat and was mostly shot there.” Wikipedia
