At the March 2024 meeting, Council voted to adopt a new Advocacy Framework, which outlines the City’s approach to advocacy at a local, regional, state, national and international level over the next three years.
To ensure Geelong realises its full economic powerhouse potential and becomes Australia's premier regional city, collaboration among government, community, and industry is essential.
Amidst high population growth and a thriving economy, Greater Geelong is undergoing significant transformation.
As the fastest-growing regional city in Australia, the City bears a significant responsibility in advocating for the collective interests of our broader region.
This framework considers the City’s role in the broader ecosystem of advocacy in Geelong, the approach and principles for advocacy, how advocacy priorities will be determined and how performance and outcomes will be measured, over the next three years.
Ali Wastie, CEO, City of Greater Geelong
“The City is committed to advocating on behalf of its current and future communities.”
