Library of the future By Ash Bolt The City of Greater Geelong has released its concept design for a new $18.5 million library and community centre in the fast-growing Armstrong Creek area. The city last week released the concept deigns for the Armstrong Creek Town Centre Library and Community Hub, created by architecture firm Buchan. The triple-storey, ultra-modern library will be located at the Armstrong Creek Town Centre and will be the first civic and social infrastructure project for the area, which is expected to cater to a community of up to 65,000 people. “The Armstrong Creek Library and Community Hub concept design reflects the community’s vision of a state-of-the-art, environmentally sensitive, technologically enabled, library and community space, that caters to the diverse needs of the growing local community while celebrating Wadawurrung culture,” greater Geelong mayor Stephanie Asher said. “As the first social civic infrastructure in the suburb, the library and community hub will be incredibly important for Armstrong Creek residents as a place for lifelong learning, social connection and building a sense of community.” The 2500 square-metre library will feature a collection of 40,000 books and resources, flexible spaces for children’s learning, youth programs and dedicated multi-purpose meeting spaces on level one, with creative spaces and bookable co-working amenities on level two. The ground floor will serve as the civic interface with direct access to the external terraces and the town centre. Buchan worked with the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation and the city to deliver a design that embraced the area’s Wadawurrung living cultural heritage by developing a ‘Living Water’ narrative. The Wadawurrung narrative highlights the site’s location with views Wurdi Youang (the You Yangs) and Mount Duneed, and near to Lake Connewarre, all of which are significant places for Wadawurrung people. “The involvement in co-designing this space

brings to life Wadawurrung spirit and the cultural values of Djilang and its surrounds,” Wadawurrung traditional owner Stephanie Skinner said. “Living Water symbolises the rich values and spirit that weaves through and surrounds Armstrong Creek and which celebrates its fluidity of inspiration and sustenance to our communities.” Buchan lead architect Aleksander Borek said the library and community hub’s facade and interiors were inspired by Armstrong Creek’s diverse identity. “The fluid waterways of this landscape to the Wadawurrung people are part of a much larger ecology and have been a natural meeting

point and travelling route for centuries offering a place of sustenance, fluidity, fertility and spirituality, known as ‘Living Water’,” Mr Borek said. “Just as ‘Living Water’ gathers and nourishes us, our vision for the new library and community hub is to create a destination for the people of Armstrong Creek to gather and nourish at a central meeting point; a place of inspiration where the community and future generations can thrive together.” He said the circular windows around the building’s perimeter epitomised solidarity and a united local community, while creating a natural and fluid envelope for the internal spaces.

Geelong Regional Library Corporation chief executive Vanessa Schernickau welcomed the designs for the new facility. “The library will include a dedicated children’s area, creative and co-working spaces, meeting rooms and indoor/outdoor areas – all features that will undoubtedly make this a much-loved and practical gathering and working space, providing a true ‘heart’ for the community,” she said. “I hope the people of Armstrong Creek will take the opportunity to have a look at the design concepts for their new library and share their thoughts; your feedback is valuable.” The proposed design caters for a five-star Green Star rating and incorporates best practice environmental design principles, use of sustainable, environmentally friendly and robust materials and energy efficient low maintenance fixtures.

Man jailed over child sex abuse A Batesford man who paid for and encouraged children in the Philippines to engage in sexual activity on video has been jailed for 12 years. Roger Allan Rivo, 57, was sentenced to a non-parole period of nine years in the County Court last week. He was caught by the Victorian Joint Anti Child Exploitation Team (JACET) in late 2019 when it received financial intelligence showing he had been sending money to multiple accounts in the Philippines, which it believed was for live distance child abuse. Australian Federal Police investigators for JACET executed a search warrant at Rivo’s

house in January 2020 and found a mobile phone hidden in an ensuite. This phone contained images of child abuse material and Rivo was arrested and remanded in custody. Further examination of the phone revealed Skype and WhatsApp conversations with Filipino women where Rivo would request and direct the sexual abuse of pre-pubescent children. ne instance resulted in a child victim being hospitalised as a result of the abuse. Rivo faced the Geelong County Court earlier this month and pleaded guilty to 11 child abuse charges. During sentencing judge Trevor Wraight

described Rivo’s conduct as reprehensible and said his prospects for rehabilitation were “very poor”. The court had previously heard the offending happened about one year after Rivo completed a seven-year prison sentence for similar offending. Rivo had already spent 18 months of his sentence in custody while on remand. Detective acting superintendent Jarrod Ragg said the AFP was committed to tracking down and charging anyone involved in child exploitation and sexual abuse of children. “The AFP works closely with Philippine

Grants help bridge education gap Seventeen local programs supporting students and creating employment have shared in more than $500,000 in funding from the Give Where You Live Foundation. The foundation recently announced it had awarded $550,800 under its education and employment grants, to support programs that increased learning opportunities for students, access to and readiness for employment and employment retention. Give Where You Live Foundation chief executive Bill Mithen said “education and employment are key pillars” that needed to be supported. “Our theory is that if people have adequate education and have the ability to hold down valuable employment and they aren’t inhibited by life crisis, they have the tools they need to not only survive, but to thrive,” he said. “These grants exist because the systems of education and employment have some gaps, despite these areas being well funded by government. We aim to work with our community partners to help fill those gaps. “It’s well established that a good education and good employment give people a good platform to live a successful and thriving life. But we also know that in the community at large there are people that don’t get equal experience and equal opportunities. “It’s a fairness issue. When people are limited in their opportunities for education and employment their opportunities to truly thrive in our community are also limited.” The largest grants, at $40,000 each, were awarded to Bluebird Foundation and CatholicCare Victoria. Bluebird Foundation received its grant to work with parents in the 3214 and 3219 postcodes, covering northern and central Geelong, “to develop their capacity as their child’s first and most important teacher”. CatholicCare Victoria’s grant will allow the organisation to help refugee or asylum seeker youth transition from secondary education to further education or employment. Kids Plus received a grant of $35,000 to

help children and young people with complex communication conditions to remain engaged with their education by expanding speech pathology and communication technology services. The other organisations to receive grants were Ardoch, the Australian Federation of Disability Organisations, Back to Back Theatre, Barwon Disability Resource Council,

authorities and all our national and domestic partners to detect and disrupt child sex offenders no matter where their victims are located,” he said. “Members of the public who have any information about people involved in child abuse and exploitation are urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report online. Advice and support for parents and carers about how they can help protection children online can be found at ThinkUKnow, an AFP-led education program designed to prevent online child sexual exploitation.

