Local projects boom

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG’S billion dollar-plus investment boom is continuing, with a renewed emphasis on a technology and health-driven economy.

Road, hospital, residential, arts and retail projects worth $1.2 billion are underway and further regional projects worth $582 million are awaiting a start.

Another $1 billion in projects are on the drawing board.

The building boom is in stark contrast to recent reports highlighting the vulnerability of the region’s economy and hidden joblessness.

The list of projects in the building boom excludes more than $1.3 billion of “confidential investment enquiries” for Geelong Ring Road Employment precinct that would create another 1000 jobs, Geelong’s council has confirmed .

Key projects underway include: Princes Hwy duplication to Winchelsea, $220 million; Geelong Hospital expansion $93 million; Baanip Blvd ring road link to Surf Coast Hwy, $90.4 million; New Norlane initiative, $80 million:

Plaza shopping centre and a $65 million St Mary’s Terrace residential and

commercial development in Myers St, Geelong.

Infrastructure works worth $500 million for Geelong’s booming port are on the drawing board, while City Hall is seeking $140 million for Simonds Stadium’s stage four and five redevelopment and $33 million for a Yarra St Pier.

Mayor Darryn Lyons said the growth of a variety of industries was a positive for Geelong.

He said construction delivered $1.95 billion to the Geelong economy per year and retailing $1.14 billion, making the two sectors the third and sixth largest industries in Geelong.

“Both industry sectors are reliable indicators of consumer confidence and, combined with other signifiers such as car registrations, births, and new ABNs, it’s very clear Geelong’s economy is buoyant if not booming.

“It’s evident that Geelong is certainly a lucrative and appealing place to invest.

“Geelong is acknowledged as one of the great lifestyle cities of Australia and it’s this fact that has contributed much to our continuing strong economic indicators.”

Innovation keeps city in manufacturing game GEELONG has been home to innovation and manufacturing excellence ever since James Harrison’s ground-breaking work on refrigeration showed the rest of the world what could be done.

Much has changed in 150 years but not Geelong region’s ability to seize opportunities, adapt and succeed.

Today, the Waurn Ponds-based Carbon Revolution team is leading the way with its production of the world’s first one-piece carbon fibre wheel. The

team is part of a growing band of innovation champions in the region.

When Victorian Manufacturing Minister David Hodgett opened the 2014 Geelong Innovation Expo recently, he focused the spotlight on Geelong success stories like Barrier Group, GD Engineering, AGB Engineers, Deakin University researchers, Carbon Nexus, Barwon Copying Group’s 3D printing, Sykes Racing and Solarone.

These companies are investing,

employing and putting considerable faith in Geelong.

Geelong Manufacturing Council chief executive officer David Peart says the region has many other unsung heroes of innovation and excellence.

“A standout example is Godfrey Hirst Carpets, one of the world’s top 10 carpet manufacturers. Another is Boundary Bend Olives, Australia’s largest producer of home-grown olive oil,” Mr Peart says.

“Together with companies such as Caron Laboratories, Barrier Group and Boomaroo Nurseries, they are part of a growing group of medium-sized companies who are leaders in their class, often with an export focus and a culture of continuous improvement.

“It’s really important we acknowledge these companies and support their growth in the region because they help diversify our economy and complement traditional industry.”

WE ARE GEELONG Innovative city keeps growing

Cr Darryn Lyons Mayor, City of Greater Geelong

My plan for Geelong

Geelong is a focus of federal attention, says Prime Minister Tony Abbott.

GEELONG is a great part of Australia to work and live.

Sure, Geelong has some challenges ahead but the Coalition Government has a positive plan to build on Geelong’s many competitive strengths to make it an even better place to work and raise a family. Our plan will build better infrastructure, deliver programs to help local businesses grow and generate jobs and improve community services including the NDIS. I was pleased to be in Geelong 100 days after we were elected to announce funding to upgrade Victoria’s iconic Great Ocean Road, alongside local MP Sarah Henderson.

