Located in Western Australia, the City of Greater Geraldton is a mid-sized local government authority that governs the coastal city of Greater Geraldton and nearby communities, including Mullewa and Greenough. It sits roughly 424 kilometres north of Perth and serves a population of more than 41,000. The council operates within the government administration sector and supports an economy across mining, fishing, manufacturing, construction, retail, and tourism. Its coastline features a foreshore and cultural sites such as the Point Moore lighthouse and the HMAS Sydney Memorial, with the Houtman Abrolhos Islands located about 60 kilometres offshore. As a regional capital of the Mid West, the City of Greater Geraldton functions as a hub for residents, businesses and visitors while balancing coastal living with diverse industry activity. In recent developments, it was named a finalist in the 2026 7NEWS Top Tourism Town Awards. It has also engaged in partnerships to support safety and infrastructure, including collaboration with the Geraldton Surf Life Saving Club to keep emergency access clear at Back Beach and recognition for public engineering work such as the Nangetty-Walkaway bridge.