Residents in Barwon Heads, St Leonards and Leopold will have a chance to raise issues with their local councillors tomorrow as the second round of councillor listening posts for 2021 continues. Bellarine ward councillors Stephanie Asher, Jim Mason and Trent Sullivan will be available to chat informally about any topics of interest at the corner of Hitchcock Avenue and Bridge Road in Barwon Heads from 9-10.30am, outside St Leonards IGA from 11am-noon and at Leopold Gateway Plaza from 12.30-2pm. It follows similar listening posts held in Norlane and Lara last month. Cr Asher said she was looking forward to visiting Barwon Heads, St Leonards and Leopold, after previously holding listening posts in Ocean Grove, Portarlington and Drysdale. “It is terrific to be hosting sessions in Barwon Heads, St Leonards and Leopold, which will give residents an opportunity to raise any local matter,” Cr Asher said. “Everyone is invited and encouraged to come along and speak with us about any council issue they want to raise.” Cr Mason said it was important to gain an understanding of the distinct issues facing each town across the Bellarine. “By listening, council is in a better position to develop its strategic planning and better represent the needs of the community,” Cr Mason said. “It’s also an opportunity for the community to find out about on council projects, decisions and activities.” All community members are welcome to attend the sessions and there is no requirement to pre-register. Each session will be held in a COVID-safe manner in line with government directions.

Boost public school funds: Union The Australian Education Union (AEU) has called on the federal government to increase its funding for public schools, saying it could allow every public school in Geelong to employ an average of nine more teachers and reduce class sizes by five students. Figures released by the union this week estimated public schools across the Geelong region had received more than $60 million less than they should under the federal government’s school funding arrangements. “Each year, every public school student in Geelong is missing out on $1971 because of the

failure of the federal government to ensure that every school is funded to a minimum of 100 per cent of the Schooling Resource Standard (SRS),” AEU federal president Correna Haythorpe said. “This shocking figure should concern every Geelong parent and community member. “It represents the funding shortfall for local public schools. Funding that could be used to employ additional teachers and support staff, and to provide the smaller class sizes and additional learning programs that every student deserves.”

The SRS is an estimate of how much public funding a school needs to meet its students’ educational needs, and is based on recommendations from the 2011 Review of Funding for Schooling. This year it was set at $12,099 for each primary pupil and $15,204 for secondary students. While public school funding is primarily done by state governments, the federal government has committed to providing at least 20 per cent of the SRS to all public schools by 2029.

AEU Victorian branch president Meredith Peace said there would be many benefits for public school students if the federal government “properly and fairly” funded schools. “Additional funding would provide more specialist teachers, more professional development and additional time for teaching and learning for all schools.” Education and Youth Minister Alan Tudge said the government was increasing its school funding. Mr Tudge said the federal government had invested $24.8 billion in schools this year, which would increase to $33 billion by 2029.

Help give the gift of joy Bethany Community Support has banded together with Barwon Child, Youth and Family (BCYF) and the Sexual Assault and Family Violence (SAFV) Centre to launch the Geelong Giving Tree Appeal, ensuring families facing hardship won’t have to go without this Christmas. The not-for-profits are encouraging the community to raise funds and share joy with families who need support and kindness more than ever because of the pandemic. Funds raised will empower families and individuals nominated through local support agencies to purchase gifts and food by receiving a gift card. Bethany Community Support has been leading the appeal for more than 20 years and last year joined with BCYF and the SAFV Centre for the first time to raise more than $67,000 for 2030 vulnerable families across Geelong and the south-west. Bethany Community Support chief executive Grant Boyd said the appeal also supported

people who have experienced trauma and helped them feel connected to the community. “The Geelong Giving Tree Appeal is your opportunity to share the joy of giving with a family or individual in our community who have faced their most significant hardships this year,” Mr Boyd said. “You’re helping parents to buy their children the present at the top of their Christmas list, or giving someone the chance to buy a present for themselves that they wouldn’t have otherwise afforded.” The SAFV Centre chief executive Helen Bolton said “for those impacted by violence, a sense of community, inclusion and belonging can make a big impact to their trauma”. “The Geelong Giving Tree Appeal is a fantastic way for the generous Geelong community to show their support and share the joy of giving this Christmas,” she said. Donate to the appeal until December 7 at geelonggivingtree.org.au.

Road cash for local councils

Work is progressing on the new Corio Quay Spirit of Tasmania terminal, with contractors appointed for the build. (Supplied)

Terminal work ramps up By Ash Bolt GeelongPort’s Corio Quay precinct will be a hive of activity over the coming months as contractors begin major works on the Spirit of Tasmania’s passenger and freight terminal project, ahead of the ferry’s move to Geelong. The $135 million state-of-the-art passenger and freight terminal precinct will see berth infrastructure, including a world-first three-level boarding ramp for cars, caravans and trucks to board simultaneously, a terminal building and a marshalling area to cater for 600 cars, built over the next 12 months. Spirit of Tasmania operator TT-Line announced its plans in April, 2020, to move from its Port Melbourne home to Corio Quay in the second half of 2022. Fitzgerald Contractors has been doing demolition work on the existing structure

and will continue the marine works needed to expand the wharf and berthing facilities, while BMD Constructions has been appointed to deliver the landside civil construction and Kane Constructions will build the new terminal building. GeelongPort chief executive Brett Winter said it was pleasing to see the project reaching milestones. “We are very excited to be reaching this major milestone with the appointment of these experienced contractors who have also delivered some iconic projects across the region over the years,” he said. “I am also proud to say that we have been working with them to ensure the project provides value to our region throughout construction with a large portion of goods and services being sourced through local businesses. “For example, the majority of the piles and

all of the complex steel structures for the three-level access ramp are being sourced through Thornton Engineering Australia who are located in Corio.” Spirit of Tasmania chief executive Bernard Dwyer said it was “fantastic to see the major works beginning on the precinct development”. “There has been a considerable amount of planning and design work leading up to today,” he said. “I am looking forward to seeing the development evolve over the next 12 months, so we begin welcoming passengers to Geelong in spring 2022.” The contractors will be working in parallel to deliver their individual packages of work, with works all contained within the port precinct. GeelongPort is also working with the state and federal governments to support the necessary road upgrades in time for the facility to open.

Local governments across the region will have some extra funding available for community projects, with the federal government announcing further allocations under the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program. Under the third phase of the program, more than $1 billion has been allocated to local governments across the country to fund local projects during the COVID-19 recovery. The City of Greater Geelong will receive an extra $4.63 million, taking its total allocation under the program to $14.8 million. The Surf Coast Shire will see its allocation almost double with another $2.102 million, while the Golden Plains Shire will receive a further $2.66 million. The Borough of Queenscliffe has received $76,300, taking its total allocation to $217,000. Geelong-based senator Sarah Henderson said the funding allocations would ensure local infrastructure met community needs. “From sealing rough regional roads and installing safety barriers to upgrading sporting facilities and installing Wi-Fi networks, this program has already been making local projects that communities need and deserve a reality – and I look forward to seeing more get under way thanks to this third phase,” she said. “Councils can nominate a broad range of local road projects for funding under the program, such as traffic signs, street lighting, bridges, tunnels, rest areas or even road and sidewalk improvements.”