In the May budget the Government announced funding to deliver on our commitments to duplicate the Princes Hwy between Winchelsea and Colac and to build the East West Link.

Building better roads will generate jobs and benefit local businesses during construction – it will also deliver long-term benefits so people spend less time in traffic jams and more time with their families, so businesses can get their goods and services to market faster and our export and tourism industries can be more competitive.

Geelong has some of Australia’s best manufacturers and a highly-skilled workforce. We are committed to supporting workers affected by the closure of Ford and Alcoa to help them move to even better jobs and assist affected businesses to diversify and grow.

Since we were elected senior Government ministers have been in Geelong regularly working with Ms Henderson and Mayor Darryn Lyons to develop and deliver programs required to meet these challenges.

We’re helping businesses grow with our $155 million growth fund to create the manufacturing jobs of the

future, targeting areas impacted by manufacturing industry changes.

A new $480 million Entrepreneurs’ Infrastructure Programme will equip small to medium enterprises with the management and business skills to expand and a $470 million Industry Skills Fund investment will deliver the skills being sought by employers.

Removal of the carbon tax will also be a key step to reducing costs and cutting red tape for business.

The Government is delivering on its commitment to introduce Trade Support Loans for apprentices to encourage more young people to take trades and complete their qualifications. The new loans, repayable once earning a sustainable income, provide up to $20,000 over the life of an apprenticeship to help ease the financial burden on young apprentices and to increase apprenticeship completion rates.

We want the Geelong community to have good infrastructure, great businesses and more jobs and, just as importantly, we want people to have access to the best community services.

Our first budget delivers increased funding for Victorian schools and hospital services every year.

Geelong will be the national leader for the NDIS, the trial of which is now well underway and we are preparing for the full roll out. The NDIS headquarters will bring new jobs and expertise to Geelong.

Geelong is always on the ball - and our Government has the positive plan to ensure that the Geelong banner continues to fly high.

The Hon Tony Abbott MP Prime Minister of Australia

1141234-KC28-14

THE GEELONG region is currently experiencing strong population growth largely driven by our attractive lifestyle and this is bringing with it a consequent upsurge in economic activity.

While our region’s economy is currently undergoing major diversification, manufacturing remains the largest contributor to our gross regional product, and this will continue to be the case for some time to come.

Key economic growth sectors at present include education and training, health care, professional, scientific and technical services, construction and tourism.

Diverse strategy work is being implemented across the Mayor Darryn Lyons region to manage our population growth, support business development and ensure a sustainable future.

An innovative business culture and strong spirit of collaboration across the public and private sector are major strengths of our region and are major factors driving our growing prosperity.

Many significant investment projects are now underway to meet current and future growth demands.

These projects include major road duplications and extensions, recycled water infrastructure, new and upgraded health and education facilities and globally significant research centres.

One of our great assets is our 80,000-strong workforce, almost 90 per cent of which is locally sourced.

We have a tremendous spread of expertise across that workforce, and the continuing growth of our education sector – Deakin University’s course enrolments are growing by around five per cent a year can only enhance the attractions of this locally available workforce.

I commend the Geelong Independent’s initiative in promoting the great things that are happening in our area.

Geelong’s arts a key to growth

By PAUL MILLAR

Harold Septimus Power’s 1920’s A Shell-Swept Road, part of the latest Geelong Gallery exhibition.

Gallery plans expansion as visits surge ‘WE ARE Geelong’ could well be the catch-cry of the city’s gallery, which opened its doors in 1896 and is still drawing bumper crowds to its diverse range of exhibitions and events.

Geelong Gallery had more than 67,000 visitors last financial year, up 4000 on the previous 12 months and with no signs of the growth faltering.

The boom is largely attributed to putting on the right mix of exhibitions, featuring works of art by some of Australia’s leading artists, along with celebrating the region’s history in the popular exhibition Impressions of Geelong – a Portrait

of the City and its Region.

That exhibition bumped up the numbers, striking a chord and stimulating a belief that the latest offering, The Great War – a Graphic Legacy, will attract another large audience to the gallery.

