“Armstrong Creek is expected to accommodate the bulk of growth in the Geelong region,
which has attracted Melburnians and Victorians as flexible working arrangements become
more accepted and offers relative housing affordability, while the ongoing enhancement of
rail and road network, new lifestyle amenity and major developments in the Geelong city
centre have also played major roles,” he said.
The region has attracted investment from national, listed and private groups, and continues to be a focus at both state and local government levels, he said.