Golden Plains Shire has a new mayor for the coming year, with councillor Gavin Gamble elected to the role this week. Cr Gamble, who is in his first term as a councillor, was one of three councillors to nominate for mayor at Tuesday’s special council meeting, alongside councillors Ian Getsom and Owen Sharkey. Support for the candidates was split, with no candidate receiving the four votes needed to be elected during the first vote. However after further rounds of voting that saw Cr Sharkey eliminated from contention, Cr Gamble was eventually elected with a 4-3 vote advantage over Cr Getsom. Cr Gamble said he was looking forward to what the next 12 months had in store. “It is a privilege and honour to be elected as mayor of Golden Plains Shire for 2021-22,” he

said. “I have a genuine passion for this shire – its environment, its people, its diversity and its potential. I feel excited about the possibility to achieve great things for our community. “The second year of our council term will be busy as we move forward on delivering the Council Plan 2021-2025 for the people of Golden Plains Shire.” Former mayor Helena Kirby did not stand for re-election but instead was the only nominee for the deputy mayor position. “I will ensure all our towns have the backing of me as a councillor and I am a voice for you to be heard,” she said. “As a team player, I look forward to the next 12 months and working hard for the team and the staff, the [chief executive] and the residents of the shire.”

A new state government-backed sewing hub in Norlane is providing job and training opportunities for refugee and migrant women across Geelong. State government funding of $188,000 has enabled Melbourne-based social enterprise Assembled Threads to open the regional hub, paying for sewing machines, fabric, training and employee wages. Ten local women have begun two weeks of paid intensive training in garment production, which will lead to an industry and skills certificate III training qualification from Holmesglen Institute. Once training is complete, the new employees will start producing environmentally sustainable and ethically sourced garments, including face masks and PPE, which could be ordered by local businesses.

MAKING THE MOVE TO CHARLES BROWNLOW VILLAGE IN HIGHTON As a GP George Henderson all too o en saw the negative impacts of leaving decisions about ageing until it was too late. “I’ve seen so many people who hang onto their homes as long as they possibly can and then some tragedy occurs and they are shoved off to a nursing home where they don’t want to go,” George says. With these experiences in mind, George was one of the first to purchase a serviced apartment at Ryman Healthcare’s Charles Brownlow Retirement Village in Highton. “I am 88-years-old, and I decided that I would move maybe one or two years before I had to,” he said. “It was important for me to do this while I was still physically and mentally capable to look a er my affairs.” George’s one-bedroom serviced apartment is one of 60 at the village offering daily chef-prepared meals, housekeeping, and onsite care to residents. “It’s a lovely apartment, it really feels like living in a luxury resort,” he says.

The decision to join the village had not been a difficult one, with no other aged care providers in the area offering a continuum of care like Ryman. “My former unit was about 1km from here, so I’ve been watching the village develop from the beginning,” George says. “I made the decision entirely by myself, but my kids were thrilled because they were not very happy about me being by myself in case I fell over or something.” Now George has moved in he is taking time to reflect on a busy life in Highton as a GP and solo father of four teenagers. “I’ve been riding bikes since the 1980s in between snow skiing, those hobbies and my children have kept me busy,” he says.

“Make this move and do it earlier rather than later.” George, a Charles Brownlow resident The Charles Brownlow Retirement Village centre is due to open later this year and George plans to make good use of its shared amenities. “I’m looking forward to the gym and swimming pool and I used to play a lot of billiards when I was a student instead of studying, so I’m looking forward to doing that again too.” As a former GP and new Ryman resident, George is quick to offer advice to others

considering a serviced apartment. “I thoroughly recommend it. My advice would be to go for it,” he says. “Make this move and do it earlier rather than later.” Upon completion, the village at 1 Vintner Court will include 57 villas; 100 care beds comprising low care, high care and specialist dementia care; and a bowling green, cinema, bar and café and indoor pool.

Stapleton secures second term By Ash Bolt There will be no change at the helm of the Surf Coast Shire Council for the next year, with councillor Libby Stapleton re-elected as mayor this week. Cr Liz Pattison was also re-elected as deputy mayor at Tuesday night’s special council meeting. Both will serve a second one-year term in the roles. In her acceptance speech, Cr Stapleton said it was a great honour to be elected as mayor for a second year. “It’s been a privilege to work with this team

over the past 12 months,” she said. “I’d like to thank my fellow councillors, council staff and the community for their support over what’s been a challenging year for us all. “COVID threw us another curveball in 2021, but the dedication of this council and the ability of our community to persevere has been inspiring. Although the impacts of COVID will linger and challenge us for some time – years in fact – I’m proud of the way our community has responded.” Cr Stapleton said the council had achieved a lot during her first term and she was excited for the next 12 months. “Despite the challenges of COVID, our

council has achieved much over the past year, from the big ticket items like People Place Future, the development of our four-year strategic plans and the appointment of our new [chief executive], to really significant moments like the launch of our Reconciliation Action Plan, releasing our Climate Emergency Corporate Response Plan, securing the final stage of funding for the aquatic centre and the declaration of a key worker accommodation crisis on the Surf Coast,” she said. “We’ve been able to work collaboratively and achieve great outcomes for our community. “I really am hopeful that the next year will allow me to do more of the things I love,

like getting out and meeting people in our community while also working hard to help council deliver on our Council Plan and fulfil the vision of our community.” Cr Pattison also thanked her fellow councillors and the community for their support. “This year has been a challenging and enjoyable year, and as a team of councillors I think we should be proud of the achievements that we have made over the year,” she said. “I’m excited to continue to represent our community in the Surf Coast Shire for another year. We’re so lucky to be part of this wonderful community and environment.”

Belmont dog park open Belmont’s fenced dog park has reopened with fresh lawn and garden bed upgrades for dogs to enjoy. The facility, which is located under the James Harrison Bridge on Barrabool Road in Belmont, first opened to the community in between lockdowns last June and has been popular with dogs and their owners since. Due to the high use of the facility, the City of Greater Geelong temporarily closed the dog park to reinstate the grass on site, improve drainage, upgrade the garden bed edging with rocks and logs and install a concrete pad underneath the drinking fountain. Mayor Stephanie Asher thanked dog owners for their patience while the maintenance works were under way. “We’ve been blown away by the popularity of this new facility as thousands of dogs have tried out the agility course and got some

much-needed exercise and socialisation in a few short months,” she said. “The high use of this facility shows we’re on the right track with creating additional fenced dog parks in the region, with one in Lara not too far off.” Features of the existing fenced dog park include a dog training and obstacle area with balance beams, hurdles, weave poles, a tunnel and sand area, separate spaces for passive and active dogs, shelter, seating and access to drinking water for both people and dogs. Geelong MP Christine Couzens welcomed the park upgrades. “The fact that the Belmont dog park needed maintenance shows how popular this park is with dog owners who want safe, stimulating facilities to exercise their pets,” she said.

A series of pedestrian and traffic improvement works are being planned for Torquay’s town centre. The Surf Coast Shire said the works would make it safer and easier for people to access, walk and cycle around town with altered pedestrian treatments, speed control and intersection improvements. The works, which are planned to begin next year after the busy Easter period and be completed by June 2022, include installing a mini roundabout at the intersection of Pearl Street and Bristol Road, raising the pedestrian crossings on Boston Road and Bristol Road (both near Payne Street), installing speed humps on Anderson Street and Boston Road (both near Surf Coast Highway) and raising an intersection on the corner of Payne and Anderson streets. Crash pattern analysis and community feedback was used to determine key locations for the road treatments. The shire said it had also sent letters to affected property and business owners and residents. Surf Coast Shire deputy mayor Liz Pattison said the works aimed to improve traffic flow and create a safer system for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles. “The works will encourage active transport, which has significant health and environmental benefits and plays a big part in easing traffic congestion and freeing up parking spaces.” A map showing the planned works can be viewed at surfcoast.vic.gov.au/ TTCworks.

