Advocacy

To ensure Geelong realises its full economic powerhouse potential and becomes Australia's premier regional city, collaboration among government, community, and industry is essential.

As the fastest-growing regional city in Australia, the City must advocate for the collective interests of our broader region including the continuous expansion and improvement of infrastructure and services.

 

Advocacy Framework 2024-2027

Our framework helps us strategically advance our region’s interests. It includes our main priorities, and the actions needed to achieve our goals, based on our existing strategies and community vision.
