The advisory committee plays an important part in guiding the identification, protection, conservation and promotion of the region’s heritage through advice and recommendations to Council.

It also enhances community awareness and advocacy, while identifying opportunities for funding, recognition and education.

The City is seeking EOIs from community members with diverse skills, experience and knowledge in heritage, museums, education or community advocacy to join the committee.

Successful members will be appointed for four years with an expectation to attend quarterly meetings.

EOIs are now open and will close on Sunday 30 August.

Councillor Rowan Story AM, RFD, Chair of the Geelong Heritage Advisory Committee 

As our region continues to grow and evolve, it’s important that we preserve the places, stories and traditions that make our community unique.

The Geelong Heritage Advisory Committee provides an opportunity for passionate and knowledgeable residents to help guide how we protect and celebrate our rich heritage for years to come.

Alternate Chair of the Geelong Heritage Advisory Committee, Councillor Chris Burson 

We know there are many people in our community with a passion for local history and heritage, and this is a fantastic opportunity to help shape how these stories are preserved and shared for future generations.

Serving on the committee is a rewarding way to make a lasting contribution to how we celebrate local heritage.
