We're coming to your neighbourhood. If you see us, pop over and say hello!

We want our city to be a beautiful, liveable, caring, and inviting place for everyone, so we're hitting the road and visiting Geelong neighbourhoods to discuss a range of projects with you. Your feedback is an important part of our planning for the future.

We know that everyone is busy, so to have regular and meaningful conversations on topics that matter to you, we will come to the places you live, work and play.

Our city continues to grow at a rapid rate, so we need to plan for challenges that come with increased urbanisation, such as climate change, technological advances, transport and parking.

We’re keen to listen, so let’s work together to create the Geelong of the future.

We encourage you to follow the project to receive regular updates as we update times and locations.


Community Engagement Survey

In the meantime, we want to find out how well we are engaging with our community by asking you a few, short questions.

Your feedback will help us improve the way we seek feedback and have conversations with you, your friends, family members and neighbours.

This survey should only take 1-2 minutes to complete.

We're listening
