Greater Geelong Mayor Stretch Kontelj OAM

It’s important to have face-to-face conversations to discuss matters big and small that help shape our vision for Geelong’s future.

Greater Geelong is a creative and diverse City and our community has many great ideas about how we can make it even better.

These visits are about listening and learning – we’d love to see the community there even if you just want to pop in and say hello.

Cheetham Ward Councillor Melissa Cadwell

We need to listen to the community’s ideas and concerns to make sure we’re representing the interests of everyday hardworking residents.

Improving our City is about everyone having a voice and working together to find solutions and good outcomes.