Creative landscaping will tell the story of Cowies Creek as part of the City of Greater Geelong’s proposed improvements at Labuan Square in Norlane. The city has released the square’s concept design for public comment, in response to feedback received earlier this year that the community wanted a sustainable landscape, access to nature, public art and play experiences in the redevelopment of the space. Windermere ward councillor Anthony Aitken welcomed the story behind the concept design for the public space at Labuan Square. “This project has taken longer than all of us had envisaged; COVID restrictions prolonged the engagement and design development, however what we have now released has been generated from one of the best local neighbourhood engagement processes the Greater Geelong council has ever undertaken,” he said. “The draft concept embraces a Wadawurrung interpretation of Cowies Creek and its wider landscape, and seeks to attract the community back to Labuan Square, relocate the public toilets and begin attraction of potential new tenants and services to the square.” Walking from the Forster Street entrance through to Tennyson Street will take community members on a journey depicting four distinct stages of Cowies Creek – the grassy plains of Moorabool, the origins of the creek; the basalt rocks of the gullies; open water and wetlands; and exiting through the bay and cliffs. The concept was designed in partnership with Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation. The concept design also includes improvements to the existing toilet facilities

New ambulance crews on duty By Ash Bolt Ambulance Victoria’s medium acuity transport service (MATS) is expanding into regional Victoria, with new ambulance crews operating out of the Geelong and Belmont ambulance branches from this week. The new paramedic team is dedicated to responding to less-urgent emergency calls, freeing up more ambulances for the most critically ill patients. Ambulance Victoria Barwon South West regional director Tim Maywald said MATS

had been a major success after hitting the road in metropolitan Melbourne in September, responding to about 60 cases a day. “With up to 15 crews on the road each day in metro, MATS crews have responded to 2320 emergency incidents in their first month of operation,” Mr Maywald said. “That is a lot of time saved for other paramedic crews to respond to the most critical cases so … this is exciting news for our paramedics in Geelong.” Across Victoria, the MATS service is made up of 22 vehicles and 165 dedicated staff that

respond to code two and three patients. Mr Maywald said paramedics were working extremely hard to manage the increasing demand while prioritising care to the sickest Victorians. “MATS teams make a real difference ensuring less-urgent calls get the high expertise and care that the community expects while having a positive impact on workload pressures being experienced by paramedics,” he said. “MATS teams have also responded to several time-critical cases where they have been the closest available unit, ensuring patients who

are in life-threatening situations receive urgent care.” Mr Maywald said the unique service partnered paramedic recruits with experienced paramedics. “This gives an opportunity for our senior paramedics to impart invaluable knowledge gained through their years of experience to their new colleagues,” he said. “At the same time, it provides an enriching on-the-job educational experience and additional pathway for new paramedics.”

Spotlight on argiculture Year 9 and 10 students from Geelong schools have been taking part in an innovative trial program to show how interconnected regional Australia is with the rest of the world through agriculture. Students have been taking part in the Asia Education Foundation’s HarvestEd program throughout 2021, where students have been able to learn about agriculture, threats facing the industry and future opportunities. Program co-ordinator Brendan Hitchens said the program was about opening up students’ minds to the region’s connections with the wider world through agriculture. “This is about opening their horizons to the opportunities in agriculture – many of the students involved grew up on rural properties and have that background – but there’s so many elements involved in the agriculture industry into the future,“ he said. Through the program, the students were able to learn from guests including the National

Wool Museum’s Stephanie Rosenstone, who spoke of Geelong’s rich history of sheep farming and wool and textile manufacturing, and Bayer Crop Science’s Simon Lamacraft, who spoke of the vital role science and technology plays in all aspects of agriculture. GeelongPort head of service delivery Chris Anderson detailed Geelong’s connection to the world through agriculture and Lynne Strong from Young Farming Champions spoke of the young innovators and entrepreneurs who were shaping the industry. Through research, role play, debate and dialogue, students investigated contentious issues such as animal activism, fast food, climate change and food aid to the world’s poorest nations. They also met with greater Geelong deputy mayor Trent Sullivan to discuss local issues such as urbanisation, employment and the economy, and corresponded with federal Agriculture Minister David Littleproud to share their concerns for the future of agriculture.

The singing powerhouse will perform 10 of her songs, including tracks from her new album, 30.

PICK OF THE WEEK BOOKS THAT MADE US ABC TV, Tuesday, 8.30pm

Settle in for a comprehensive and beguiling exploration of Australian literature with beloved actor Claudia Karvan. In this special new three-part series, the Secret Life of Us and Love My Way star embarks on a fantastic journey to understand all about Aussie literature, delving into a selection of our bestselling books, the inspiration behind them, and how they have helped shape Australian identity. It’s a mammoth undertaking; Karvan’s passion and curiosity is infectious. She kicks off this week focusing on characters, catching up with revered writers including Christos Tsiolkas in a Greek tavern and Tim Winton in a town hall with ties to Cloudstreet.

More than three million Aussies live below the poverty line, and this confronting three-part documentary does an excellent job of shining a light on this national problem. Many people already have ideas about what sort of folk must rely on welfare to survive, and this series smashes stereotypes to reveal the reality. Chef Julie Goodwin (pictured), journalist Caleb Bond and NSW Greens MP Jenny Leong forgo their money and possessions to meet and live with people on the poverty line.

MY GEELONG The Geelong Baycats are the region’s only summer baseball club and one of the most successful in the state. President Adam Renouf spoke to Ash Bolt about his love of the club and the sport. Tell us a bit about yourself. I was born and bred in the western suburbs of Melbourne, but we relocated down here probably about 15 years ago. I run my own business as a financial planner. I got involved with baseball and the Baycats when there was a school flyer that came around to get the kids playing sport and they took up baseball. We had zero experience in any way, shape or form, but it was great and we’ve been involved ever since. How did you end up as president? I literally started out helping raking grounds and then being an assistant coach here and there. From my financial services background, I said I’d help the community in a treasurer type role. I was treasurer for seven years, and now this is my third year as president. It’s been interesting and challenging in the COVID environment we’re dealing with, but we’ve been really lucky that we’ve had the induction of [ABL team] Geelong-Korea because that gives us another level of experience. We are an exceptionally successful club for small minority regional sport and I’m very proud of that. What is it about baseball you enjoy? The thing that really appealed to me is that, especially the junior level, every kid plays every position. Like most parents, I took my kids to Auskick and the better kids always tended to kick it to themselves and take control. With baseball, every kid of every different level of ability gets to play every position and have a go. I played cricket myself as kid and when you get out, you’re out, that’s it. In baseball, you get

out and 20 minutes later, you get another bat. So there’s more of that on ongoing activity. It’s also been a real really, really fun environment. Both my kids have been on some trips to the US through baseball. How are you feeling about this season? I’m really, really looking forward to it. We’re a pretty strong club and the only regional division one club, so we play against sides in Melbourne. We’ve got six men’s sides, two women’s teams, nine charter [juniors] sides and four tee ball sides too, so we’ve about 130 juniors and 80 seniors at our club. The season started last weekend and I’m looking forward to seeing how we go. Outside of baseball, what’s your favourite thing to do locally? We’re a family of scuba divers, so we love taking advantage of the Surf Coast and getting underwater. Twenty feet underwater there’s no mobile phones, nobody’s busting your chops, it’s really relaxing. We’re really lucky, we believe the dive here, and we may be a bit biased, is just as good as anywhere like the Great Barrier Reef. Last year we did a few deeper dives on some of the sub wrecks and that was absolutely amazing. What is something people may not know about you? I lived and worked in the United States for a year. I was an assistant property development manager for a property management development and condo association in New Hampshire in 1994. It was magnificent until the white stuff started to come down, then it was no good – there was too much of that.

