Planning Framework Shaping Geelong’s Future Between 2004 and 2008 the City operated under a planning framework of nine pillars and two themes. This served us well but the changing economic, social and environmental landscape of our region has created new opportunities and challenges for our community. Based on research and consultation, Councillors and the Management Team have adopted three strategic directions which represent the key strengths required by our City to continue to prosper into the future. These strategic directions are Community Wellbeing, Growing the Economy, and Sustainable Built and Natural Environment. We have identified 11 key outcomes to assist us to achieve our strategic directions. A series of measures have been developed to assess our progress. Each year we will review these outcomes and measures, giving us the flexibility to respond to the ever changing needs of our community. The outcomes for our community are: 10 City Plan 2009-2013 | City of Greater Geelong Back to table of contents
Planning Framework Future plans for the Geelong region take into account the economic, social and environmental needs of the municipality. Community Wellbeing Objective: To improve the health and quality of life of all residents of Greater Geelong Outcomes: Improved healthy eating and physical activity: Physical health is critical to the wellbeing of the individual and community - enabling full participation in life and minimising avoidable treatment costs. A balanced diet and regular physical activity are essential for good health. Growing the Economy Objective: Securing Geelong’s Economic Future Increased lifelong learning and literacy: Supporting learning at all stages of life by offering a wide variety of experiences and resources enabling school readiness through early years, interaction and knowledge building and improved participation in the workforce and community. Liveable neighbourhoods: Creating places with easy access to local amenities such as shops, parks and reserves and community facilities, which encourage destination walking, a community focus and provide opportunities to reduce isolation. Outcomes: Plan and Develop the National Transport and Logistics Precinct: We will facilitate the National Transport and Logistics Precinct which is focused on strengthening our key existing assets such as Avalon Airport, the Port of Geelong, the Ring Road and Heales Road Industrial Estate. We will encourage new assets that compliment the existing assets, such as the proposed Intermodal at Lara. Development of the Cosmopolitan Heart: The development of Geelong’s cosmopolitan heart will be driven through key projects that embrace our natural and built assets. Managed Growth: Geelong will continue to position itself as the best place to live by fostering job creation, sustainable development practices and improved community wellbeing.
