As the highly anticipated Plan Victoria is set to launch in early February, this exclusive event in Geelong offers you the first chance to hear experts decode its vision, chapter by chapter. Discover what the Plan means for Geelong today and in the decades to come.
Start 2025 with actionable insights into Geelong’s growth potential, as outlined by the Victorian Government. Gain a competitive edge by understanding where and how you can make the greatest impact on its transformation into Melbourne’s sister-city.
Jessica Christiansen-Franks, Co-founder and CEO of Neighbourlytics, will kick off the event with an eye-opening keynote on Geelong’s demographic trends and what they signal for the city’s future. Niall Ashleigh, Director of Institutional Office Valuations & Advisory at Urbis, will follow with a sector-by-sector analysis of commercial, residential, tourism, and industrial opportunities, with strategies to capitalise on them.
The discussion will shift to the practical implications of Plan Victoria for Central Geelong, exploring what’s needed to make residential and commercial developments more feasible. Ali Wastie, CEO of the City of Greater Geelong, will outline the vision for activating and developing the convention centre precinct, including how surrounding urban spaces will play a vital role in driving success.
Finally, an expert panel featuring Giulia Baggio, Diana Taylor, Michael Johnston, and Brett Winter, moderated by Nat Anson, will look at how Plan Victoria’s ambitious target of 255,000 new homes by 2051 will reshape Geelong. They’ll unpack the Plan’s impact on housing, jobs, transport, tourism, and connectivity, offering invaluable insights for businesses, developers, and investors looking to drive Geelong’s prosperity.
