Town Planning

Statutory Planning helps decide the best spots to put structures and businesses so everyone has space to enjoy, play, and live comfortably.

Building services looks at where people want to put new buildings, like houses, sheds, fences or stores, and check if the buildings will be safe and in the right spot.

Strategic planning imagines what Geelong could look like in the future. They think about what will make it a good place to live as it grows; where homes, parks, and roads should go so people have space and everything they need.