Corio scientist given top honour Corio academic Enamul Haque was recently recognised for his ground-breaking research which could help improve efficiency in the energy sector. He talks to Ash Bolt about his academic career and his latest research.

A

Corio academic has been recognised with a prestigious international science award. RMIT University associate professor Dr Enamul Haque was recently awarded for the Scientist Medal by Swedish organisation the International Association of Advanced Materials. The Scientist Medal acknowledges the contribution of scientists from across the world to “interfacing the materials for multi-inter-trans disciplinary fields of science, engineering, and technology” and encourages ground-breaking research. It has been awarded to scientists and researchers in more than 70 countries. Dr Haque said it was both an honour and a surprise to receive the award, which was adjudged by the IAAM’s panel of experts. “It was unexpected, but was absolutely great,” he said. “For me, this award means that many-years-long efforts and hard work of my research team in the area of material science were recognised and appreciated at the highest level. “It also shows the importance in the design and construction of new materials.” Dr Haque was recognised for his research over his academic career, which started with his PhD in chemical and biomolecular engineering from the University of Sydney. His research has taken him around the country and the world, before he and his family settled in Corio four years ago while he was a researcher and lecturer at Deakin University. Dr Haque said his research focus specifically on nanomaterials – materials and chemical substances that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. He said some of his most notable research had involved the use of nanomaterials in fuel cell batteries. “Usually the platinum metal is used for fuel cells and batteries to produce the electricity in for example, the battery in your car,” he said. “That was all they really used, but platinum metal is very expensive, and also it is not stable after a certain time. “I was able to produce some carbon nanomaterials which doped with nitrogen. “So there’s no need now to use the platinum metal, [because] there’s the nitrogen-doped carbon materials that can be used, instead to produce the energy. “But the more scientific thing that I identified was that that there’s some particular type of nitrogen that plays the main role to produce the energy. “There are about five types of nitrogen … but under various kinds of nitrogen-doped

carbon, one particular nitrogen plays the role to produce energy. “So this award was recognition of that research output across my whole career and the contribution to making new kinds of materials.” Dr Haque said the research could have an important role in increasing efficiency in the energy sector. “In the government sector at the moment, they are providing funding for the energy sector to produce the new materials that can be used to produce storage, like a super capacitor, a battery, or fuel cells that can store energy,” he said. “That had the good impact in the Australian industry, because it is possible to produce a new innovative industry or prototype industry where these kinds of materials can be produced in huge amounts or on a large scale. “These materials can then be used for Australian innovation and developing new technology.” Dr Haque said nanomaterials had many

other uses beyond energy production, which he had also researched throughout his career. “When I was at Deakin University I worked in the school of medicine with nanomaterials … and the making on nano-sensing devices,” he said. “I’m now at RMIT in the school of engineering, where the work is more focussed on nanomaterials, carbon materials, that can be used for electronic devices like battery fuel cells. “We’re also looking at how they can be used in sensing devices that can be used to detect toxic gases like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and things like that. “There’s also applications for biomedicine, because I created nanomaterials that can carry the drug and be traced during cancer treatment. “I work across multi-discipline areas of science – chemistry, chemical engineering, biomedicine – and we’re creating new materials and finding innovative new ways to use materials.”

Dr Haque said he really enjoyed the research and finding new solutions to problems. “I especially enjoy working with new materials that weren’t used in Australia before,” he said. “When I first started at the University of Sydney, Australia was a bit behind in its research compared to other countries … but now the research we’re doing is parallel to what’s happening in the US, the UK and Germany. “That’s what I’ve enjoyed – at the University of Sydney, we were working the metal organic framework that was cutting edge research. “Now we are trying to produce liquid metal-organic frameworks, and that is a really new thing to be produced here in Australia.” Along with receiving his medal, Dr Haque also had to provide a lecture for the IAAM, which unfortunately had to be held online due to the pandemic, but he said it was a “great experience”. “It’s been a really exciting time,” he said.

Views sought on Drysdale aquatic centre plans The City of Greater Geelong is calling for community input to help shape concept designs for a proposed indoor aquatic and leisure centre at Drysdale, which could feature indoor heated pools, a gymnasium, and wellness centre. The North Bellarine Aquatic and Leisure Centre is a staged project beginning with the $15.5 million outdoor 50-metre pool jointly funded by the federal government and council. Community feedback on the proposed stage two of the indoor aquatic and leisure centre will be used to develop concept plans to advocate for $45 million in funding support from the state and federal governments. Mayor Stephanie Asher said council had

listened to community feedback about the importance of delivering fit-for-purpose aquatic and leisure facilities, including indoor and outdoor pools at the Drysdale Sporting Precinct. “Delivering both indoor and outdoor heated pools is based on extensive planning, consultation and the identified need for a new centre for the north Bellarine community, including more than 3500 students who attend local schools adjacent to the site,” she said. “We want to listen to everyone’s views before we progress the concept designs.” An independent study produced for council in March last year found communities such

Drysdale, Curlewis, Portarlington, St Leonards and Indented Head had less access to aquatic facilities than those elsewhere in greater Geelong. Submissions made to council in April and direct consultation with the North Bellarine Aquatic Centre Advocacy Group have been used to develop a concept for the indoor facility. The concept would see the facility contain a warm water exercise pool, a learn to swim program pool, a water play pool, spa, sauna and steam room, a wide range of accessible changing facilities, a gymnasium, group fitness rooms, health consulting suites, a café and an occasional care and program room.

