Local Government Community Satisfaction Survey 2008
This survey is a project jointly sponsored by the Department of Planning and Community Development and local governments. The state-wide survey commenced in 1998 and is conducted by an independent research company in February-March each year. 350 telephone interviews were conducted with residents regarding twelve service areas and overall performance.
While participation is optional, CoGG has participated since the inception of the survey 11 years ago. Community satisfaction ratings form part of the Victorian Local Government Indicators that are reported by councils in their annual reports and are published annually in the Local Government in Victoria report.
The results of the 2008 survey from the research company are attached:

Central Geelong Draft Urban Design Guidelines - April 2008
Comments are invited on the draft Guidelines. Sumbission should be received by 30 May 2008.
The Urban Design Guidelines direct the future form and height of buildings within Central Geelong. They guide the location and appearance of development, facilitating buildings that are more sustainable and improve the pedestrian environment. They encourage and guide future growth, in a way that respects and enhances Geelong's unique character and natural assets.
- The draft guidelines aim to provide an appropriate balance between encouraging growth whilst protecting the essential qualities of Central Geelong. While new design guidelines can generate significant debate, there is value in directing growth that delivers an attractive and welcoming city while improving services, investment and jobs that make Geelong a prosperous city.
- By guiding and encouraging growth, the guidelines will further enhance Geelong as a place to invest, work, visit and live. Demand for businesses and residential development has been accommodated within the guidelines, as has the identified targets for residents, workers, visitors, overnight stays and use of the Geelong Train Station.
- Change to our urban environment needs to be managed, and the guidelines inform developers what is important to Geelong's identity and how they can positively contribute to the city. By clearly identifying expectations, it is intended that a streamlined decision making process will assist individual development proposals.
