Description

The Future of Central Geelong series of virtual briefings aim to dive deeper into the issues, challenges and opportunities facing central Geelong in a COVID normal world. Kicking off in May, the series is due to run through to June on a range of topics where experts in their field will share their ideas and plans on how to best design central Geelong’s future.

This series has strategic links to the:
