History
The first public meeting was held on 10 July 1980. The Mayor reported at the second meeting of the Committee that the Premier had asked him to join a Citizens' Committee in Melbourne to assist in organising Victoria's 150th Anniversary Celebrations. Since then Cr. Glover has been requested to form a Geelong Regional Committee. The aim of the celebrations was for all Victorians to participate in some form and that projects be organised of a permanent nature. The 150th Anniversary Celebrations were to be conducted from October 1984 to November 1985. The Geelong Regional Committee was divided into several specialist committees with a chairperson appointed for each. The date of the final meeting was 10 February 1986.
