The Barwon Regional Partnership has established a ‘Good Growth’ framework which outlines the long-term outcomes the Partnership is striving to achieve. The Good Growth framework is underpinned by four key principles:

  3. Embrace and embed our region's rich Aboriginal culture
  4. Create and maintain safe, vibrant, highly livable communities.
