The plan to kickstart the dead city centre of Geelong

Local leaders in Geelong urged the state government to establish a special economic zone to revitalize the underdeveloped city center. Committee for Geelong chief executive Michael Johnston stated that increasing housing density is essential for population growth, while crime and vacant storefronts deter residents. The city aims to accommodate 20,000 residents in the CBD but faces challenges in development costs.
