'On behalf of the Bisinella family, our staff, partners and suppliers, congratulations to the Geelong Advertiser on 185 years of service.

From our humble beginnings 60 years ago, Bisinella Developments has grown into a national award winning residential and industrial development business, driving investment, generating jobs and creating communities across the Greater Geelong region.

Like the Addy, we have proudly watched as Greater Geelong has emerged as one of Australia’s fastest growing regions, and a strategic centre of industries that are critical for our future prosperity, such as agri-business, advanced manufacturing, health and education.

The key to this growth has been partnerships, and we are proud to have worked with the Addy, the City of Greater Geelong and the business community on important economic and community campaigns to lock in Government support and attract investment.

The 185-year milestone is an opportunity to reflect on the Addy’s proud advocacy for what makes Geelong a great place to live, work, visit and invest.

 At a time of economic and social uncertainty, our great city is fortunate to have a powerful voice that proudly puts Geelong first.'
