The Geelong Waterfront Master Plan 2025 was shaped and refined by feedback from community members from across the region, long-term residents, Wadawurrung Traditional Owners, visitors and other stakeholders in 2023 and 2025.

This master plan, outlining the future of the Geelong Waterfront was adopted by the City of Greater Geelong in December 2025, setting out a long-term framework for development, management and investment across the precinct. Guiding development, management and investment to enhance our waterfront as a recreational and tourism hub.

The focus, from Rippleside Park in the west through to Limeburners Point in the east, provides future direction and guidance for the waterfront based on community needs and expectations, climate and environment as well as innovative, long term management.

An implementation strategy is being prepared to guide delivery in stages, drawing on a mix of funding including new leases, partnerships and external grant opportunities. Priority projects are proposed to deliver tangible outcomes early while advancing longer-term ambitions.
