“The assistance I received from Business Victoria was supportive and empowering. The resources felt tailored to a small business like mine – creative, fast-paced, and often run by one or two people doing it all. It didn’t feel overwhelming; instead, I felt seen and understood as a small business owner.”

Victoria may be in the slow lane, but regional Victoria is telling a different story.

What does that mean for Geelong businesses?

Chamber CEO Jeremy Crawford caught up with Bendigo Bank Chief Economist David Robertson for a quick snapshot of the economy, where Geelong is holding its own and what local businesses should be watching over the next few quarters.

From population and jobs growth to housing, infrastructure and the sectors showing resilience, there’s plenty happening beneath the headline numbers.

Watch the snapshot, then take the deeper dive into David’s full August Economic Update. ↓
