Wurriki Nyal Civic Precinct

GEELONG'S CIVIC PRECINCT

The Wurriki Nyal' Civic Precinct for the City of Greater Geelong (CoGG) provides a purpose-built Council Hub and Civic Space, supporting community wellbeing, growth, and sustainable development for this designated UNESCO City of Design.

Overlooking Geelong's iconic Johnstone Park and fronting three converging streetscapes, the precinct masterplan comprises a collection of multi-scaled buildings arranged to form an inviting campus that maximises access to natural light, key views, existing pedestrian routes, and is responsive to its neighbouring built context - both heritage and modern.

The name Wurriki Nyal (WUU-ruh-kih nee-YAHL) comes from Wadawurrung words meaning "speak and talk together", and was decided through close engagement with Wadawurrung Traditional Owners.

The Civic Precinct opened to the public on 5 September 2022.
