What happened
The Mayor called for property redevelopment at Belchers Corner in Geelong. The property, located at the Ryrie and Moorabool streets intersection, represents a gap in the retail streetscape following a council-ordered demolition in 2019. Owners who put the site on the market in 2024 continue to receive inquiries from potential developers.
Why it matters
The push for redevelopment in Geelong aligns with Jacinta Allan's government efforts to drive economic development and infrastructure projects in the region. The transformation of the central site could materially change the urban infrastructure landscape of Geelong.
