The City of Greater Bendigo’s vision is to be the world’s most liveable community.
Greater Bendigo is a vibrant, creative and culturally-enriched major regional centre. It covers almost 3,000 square kilometres, and is home to approximately 112,000 people across the urban area and various small towns and villages.
Greater Bendigo’s population is growing and diversifying because it is able to provide residents with an affordable lifestyle that places them within easy reach of world-class health care, an excellent variety of education providers, a wide range of employment opportunities and a great choice of recreation facilities. Our population is expected to reach 200,000 by 2050.
Our many attributes include award-winning restaurants and cafes, a celebrated arts scene, a range of festivals and major events, and beautiful heritage and natural surrounds.
This makes Greater Bendigo a service centre for surrounding municipalities, much of northern Victoria and parts of southern New South Wales.
The City wants Greater Bendigo to be a place of excellence for all citizens. Our population is becoming increasingly culturally, religiously and ethnically diverse. We strive to be an inclusive community that is accessible for all.
The City is a proactive and dynamic employer, delivering more than 100 services and working with our community to be Australia’s most liveable regional city. The City is an equal opportunity employer and encourages applications from people with diverse cultural backgrounds, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and people of all abilities.
