GEELONG AND THE BELLARINE

Let’s meet in Geelong and The Bellarine and level-up your event game.

This region ticks off three key criteria on any event checklist – easy access, incredible infrastructure and beautiful natural assets. Bonus points for an epic food and beverage sector bursting with artisan options.

And it’s closer than you think – an hour’s road trip, train ride or ferry cruise from Melbourne CBD, and under 20 minutes from Avalon Airport.

From beach to bay, from urban to rural, it’s year-round fertile ground for team-building, thinking, productivity and learning.

Grand historical buildings and stunning modern architecture mingle like old friends, both in vibrant Geelong (a UNESCO Creative City of Design) and across the Bellarine Peninsula. A sparkling waterfront precinct, a library shaped like a geodome, industrial buildings reworked into commercial hubs or funky hospitality spaces, and grand old coastal hotels that have endured. The venue menu is incredible – stadium event spaces, brand new performing arts centre, waterfront hotel/function centre, on-the-pier event centre, wineries, gallery spaces, studios, executive meeting rooms and more than 1,500 accommodation rooms. There’s a perfect venue for your group size and needs, all managed by professionals who’ll support you in designing the best event ever.

Beyond the meeting room, you’ll find extraordinary activities, sights and attractions to inspire your group. Take a scenic chopper flight and arrive in style at an award-winning winery, just in time for lunch. Break-out with a state-of-the-art ferry cruise across the bay or swim with the dolphins.

Explore the Geelong waterfront or board a safari bus at Werribee Open Range Zoo.

Get active with surf lessons, scuba diving, segwaying, stand-up paddle boarding, cycling, golfing or charter boat fishing.

This region has everything you need to meet again and enjoy your best event ever.
