Supporting infrastructure, retail and education projects are being progressively approved to accommodate population growth along the Princes Highway corridor in Greater Geelong.

Not heritage listed

Waurn Ponds is a suburban locality in the Geelong region with limited formal heritage listings. The area developed primarily as a 20th-century residential suburb and lacks the heritage conservation overlays typical of inner-city suburbs or established town centres. Any heritage significance is mainly associated with the broader pastoral landscape and natural waterway corridors rather than individual built heritage items.
