Northern Futures
In 2007, the current State and Federal MPS for Lara/Corio established Northern Futures to take the lead in planning and leveraging whole of government and community support to minimise the social and economic impact on the Northern Suburbs of Geelong.The initiative has committed to developing an Economic Independence and Social Inclusion Investment Plan for the Northern Suburbs.
Northern Futures is a collaborative partnership between members of the community including government, business, schools and community groups who are working together to identify opportunities for improved economy, jobs and education and training for the area.
It is one of many major initiatives (either planned or underway) that aim to deliver an integrated approach to the regeneration of the Northern Suburbs through development of human and physical capital.
Central to Northern Futures is a local approach to project delivery and services that will ensure a future of growth, prosperity and focus for the Northern Suburbs.