Gas terminal protest By Ash Bolt Geelong Red Rebels will be hosting a silent protest of Viva Energy’s proposed gas project at the Geelong Waterfront tomorrow. From 2pm the Red Rebels will make their way slowly and silently down the fountain steps and proceed to the promenade where they will “form a number of tableaux to raise public awareness of the damaging impacts the gas terminal will have to our climate and marine environment”, a spokesperson said. “We believe the proposed Viva Gas Terminal is a disaster for Geelong, its people and its environment,” the spokesperson said. “Gas is a polluting fuel that contributes to the climate crisis, many locals are concerned about the safety of this terminal and how close it is to residents and suburbs. “Renewables are the answer for a cheaper and cleaner fuel for Geelong, Australia and the planet.” The spokesperson said the action took place in the wake of COP26, where prominent public figures including the UN secretary general Antonio Guterres, Pope Francis and Queen Elizabeth called on world leaders to phase out production and use of fossil fuels, including gas. A Viva Energy spokesperson said the company supported people’s right to protest the project, but said the terminal would be beneficial for the region. “The majority of households in Victoria rely on gas for heating, cooking and hot water and gas does and will increasingly play a critical role in underpinning more renewable energy generation (along with battery storage and pumped hydro) as coal power plants retire. “Victoria’s Bass Strait gas supply is declining as reported by the Australian Energy Market Operator, which could have an impact on prices and also lead to gas not being available for homes and industry when we need it. “Geelong is a strong location for a gas terminal because we have a skilled workforce, good port access and are close to the biggest markets for gas – Geelong and Melbourne – with the main gas line passing right in front of the refinery, so we can feed gas straight into it.

Geelong Red Rebels will hold a silent protest at the Waterfront tomorrow. (Supplied)

“This is great for Geelong and the local economy because it means more jobs and investment in the region. It also means Geelong will have an important role to play in being an energy gateway for Victoria. “We are undertaking the regulatory approvals process at the moment – called an Environment Effects Statement, which is a very thorough examination of the project

covering topics such as safety and the environment. These studies are showing that we can operate the gas terminal safely and with minimal impact to the environment. “We will only proceed with building the terminal if it can be operated safely – we know that is important to the community and it is equally important for us and for our employees.”

“The proposed wellness centre would feature a spa, sauna and steam room that would be popular with senior residents and people with disabilities, particularly because this service is not available at our nearby indoor centre in Ocean Grove,” Cr Asher said. “Families with young children would be able to access indoor water play facilities locally at the Drysdale Sporting Precinct rather than travel nine kilometres to the aquatic centre in Ocean Grove.” Community members can leave feedback on the proposal at yoursay.geelongaustralia.com. au/nbalc before December 12.

Faster internet on the way Residents of Geelong’s northern suburbs and the Surf Coast will soon have access to faster internet. NBN Co has announced its sixth tranche of suburbs and towns across the region that will become eligible to upgrade to NBN’s Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), which included Bell Park, Hamlyn Heights, Lara, Norlane, Drysdale, Torquay and Jan Juc. The suburbs are currently served by NBN Co’s Fibre to the Node (FTTN) service and were chosen based on expected increase in demand for quicker internet speeds. Communications Minister Paul Fletcher said the announcement meant another 14,000 properties across the region would have access to faster internet speeds. “This next stage will see another 200,000 premises eligible, [including] more than 14,000 in the Corio and Corangamite electorates, which will drive significant benefits to the community,” he said. “NBN Co will now work with its construction and delivery partners to get premises in the region ready to upgrade to ultrafast speeds when they choose to do so. “This represents a key part of NBN Co’s $3.5 billion investment that will see 75 per cent of Australia’s fixed line network able to access ultrafast broadband by 2023.” Geelong-based senator Sarah Henderson said the upgrade would bring benefits to residents and businesses. “This will create jobs in the community, ensure local businesses can access the speeds they need to thrive, and improve connectivity for families in the entire region,” she said. “Households and businesses across our region will be able to access NBN Co’s fastest internet plans of up to one gigabit per second, on demand by 2023.”

Access to youth mental health care close to home More young people will have access to mental health services they need, with Barwon Health set to run a new 10-bed Youth Prevention and Recovery Care (PARC) facility in Geelong. Premier Daniel Andrews announced Wednesday the state government would build five new residential facilities across the state, including one in Geelong, that provided around-the-clock clinical care on a short-to-medium basis for people aged between 16 to 25 dealing with mental health concerns. The facilities were a key recommendation and immediate priority identified by the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System.

Mr Andrews said the sites reduced pressure on hospital beds by providing early intervention care and an alternative to hospital admission with recovery-focused treatment. “We’re not wasting a moment delivering the Royal Commission’s key recommendations and we’re giving young Victorians across the state support and care when they need it the most,” he said. The facility will be designed by NTC Architects to create a home-like environment with private bedrooms, ensuite bathrooms, communal kitchens, dining and living areas, breakout spaces and an outdoor garden, to support family visits for people during their

recovery. The facility will begin construction next year and be operational in late 2023. Barwon Health mental health, drugs and alcohol clinical director associate professor Steve Moylan said Barwon Health was “excited” by the announcement. “The Youth PARC will be incorporated into our existing mental health service provision options, forming an important and new option for young people experiencing mental health issues to receive care in a new, purpose built environment close to home,” he said. “There continues to be strong demand for mental health services in our region across all

ages, including young people. “We are optimistic that care for young people will continue to improve in the coming years, thanks to the significant investment in new and expanded services in the Geelong region, and the ongoing commitment of all mental health service providers to work together with our community to achieve the best possible outcomes.” Geelong MP Christine Couzens welcomed the announcement which would allow “more young people in Geelong [to] get the right treatment and care close to their family, support networks and local community”.

Artists get ready for Biennale By Ash Bolt Preparations for the Lorne Sculpture Biennale are pushing ahead, with prominent artists busy creating their works ahead of next year’s festival. The Biennale was originally scheduled for 2020 but pushed back until this month due to the pandemic, before organisers made the decision in September to again push back the event to next March. “As a not-for-profit organisation entrusted with funding from private and public sources, we are mindful of our obligation to deliver an event that is the best possible platform that will allow our artists and performers to shine,” organisers wrote on Facebook in September. “We have seriously and carefully assessed the risk involved in going ahead with our event in November, and we have decided that the ongoing restrictions imposed as a result of COVID-19 pandemic will impede our ability to run a successful and fully-realised event.” First-time Lorne Sculpture Biennale artistic director Graeme Wilkie said there had been great response from artists, with works working to the theme ‘spirit of place’. Speaking directly to the multiple histories of Lorne, the Lorne Sculpture Biennale will explore the deep connections to nature, history and community through sculpture, performance and conversations. Held on traditional Gadubanud land, the works will explore the deeper histories of Lorne by taking a deep dive into Lorne’s diverse and fascinating past. “We are delighted that all of our artists are looking forward to next March. All are working tirelessly to further develop or finalise their pieces in response to our beautiful location,” Mr Wilkie said.

New Lorne Sculpture Biennale artistic director Graeme Wilkie is looking forward to the rescheduled event in March.

“March and April will be an exciting time in Lorne with the unveiling of these works, as well as our small sculpture exhibition, online gallery and the Sculpture Plus program. “2022 will see the Lorne Sculpture Biennale sit alongside international biennales as an art event of significance, with Lorne showcased as the Australian home of great art and creative experience.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming art lovers to our iconic town by the sea.” Along with the core sculpture event, there will be a curated program of events running parallel to the Biennale, creating a hive of creative activity in Lorne over the period of the exhibition. Named Sculpture Plus, the program will feature free and ticketed performances,

workshops, nature walks, Indigenous education and other experiences. The Lorne Sculpture Biennale itself will take place in 16 dedicated precincts along the iconic Lorne foreshore, featuring works from notable sculptors including Stevens Vaughn, Deborah Halpern, Geoffrey Ricardo, Laine Hogarty, Alexander Knox, Karen Casey and Maree Clarke.