The Great War exhibition brings together works by some of the early 20th Century’s finest artists, capturing the realities and impact of war from different national perspectives.

Coinciding with the centenary of the outbreak of World War I, the powerful exhibition features 35 works including prints and drawings.

Gallery director Geoffrey Edwards says initiatives are already in place to make the Little Malop St venue even more attractive to visitors.

“Our current planning for the gallery’s future as an exhilarating community destination has just been fast-tracked with the Premier’s announcement of funding for a business case study,” Mr Edwards says.

“This will examine all manner of options for our visitors, including additional exhibition spaces, interactive workshops, lecture rooms and other facilities expected of a 21st Century gallery.”

Geoffrey Edwards

THE FACE of cultural Geelong is undergoing more than cosmetic surgery.

A major reconstruction is underway to meet a growing demand, delivering the technology to attract and connect with the community.

Work is proceeding on a $45 million nine-storey Geelong Library and Heritage Centre redevelopment which will become the heartbeat of a pulsating arts precinct when it opens late next year.

The domed centre is integrated in a push to make the city more attractive to investors and businesses relocating to the region.

But other operators are ahead of the game, with Geelong Gallery visitations surging and the city’s nearby performing arts centre drawing more than 200,000 patrons annually.

Centre general manager Jill Smith says the demand is growing with the population.

“We’re doing well but we won’t be able to keep up with future demands,’’ she says.

Geelong Performing Arts Centre was built in 1981 when Geelong’s population was 126,000 but it’s now double, putting pressure on the centre.

Hugo T Armstrong, who operates the Blues Train and Motor City Music

A concept image of the redeveloped Geelong Library and Heritage Centre.

Festival, says Geelong has potential to spare in arts and culture but needs to broaden its appeal.

“A key transition is making this a real university town and to do that we must make students want to study here. The will to do it is there but it’s time we kicked more goals.”

Mr Armstrong says Newcastle, for example, has invested heavily in arts and culture and is now attracting visitors from Sydney for weekend stays.

Geelong could follow a similar blueprint to tap more business from the short-term-stay market, he believes.

“We have an incredible city on the waterfront. We have it all on our doorstep, we just need to increase and promote the products on offer.

“Three and four-day stays with people from the west of Melbourne are what we should be attracting to the city.”

Our city’s treasure Treat yourself by visiting the Geelong Gallery, one of Australia’s leading and oldest regional galleries, right in the heart of the city.

From iconic colonial masterpieces to compelling contemporary works of art, the Geelong Gallery is the perfect place to unwind and be inspired.

Each year the Gallery presents a vibrant program of temporary exhibitions along with a diverse range of artist talks, tours, workshops, lectures and familyfriendly activities.

Confidence up with publicity MAYOR Darryn Lyons’ “sustained publicity” for Geelong is “providing confidence” to the business sector, according to a developers’ lobby group.

Urban Development Institute of Australia Victoria chapter executive director Tony De Domenico said the mayor was highlighting the city’s “lifestyle values and investment opportunities”.

The impact was good for property developers and other parts of the business community, Mr De Domenico said.

He praised the “current” cando attitude at City of Greater Geelong to encourage development and investment”.

The community was benefitting through the creation of jobs “that will help build a local sustainable economy,” he said.

“Geelong has an extremely bright future with a growing population, increased activity in

Tony De Domenico addressing a recent UDIA meeting at The Pier. major education institutions and government agencies locating to Geelong, an existing 15,000 business base and housing affordability.”

Mr De Domenico said Geelong’s central business precinct was particularly attractive for its “extensive opportunities for investment and redevelopment

as the population grows”.

Central Geelong investors could also capitalise on its coastal position, “a major advantage with apartments to offer a range of housing choices and bay views”, he said.

“Geelong, with an existing population of 215,000 and a signature waterfront overlooking Corio Bay, plus being close to Melbourne with improving transport links, (is) one of the most attractive lifestyle environments in regional Victoria.”

