Major Geelong landholding tipped for data centres and industrial giants
One of the largest future employment landholdings at Geelong’s western gateway has been listed for sale.
The 133-hectare site at 732 Fyansford–Gheringhap Road in Gheringhap spans three titles and presents a large-scale opportunity as demand for industrial land across Greater Geelong continues to grow.
Colliers senior sales executive Chris Nanni says the region’s rapid growth is driving sustained demand for new employment land, particularly in emerging corridors.
“Geelong is one of Australia’s fastest-growing regional cities, and that growth is driving sustained demand for new employment land,” he says.
“Gheringhap sits at a critical interface between Geelong and the major growth areas of Bannockburn and Batesford, making it a natural extension point for future development.”
Positioned on the inland side of Geelong, the site benefits from more than 1.6 kilometres of frontage to Fyansford-Gheringhap Road and over 1.1 kilometres to the Midland Highway, which is a key regional freight spine.
It is located about eight kilometres from the Geelong Ring Road, 14 kilometres from the Port of Geelong and 27 kilometres from Avalon Airport, making it a prime position for logistics, warehousing and large-scale employment uses.
Nanni says the site’s scale and surrounding infrastructure make it well-suited to a range of end users, including large industry, data centres, renewable energy groups, drive-through operators, automotive dealerships and large-format retail.
Colliers national director of retail middle markets Tim McIntosh says the Midland Highway frontage is a key differentiator as it opens the door to a range of commercial uses.
“As traffic volumes and employment activity increase through this corridor, there is clear potential for highway-oriented commercial and restricted retail uses, including large-format showrooms and service-based retail,” he says.
The property is also expected to appeal to land banking groups and institutional investors, given the limited supply of comparable sites across the region.
Colliers national director of industrial and logistics Nick Saunders says opportunities of this scale are becoming increasingly difficult to secure.
“Greater Geelong is experiencing a tightening supply of zoned industrial land, particularly for sites that offer genuine scale,” he says.
“This property stands out as a long-term industrial land banking opportunity, aligned with the Structure Plan and supported by freight connectivity essential for logistics, warehousing and service-industrial users.”
Currently used for farming, the property is supported by two short-term leases with flexible exit provisions, allowing investors to secure interim income while retaining long-term development flexibility.
The property is being offered for sale via an expressions-of-interest campaign closing April 9.