Light up for adventure The Christmas Festival of Lights is returning to Adventure Park next week, with more light installations, an extended walking trail, two new rides and a range of Christmas activities for the kids planned this festive season. Adventure Park’s Christmas celebration begins on November 27 and will run for 43 days, transforming the water theme park into a festive sparkling wonderland. This year there will be 700,000 more lights over a two-kilometre walking trail that will illuminate the night sky. “We thought last year was big, but the 2021 event is even bigger with 2.7 million lights and some really jaw-dropping feature installations,” Adventure Park managing director Bree Salmon said. “We have new light displays going all the way around the 16-acre lake and we’ve completely transformed our huge undercover pavilion with a lunar lanterns exhibit, filled with zodiac themed animal installations and lanterns, it’s so pretty. “Plus there’s two new fun rides that kids will love, more food and drink options like the Schnapps Bar, more children’s activities and live entertainment.” New light installations include a Lunar Lantern Exhibit complete with majestic 20-metre dragon, lanterns and animals from the zodiac; a Fantasyland with a 12-metre smoke breathing dragon, an eight-metre caterpillar and butterflies; a 25-metre Psychedelic Tunnel; Loch Ness monster and angels. “The immersive and three dimensional installations have been so popular so we’ve added loads more of these where you can get inside and underneath for the perfect family photo,” Ms Salmon said. Santa will return to the park’s Christmas Cave, where kids can write and post letters to the North Pole. Eight dry rides will be open including two new rides, the classic spinning tea cups ride

and a unique air balloons ride which sees riders soar 20 metres into the sky for an epic view of the park before floating back down to earth. There will also be live music from the South Barwon Salvation Army Band, who will be performing Christmas carols every weeknight. “We’re very excited to be running such a wonderful event now that Victorians are able to get out and about again,” Ms Salmon said. Last year crowds flocked to see the magical lights, with many nights selling out close to Christmas. As per Victorian government COVID requirements, proof of double vaccination for those 16 years and over is required for entry to Adventure Park.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Set your compass on new Jeep By Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring

Selec-Terrain off-road systems.

The new Compass is out to point the way for Jeep to gain ground in the small sports utility vehicle segment, one of the most competitive markets in the automotive world. The legendary US four-wheel drive maker, famous for its Rubicon test regimen on the infamous eponymous trail, a 22-mile route, part road and part hellish 4x4 track, in the Sierra Nevada of the western United States, which all genuine off-road Jeeps have to endure during development, has imbued the MY22 Compass with the finer things in SUV life. As Tom Noble, marketing and communications manager, Jeep Australia puts it, since its launch in 2017, the Compass has been renowned for its off-road capability, now we’re pairing that with advanced technology and premium interior styling. The updated range kicks off with the Compass Launch Edition 2.4-litre petrol, six-speed automatic, front-wheel drive, with a focus on technology, safety and convenience in an affordable package – $37,950, plus on-road costs. The Compass Limited ups the ante with nine-speed auto and four-wheel drive, for $43,950, followed by the 80th Anniversary ($47,941), Compass S-Limited ($46,950) and the Trailhawk 2.0-litre turbodiesel ($51,250). On test was the Compass S-Limited.

Styling Although classified in the lightweight (compact) division, on first glance the Compass could well tip the scales into the middleweight class, such is the muscled body. The wagon maintains the traditional Jeep upright stance, restyled with sculpted surfaces

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, standard on new Compass includes traffic sign recognition, intelligent speed assist, drowsy driver alert and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist recognition. Forward collision warning, lane sense departure warning, electronic stability control with electronic roll mitigation, plus front, side and curtain airbags are carried over from the previous generation.

Driving The Compass S-Limited 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine went about a not-too-demanding workload with up to five occupants, plus their gear without much fuss.

Rising Irish star signs with Cats By Ash Bolt Geelong has signed rising Gaelic football star Oisin Mullin as a category B rookie. The 21-year-old has already established himself as one of the premier defenders in Gaelic football with county Mayo. Mullin has played in the All Ireland final in each of the past two years, and earned GAA All Star selection following his breakout 2020 season. He was also named the GAA Young Footballer of the Year in 2020, and has again been named a finalist for the award this year. “Oisin is a very athletic and talented

prospect, and we are thrilled he has chosen to join the Cats as he transitions to AFL,” Geelong recruiting and list manager Stephen Wells said. “Oisin has already established himself as an elite player in the GAA, and it is a big step to make the move to Australia. “We have a strong plan in place around his development and transition to football.” Mullin had previously looked likely to make the switch to AFL after a trial two years ago, but it was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. In a video shared on Geelong’s social media last week, Mullin said he was excited to make the move to Australia and play with the Cats.

Mullin joins a growing contingent of Irish players at Geelong. He will be surrounded by recent AFLW recruit Rachel Kearns, who is also from Mayo, Mark O’Connor, who hails from Kerry, and Zach Tuohy, from Laois, at GMHBA Stadium. The Cats have also signed former two-time premiership player Shannon Byrnes as player development manager. Byrnes played 108 games and kicked 100 goals with the Cats between 2003 and 2012 and was a member of the 2007 and 2009 AFL premiership teams. Byrnes finished his AFL career with Melbourne, playing 23 games in two seasons

and retiring after the 2014 season. The following year Byrnes took up the player development manager role with the Demons and was a key part of their rise up the ladder that culminated in a premiership in 2021. “Shannon enjoyed an excellent playing career with the Cats, and he has been at the forefront of player development at the Demons for the past seven years,” Geelong general manager of football Simon Lloyd said. “To be able to welcome Shannon back to the club is significant, and an exciting addition for us. Shannon brings expertise in the player development area, is a strong relationship builder and has a deep love of the club.”

Strong start for United in Geelong

Lifesavers glad to be back in action Lifesaving sports are officially back for the summer, with Life Saving Victoria (LSV) athletes hitting the sand and the surf last weekend to compete in beach, board and ski and surf boat disciplines for the first time since COVID-19 paused play. On Saturday, over 200 athletes hit Cosy Corner on the Surf Coast for the 2021 endurance championships, which saw athletes contest long-course board, ski, swimming and running events. Geelong region surf lifesaving clubs showed their strength in the competition, with five local clubs placing in the top seven at the event. Ocean Grove was easily the strongest on the day, placing first with 274 points, ahead of Mentone in second with 109 points and Torquay in third with 107. Lorne, Anglesea and Jan Juc finished fifth, sixth and seventh respectively.

