What Is It Like To Live In Geelong?

We're inviting Greater Geelong residents to share what life here is really like by taking part in our Community Views Survey.

This short, anonymous survey is now live and will provide valuable insights into the connection between people and place.

We'll learn what's working well, what could be improved, and what makes our region special for those who call it home.

The survey uses 16 liveability measures – from safety and housing to wellbeing and environment – to gather qualitative, sentiment-based responses.

This information will complement the robust data we already use for strategic planning and service delivery.

Data tells us a lot, but lived experience tells us even more. This survey is more than ticking boxes. We're asking open-ended questions and encouraging explanation and elaboration.

By sharing your perspective, you're helping us see our city through your eyes.

We've partnered with leading demographic and economic consultancy Informed Decisions (.id) to deliver the survey. They're also running targeted social media posts to capture a cross-section of responses.

Greater Geelong residents can access the survey via our Have Your Say page or this direct link .

All participants who provide an email address will go into the draw to win one of five $100 Eftpos vouchers.

The survey closes mid October 2025.
