Greater Geelong is a highly competitive investment location on the national and global stage.
With a Gross Regional Product (GRP) of $17.6 billion, 135,472 local jobs and 21,785 businesses, we’ve embraced a diversified economy and forged new credentials in knowledge-based and creative industries, adding to an already strong economic base in health, education and $1.1 billion visitor economy.
Our location advantage, strategic assets and design-thinking are driving major investment and our economic growth is surpassing the state in terms of population, jobs and GRP.
Just one hour to Melbourne and its five million customers and with easy access to Geelong Port and Avalon Airport, investors will benefit from the region’s capacity to move people and goods via road, rail, sea and air supporting strong and competitive links to state, national and international markets and supply chains.

Jake and Jess Munday founded Custom Neon from their home in Geelong West in 2018 because they couldn’t find a cool, affordable or safe LED neon sign for their baby son’s room.
Today, Custom Neon is on track to become a $15 million business. Its custom-made neon signs are designed and manufactured from the company’s headquarters in north Geelong’s industrial-inspired creative business precinct, as well as their factory in Shanghai, and sold all over the world.
The local power couple has had some big highlights along the way, which have included working with some major global brands, Paris Hilton sliding into their direct messages, and creating a sign for Elon Musk!