Mr De Domenico noted existing development activity in the region at locations such as Armstrong Creek, Drysdale, Waurn Ponds, Torquay and Curlewis.

“We see the development activity maintaining strong growth with affordability playing a major part, as the median house prices between Melbourne and Geelong historically varying by up to $200,000,” he said.

Little Creatures has found an ideal home in South Geelong’s former Valley Worsted Mills site.

Little Creatures at home in city LITTLE Creatures Brewery’s new $60 million complex in Geelong is going gangbusters after opening late last year.

Brett Grebert, the head of craft beer at Little Creatures parent company Lion Group, says Geelong has embraced the brewery.

“We’re delighted at the way the community has welcomed us - it’s been nothing short of phenomenal,” Mr Grebert says.

“The ethos for Little Creatures is to really create a space where everyone feels comfortable.

“We try to bring the community in. We’ve done a lot of showcases of local artists in our venue, we have Sunday community markets every fortnight, tours every day - all trying to create a space which is very welcoming for the community.”

Mr Grebert says establishing the brewery in Geelong’s former Valley Worsted Mills was an easy choice for Little Creatrues.

“We had a lot of growth from the east coast and, knowing fresh beer is best, we were looking to set up an area where we could be an active part of the community.

“Geelong offered an opportunity for us to access local ingredients, which is very, very important, and we were looking at rejuvenating old buildings.

Apply those all together - fresh-

The brewer makes its bou-

Research key to prosperity

By NOEL MURPHY SILK fibres in artificial eardrums, invisible materials, hydrogen fuel, stunning atom-thick graphene 100 times stronger than steel, self-changing carbon fibre technology, stem cell breakthroughs...

The research taking place in Geelong right now is nothing short of remarkable. Groundbreaking is almost flippant as a description given the results have global ramifications across so many areas.

Think defence, aeronautics, motoring, textiles, health, agriculture, vaccines, sport, energy - and that’s just scratching the surface.

Geelong’s economy might be cited as in transition but the reality is it’s more like the future unfolding.

New science, new technology, new materials and intellectual property – all emerging rapidly – are underpinning a new reputation for Geelong, one that dovetails neatly into new enterprises, many of them with far-reaching impact across the region and the globe.

Major players include Deakin University, the CSIRO, Barwon Health, collaborations such as the Centre for Emerging Infectious Diseases – even Ford which, despite its manufacturing cull, is striving ahead with production development to be used across Asia and the Pacific.

Medical research alone is producing striking results in mental health, cancer, neuroscience, cardiology, nutrition, population health and more.

The CSIRO is across fibres, polymers, electronics, sensing, aerospace, minerals discovery, batteries, biomedical devices, polymer banknotes, cold-spray technology, livestock diseases and more as well.

Deakin’s research quotient is formidable. Even a smattering of its efforts reveal the likes of plasma and thermal discoveries, iPad apps for kids with autism,

Alfred Deakin Research Fellow Clifford Liongue searching for clues to lymphoma. prosthetic eardrums, cybercrime detection techniques and materials for planes and cars memorytrained to assume varying shapes under differing conditions.

Automotive, shipping, naval, aerospace sectors all stand to benefit from Geelong research.

Sport is gaining from superstrong, lightweight 3D-printer titanium. The impact of graphene

research is tipped to change just about everything, starting with internet connection one million times faster than existing speeds.

Anyone who thought manufacturing was dying should realise that the implications, the possibilities, presented by these and many more technologies being worked up in Geelong will only be limited by imagination.

Barwon Health’s new ICU at Geelong Hospital.

Jobs for 6000 at Barwon Health BARWON Health is one of the largest and most comprehensive regional health services in Australia, providing care at all stages of life and circumstance.

Services available through Barwon Health cover primary care, community services, aged care, rehabilitation, mental health, emergency and acute care.

As the largest employer in Geelong and the Surf Coast region, employing over 6000 staff, Barwon Health offers a wide range of opportunities, with a broad range of work in acute, mental health, aged care, administration and support services.

