About the G21 Geelong Region Alliance

G21 is the formal alliance of government, business and community organisations, working together to improve people's lives in the Geelong Region. It is a not for profit organisation, funded by the five regional councils - Colac Otway, Surf Coast, Golden Plains, Greater Geelong and Queenscliffe. Since its creation in 2002, G21 has stimulated major regional projects and development plans through unprecedented levels of community engagement.

The G21 Geelong Region Plan was launched by Premier Brumby in late 2007. Nearly 1000 people and organisations from across the region were involved in its development. The Plan identifies and addresses the future challenges the region will face in the areas of environment, settlement and land use, community strength, and economic transition. Designed to focus the energy of the Geelong region, the Plan has been endorsed by all regional stakeholders and is recognised and supported by all levels of government.

An award winning model of regional community capacity building, G21 provides:

  • A forum to discuss “big picture” regional issues across interest groups
    and municipalities, resulting in better coordinated research, consultation and planning.
  • Delivery of projects that benefit the region and cross municipal borders.
  • A platform for the region to speak with one voice to all levels of government.
