Vision 2 - Geelong

Vision 2 developed and tested a collaborative model with a diverse level of stakeholders towards redefining and revitilizing central Geelong. The project was a formal (MoU) collaboration between the City of Greater Geelong (CoGG), Deakin University, Committee for Geelong (CFG) and the Department of Planning and Community Development (DPCD), to develop the new vision. A series of modules and outputs were explored and investigated to facilitate the substantial cross-discipline engagement across the different levels of stakeholders. Deakin University staff were in positions of director and leadership roles to organize and facilitate aspects of the project. The project was commissioned by Committee for Geelong and funded by Department of Planning and Community Development. Complementing the Design Studio Report for Vision 2, a project that looked at the revitalization of central Geelong, was the production of a video published to the public. Available on YouTube, the video highlighted key aspects of the projects, including the 6 catalysts that resulted from an extensive amount of engagement activities, including community, professional and stakeholder engagement.
