The best place to live.

Welcome to the Geelong region, the best place to live.

The Geelong region is recognised for its ideal lifestyle. The rule of thumb is that you’re only ever 20 minutes from anywhere else. Finish your working day in Geelong and you can be at a world famous surf beach within 20 minutes. Wake up in a beautiful rural township and you can be at your desk in just 20 minutes.

The Geelong region is compact enough that travelling is easy. But large enough that you have everything you need to live the life you desire. Fabulous schools, great housing options and fulfilling careers are all within reach.

If that sounds like your kind of life why not consider the move? Explore this website for more information on housing, jobs, education, and community facilities and find out why Geelong really is the best place to live.
