Committee For GeelongCommittee For GeelongCommittee For Geelong

The Committee for Geelong is the region's leading non-political strategy group.  Our members are a network of leaders from key organisations in the local community and business sectors who are committed to developing Geelong's social, economic, cultural and environmental quality of life.

We identify the issues that matter to our shared future. We raise awareness and stimulate debate, we advocate, inform and influence the governments of the day at all levels. The Committee for Geelong holds firm on its strategic direction to act as a catalyst to create community prosperity for the citizens of the Geelong region.

Geelong is the largest regional city in Victoria, situated 75 km southwest of the State capital Melbourne. The city and its surrounding region offer a mix of employment and investment opportunities together with a level of competitive advantage for industry that is unmatched.

The region is known for its excellence in automotive, aerospace, textiles, chemicals, food and timber products, education, health, research and tourism. Lifestyle attractions include outstanding sporting amenities, arts and cultural precincts, spectacular coastlines and bushlands and a variety of attractive housing options.

Geelong has a proud history as one of Australia's most significant economic centres and a proven record of adapting to change which is standing it in good stead in this fast paced century.  With a business base of over 10,000 enterprises, it is Australia's premier second tier city.

The Committee for Geelong proudly represents Geelong and its region.