swim and four kilometre board race, as well as placing second in the 10km ski race. Ocean Grove’s Iestyn Knapp was also a standout, claiming wins in the under-19 men’s two kilometre swim, four kilometre board and four kilometre run races. It was the Victorian Surf Rowers League competitors’ time to shine on Sunday, when the sport returned to the surf at Lorne Surf Life Saving Club in its first outing for the season. It was an all-local affair in the women’s A final, as Anglesea Lightning took the win ahead of Lorne Lions and Lorne Edge, while on the men’s side, Lorne took second in the A final and Anglesea Pirates third. LSV aquatic sport manager Simon Butterly said it was great to athletes back competing after a long winter break. “It was fantastic to see athletes from the under-12 division all the way up to masters at our endurance championships, as LSV is working to actively promote aquatic sports

as a great form of active training across all demographics,” he said. “LSV’s aquatic sport athletes are patrolling members at our 57 lifesaving clubs, so our carnivals are valuable opportunities for them to practice their skills in the conditions they are likely to face on patrol. “Sport is also an important part of our lifesavers’ connection to their communities, which are always there to support them in their training and competition activities. “We are proud of our athletes for their resilience to continue actively training wherever possible throughout this period and for staying engaged with aquatic sports. “With a fully vaccinated workforce and volunteer force for those aged 16-plus, I look forward to safely hosting our aquatic sports carnivals for the summer season, after a successful opening weekend.” Ash Bolt

It was a successful start to Western United’s run of games in Geelong, as it defeated Newcastle in the FFA Cup on Saturday. In front of 1127 fans at GMHBA Stadium, Western United scored twice to beat the Jets 2-1 and claim a spot in the FFA Cup’s final 32. Newcastle looked in control for most of the first half, but strong defensive work from Ben Garuccio limited any chances on goal until Angus Thurgate’s shot just after the half-hour mark left the Jets thinking they had scored. It inspired the Jets, with United keeper Jamie Young called on several times to keep the scores level. Just as it looked like the sides would head into the interval locked at 0-0, Lachie Wales popped up to open the scoring for the home side, slotting into an empty net after an error from Jets goalkeeper Jack Duncan. After the break, an early sighter from Dylan Wenzel-Halls forced Duncan into a good save, with United immediately getting on the front foot in search of a second goal. But the Jets level just after the hour, with Daniel Penha thundering in a free-kick from outside the penalty box. Substitute Dylan Pierias thought he had United back in front in the 76th minute when he diverted Aleksandar Prijovic’s header into the back of the net, but it was called offside. However it was just three minutes later that Prijovic latched onto a long ball from captain Alessandro Diamanti and put United in front. United was then able to hang on for the win, with Young making two saves in the final five minutes. Western United will be back at GMHBA Stadium this week as it kicks off its A-League season with a clash against Melbourne Victory. Almost 13,000 fans will be allowed to watch in-person, with the state government allowing the game to go ahead with 50 per cent of the stadium filled. Ash Bolt

GMHBA named T20 host By Ash Bolt Geelong has been locked in as one of seven host cities for next year’s ICC T20 World Cup. GMHBA Stadium was picked as one of seven stadiums to host games during the international tournament in October and November next year. It has not been confirmed how many games Geelong will host, but it will host group stage games in the 16-team tournament. The tournament will feature 45 games, with Adelaide, Brisbane, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney also picked as host venues. Semi-finals will be played at the SCG and Adelaide on November 9 and 10, before the final is played under lights at the MCG on November 13.

... bringing the world’s best and most dynamic players to our shores

’’

- Michelle Enright Monday morning. ICC Men’s T20 World Cup local organising committee chief executive Michelle Enright said it was an “amazing platform” to see the Australian team “try to defend their title in front of Aussie fans in 2022”. “In exactly eleven months … Australia will host the next edition of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, bringing the world’s best and most dynamic players to our shores for an unmissable event in October and November next year. “With the unprecedented disruptions over the past two years, bringing the ICC Men’s T20

World Cup to Australia for the first time offers a perfect opportunity for fans across the whole country to experience the joy of a live global sporting event again. “World Cups unite people with the common thread of a love for cricket. We can’t wait to welcome fans of all ages and backgrounds to the world class venues across the seven Australian host cities to support their teams. “The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in 2020 produced some incredible moments and created memories that will live with Australian cricket fans forever. Now it’s time for the men’s event to take centre stage and claim its own place in history.” The world cup was supposed to be held last year, with Geelong also due to host matches, but was delayed due to the COVID pandemic. Full fixtures for the tournament will be released in January, with tickets going on sale from January 31.

Wild weather stirs up snapper ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos The weather has been shocking to say the least however anglers that are keen enough to get out and have a crack have been landing some nice fish. The Geelong Yacht Club has been fishing very well with the wild weather for snapper, when its rough it just seems to stir everything up in there. Fish to seven kilograms have been caught with plenty of anglers losing much bigger fish on both soft plastics and bait. Small tinnies and kayaks that have been able to get inside and cast hard up on the structure have been doing best, fishing on an evening tide change just outside it would be ideal if in a bigger boat. The outer harbour has been a little slow, mainly due to the low water temperature but hopefully if we get some warmer days the temperature will increase and the fish should feed. In close around Clifton Springs has had plenty of pinkies cruise through, anglers casting soft plastics have had great success with anything from the gulp range being a standout. The channel has probably been the most productive area in terms of fish over about three kilograms, once again fishing a tide change has definitely made all the difference to the anglers having success. Calamari are holding in decent numbers off Clifton Springs through to Portarlington and even the other direction towards Hermsley. Size 3.0 jigs have been working very well, especially the Shimano Egixile jig range. The crater lakes have been fishing very well for both brown and rainbow trout as well as Chinook salmon for both bait and lure fisherman. Purrumbete at first and last night has been super productive on the lake edges for anglers casting hardbody lures. Lake Bullen Merri has been fishing well during the day down rigging, flat line trolling and bait fishing. Trolling with tassie devils and original rapalas are the go-to lures and pilchard fillets are the best baits to soak. The Goulburn River has been a great option with all the rain and wind with the river trout chewing really well. Dylan Pace managed about a dozen trout (browns and rainbows) to 45cm on soft plastics rigged on a 1/20th jig head and norries laydown minnows. Dylan also managed to land some good fish sight casting scrub worms too.

Ladies eager to return to the court LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers Tennis is now back into full swing with triples, Saturday juniors and seniors, and Tuesday midweek all on court this week, with a feeling of life getting closer to normal. Tuesday’s midweek ladies were keen to get some match practice after a rollercoaster-like season. COVID has not been kind to the Tuesday midweek ladies competition with three of the last four seasons not coming to a suitable conclusion, including the current winter season where grand finals were originally scheduled to be played next week.

The season started as planned but after the first week, play stalled for two weeks due to lockdowns. Rounds five and six were played after much uncertainty, but play was again put on hold when the state plunged back into lockdown. Eventually the season was cancelled, but the ladies, in true midweek fashion, were keen to make the most of the weeks they had available. The committee worked a three-week draw for the teams that were interested in getting some practice and well needed social interaction. Of the original 63 teams, 42 are enjoying the hit out across seven sections. In some instances, teams have only been

able to field three players instead of the usual four, but as the rounds are being treated as practice matches, they are being played nonetheless and in good spirits. The weather has not been particularly kind to the players for the first two rounds, with windy conditions in round one and with rain causing a delayed start for some matches this week, but the forecast for next week looks a little better, so the ladies will be glad for some sunshine. Next week will be the final week before the Christmas break with the new summer season scheduled to begin February 1, where hopefully the season can proceed uninterrupted.
