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.
