Balancing the needs of the community & environment

The Vision aims to address Geelong’s most pressing issues and priorities as outlined in the Geelong Region Plan: A sustainable
growth strategy (reprinted 2015), including:

• creation of additional housing for a growing population

• refocusing the economy from traditional manufacturing to a centre of innovation
• protecting and enhancing the environment.

Sustainable & affordable housing

Estimated future population growth in the Geelong region will require
an additional 57 000 new dwellings to house an extra 130 000 people by
2050 (City of Greater Geelong, reprinted 2015).

A connected, healthy community

The vision is for a healthy and connected community that is serviced appropriately and made
attractive for residents and workers. Health benefits will come from the abundance of green open
space and proximity to the beachfront and wetlands; the use of green, energy saving technologies in
homes; and the proximity of home to workplaces in the CBD, surrounding industrial parks and Centre
for Industry and Commercialisation.

Infrastructure planning will include transport, utilities, community and environment. Public transport
will be greatly improved in line with the G21 Region Public Transport Strategy that aims to develop a
‘go anywhere’ public transport network for urban Geelong by reshaping and simplifying the current
network (City of Geelong 2014).

There is a zone that includes local shops, an aged care facility and healthcare centre designed
to service an estimated local population of 8 190. This centrally located zone sits between the two
main housing areas and runs along Point Henry Road and includes a large supermarket chain, bus
interchange, community and maternal health centre and various government services as required.
