Calling community members!

We're inviting Greater Geelong residents to join a new community group that will help shape how the City applies Special Rate and Charge (SRC) schemes.

SRC schemes are a collaborative funding approach where the costs of infrastructure upgrades are shared between the City and the property owners who directly benefit. This model enables faster delivery of local improvements such as sealing roads, building footpaths, constructing kerbs and channels, and installing stormwater drains - enhancing local areas sooner than through standard council funding alone.

If this is something you would be keen to be part of, please

  • Read the Terms of Reference here.
  • Complete and submit the Expression of Interest application form below (you will be provided with an application receipt once you have submitted the Expression of Interest form).

The City will undertake a short-listing process, and applicants may be invited to attend a short online interview. We will contact all applicants once the recruitment process is finalised to confirm the outcome of their application.

If you have any questions in relation to the Expression of Interest process, you can get in touch using the contact details under 'Who's Listening'.

Applications are open to community members aged 18 plus who reside within the City of Greater Geelong municipality.

Get involved and help guide this important process!
