Our bold directions

G21 proudly brings together clever, creative and innovative people, businesses and institutions to drive our region in bold new directions.

The Geelong region has much to look forward to from the hard-won $355 million local-state-federal government City Deal for Geelong and the Great Ocean Road.

The economic stimulus from an investment of this magnitude in driving the local economy and jobs is immense.

The long-awaited Geelong Convention Centre to tap into the nation’s $17 billion meetings industry, the continued rejuvenation of central Geelong and upgrades to tourism and cultural precincts are all beneficiaries.

G21’s board will be in Canberra in October seeking assurances that City Deal funding will soon flow. It will also advocate for other significant projects for our region.

G21 brings together the strength of five municipalities, many businesses and other bodies to work for region-wide economic progress, responsible growth, a healthy environment and a relaxed family-focused lifestyle.
