Progress on the future of Geelong’s Market Square after productive conversations.
A meeting has been held to discuss the site’s crucial role in revitalising Geelong’s CBD.
Geelong Mayor Stretch Kontelj and City CEO Ali Wastie have met with Market Square’s owner, Phil Wong from Davinski Nominees, along with Lurline Lett from property manager Knight Frank.
“When I ran to be mayor, I flagged central Geelong’s revitalisation as a key issue of mine, which is why I’m getting on with getting all the stakeholders together so we can move on this,” Mayor Kontelj said.
Corio MP and Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles also attended.
The meeting focused on the important role Geelong plays in the state, and the role Market Square plays in an ideal thriving CBD.
“Redeveloping the iconic Market Square precinct is an essential element to revitalising the CBD in Geelong,” Mr Marles said.
“I’m very pleased that both parties are committed to developing the site, which will further enhance our beautiful city.”
A good sign for further process, the next meeting already planned.
