Bees are an important part of our environment.

We manage a number of coastal reserves.

Our Environment Strategy 2020-2030 and Environment Strategy Action Plan 2020-2022 detail our environmental sustainability goals and how we will act to protect our region's environment and reduce our environmental footprint. 

The community directory has an Environment and Sustainability category.

We control pest plants and animals, and reduce the effects of soil erosion, salinity and acid sulphate soils on our environment and conservation reserves.

Native grasslands include local indigenous grass species, as well as mosses, lichens, fungi, native lilies, orchids, daisies and other plants.

We manage a wide variety of nature reserves, covering over 1,400 hectares, that provide habitat for a diversity of native plants, animals and other wildlife.

You are unable to ride your horse or pony in any of the City of Greater Geelong managed beaches or nature reserves.

The small town of Breamlea is host to spectacular coastline and home to some of Victoria’s most endangered plants and animals.

We are responsible for removing any pest infestations on public land we manage.

We are lucky to have access to some of Victoria’s most beautiful beaches at Barwon Heads, Ocean Grove and Breamlea.

Sometimes rats and mice can cause concern for residents.

Be alert, but not alarmed - swooping season is here.
