Organisational Background 4 4. Strategic Plan 6 1 GEELONG GALLERY STRATEGIC PLAN 2020 – 2023 Endorsed by Geelong Gallery Board 21 September 2020 1. OUR PURPOSE Geelong Gallery’s purpose is to provide an experience of art that will enrich people’s lives. PILLARS Geelong Gallery’s purpose is underpinned by four pillars: 1. Geelong Gallery will deliver artistic and cultural advancement for the community thus making Geelong a more liveable City; 2. Geelong Gallery will bring economic benefit to the region through tourism arising from its exhibitions and events; 3. Geelong Gallery will connect and empower people by promoting equity, diversity, inclusion, access and lifelong learning; 4. Geelong Gallery will expand its premises to provide greater access to its collections and exhibitions, in order to significantly enhance the delivery of its aims in the first, second and third pillars. 2. INTRODUCTION This document summarises the strategic direction of Geelong Gallery for the period 2020–2023. This Plan is endorsed by the Geelong Gallery Board and supported by six key sub-committees of the Board focussed on the Governance and guidance of Gallery operations. The plan is implemented by Senior Management via detailed annual business plans. While many Gallery activities delivered are quantifiable, the primary outcomes of the Gallery’s core business — across exhibitions, learning and public programs, and visitor experience — are qualitative: beyond conventional accounting and measurement, and reliant on peer, popular and critical response in the short and long term, and on the cumulative effects of learning, engagement and self-determination.

City of Greater Geelong Bill EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM PART I-PRELIMINARY Clause 1 states the purposes of the Act, which are to restructure certain councils in the Geelong region, constitute the City of Greater Geelong and abolish the Geelong Regional Commission. The Greater Geelong City Council will replace six existing councils and its municipal district will incorporate part of the district of the Shire of Bannockbum and part of the district of the Barrabool Shire Council. The Councils which will be replaced by the Greater Geelong City Council are Bellarine Rural City Council, City of Geelong, City of Geelong West, City of Newtown, City of South Barwon and Shire of Corio. Clause 2 states that with the exception of section 24, the Act comes into operation on the day it receives Royal Assent. Clause 3 contains definitions of terms used in the Act. Most of the new arrangements are to take effect on the "appointed day" which is defined to be the day on which the Bill receives Royal Assent. Clause 4 states that the Act must be construed as one with the Local Government Act 1989 but that in the case of any inconsistency this Act prevails. PART 2-CITY OF GREATER GEELONG Clause 5 provides for the constitution of a City Council by the name of the Greater Geelong City Council, for the councils to be replaced to go out of existence and for Commissioners to administer the new Council as if they were the elected Councillors of the Council.

    Order Code RL33010 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Australia: Background and U.S. Relations Updated April 20, 2006 Bruce Vaughn Analyst in Southeast and South Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Australia: Background and U.S. Interests Summary The Commonwealth of Australia and the United States are close allies under the ANZUS treaty. Australia evoked the treaty to offer assistance to the United States after the attacks of September 11, 2001, in which 22 Australians were among the dead. Australia was one of the first countries to commit troops to U.S. military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. In October 2002, a terrorist attack on Western tourists in Bali, Indonesia, killed more than 200, including 88 Australians and seven Americans. A second terrorist bombing, which killed 23, including four Australians, was carried out in Bali in October 2005. The Australian Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia, was also bombed by members of Jemaah Islamiya (JI) in September 2004. The Howard Government’s strong commitment to the United States in Afghanistan and Iraq and the recently negotiated bilateral Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between Australia and the United States have strengthened what were already close ties between the two long-term allies. Despite the strong strategic ties between the United States and Australia, there have been some signs that the growing economic importance of China to Australia may influence Australia’s external posture on issues such as Taiwan. Australia plays a key role in promoting regional stability in Southeast Asia and the Southwest Pacific.
