Victoria's Regional Centres - a generation of change

This series of reports utilises data from DPCD’s Towns in Time and Suburbs in Time databases to examine demographic trends in Victoria's three largest regional centres – Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo – over the period 1981 to 2006.

The Overview Report explores several aspects of change in Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo, focusing on demographics, dwellings, labour force and education, and concludes with an examination of prospects and challenges for the future. The supplementary Regional Centre Reports focus on aspects of suburban change in each of the three cities.
