August Update - Rainbow action plan endorsed by Council

1 September 2025

Rainbow action plan endorsed by Council. Our Rainbow Action Plan (2025-29) was adopted at Council on 26 August 2025. The plan sets out steps the City will take to create a safe, fair and inclusive environment for the LGBTQIA+ community and employees. It aims to address discrimination, inequality, safety and wellbeing and promote inclusion and visibility.

Over the next four years, we will continue to engage with community as the plan is delivered. Achievements will be joint, as we work with the community, residents, businesses and community organisations. The achievements we aim to make together will foster genuine inclusion and support meaningful change for our LGBTQIA+ community.

The City of Greater Geelong acknowledges the significant effort and enthusiasm of the community and allies who contributed to the development of this Action Plan. We appreciate the ideas and practical solutions that members of the Greater Geelong community contributed.