Working at Barwon Health offers diversity with varied areas of

expertise and locations. The dedicated education and training department provides staff with access to opportunities to improve their knowledge and skill bases.

Barwon Health is an evolving organisation, recently significantly expanding its commitment and capacity for clinical service, research and teaching. The organisation is now recognised as one of Victoria’s leading providers of not only direct healthcare but also of training to the health-care sector.

Barwon Health has a number of building projects in place, with developments that will contribute to future-proofing its capacity to provide highest-level health ser-

vices to the growing population of the Geelong region.

A newly developed 24-bed Intensive Care Unit is perhaps the most-significant of the recent building projects. Officially opened in June, the ICU is a great source of pride for staff and the community has shown extensive support surrounding this new addition to Geelong Hospital.

Barwon Health is proud to have the support of over 1000 dedicated volunteers who donate 65,000 hours of service each year across all departments of the organisation. The commitment of the volunteers contributes to positive outcomes and experiences of consumers and supports the vital work of Barwon Health’s staff.

Servicing Geelong and surrounding regions since 1985 B

yars Packaging was established in 1985.

Before starting the business, Daryl Byars worked for a paper bag manufacturer in Melbourne.

Like many start up operations, when Daryl decided to start his own business, he started it from home in his garage.

Within two weeks, he needed a bigger site.

He found a small warehouse in Dowsett Street, South Geelong, where he continued to grow the business to the point where they were packing orders in the driveway because the warehouse was full to overflowing.

By 1991, Daryl was moving his business again, this time to a site in Fyans Street, in a purpose-built warehouse complex.

As the Geelong region’s specialist packing supplier, Byars Packaging has continued to steadily grow.

Daryl’s two sons joined the business, and as the business in Geelong grew, so too did the demand for packaging of all shapes and sizes.

Looking back on the development of his business, Daryl said just like every other business, Byars has had its ups and downs.

The boom of small businesses throughout Geelong and surrounding regions has seen demand grow just as rapidly.

Today, the majority of Byars’ customers are small business owners, retail business owners, retail businesses, bakeries and takeaway food businesses, and business is booming.

Over the past five years, Daryl said that the Byars has grown dramatically.

The Fyans Street premises holds around 5,000 different types of packaging products - from paper and plastic bags to wrapping papers, gift wrap products such as ribbons, tapes, bubble wraps and industrial packaging.

In the warehouse, there is a product for just about any packaging purpose you can think of.

In the past, businesses in Geelong would have gone to Melbourne or further to order packaging, but with the growth in Byars Packaging, many of those businesses have the convenience and time saving that comes with having their packaging needs supplied locally.

Byars has clients covering the entire Geelong region and neighbouring regions, from Geelong to the Bellarine Peninsula, along the Surf Coast to Apollo Bay, and also Ballarat, Bacchus Marsh, Melton and Werribee.

Through all the ups and downs, and particularly through the large-scale growth years, Daryl said he has been lucky to have dedicated, skilled and long-term staff members.

As well as having two sons working in the business, he said most of his staff have been with Byars around fifteen years.

‘The boom of small businesses throughout Geelong and surrounding regions has seen demand grow just as rapidly.’

Volunteers worth millions to region

By PAUL MILLAR TRUCKERS might think they keep the country moving but volunteers are the silent achievers who keep Geelong ticking over.

Statistics show that almost 32,000 locals regard themselves as volunteers, donating 1.5 million hours of their time and saving the community about $4.2 million annually in wages.

That figure could be wellunder the mark because many locals might have failed to list themselves as volunteers in the past census despite serving in voluntary roles.

Volunteering Geelong’s Gail Rodgers says people will always donate time to roles such as sports coaches and hospital aides but the sector was constantly reinventing itself as, for example, aging mealson-wheels providers eventually become service seekers.

Volunteering opportunities for retirees or anyone made redundant later in their working lives sparked interest at a recent jobs fair in Geelong during discussions with unemployed guests, she says.

“When we asked them if they were interested in volunteering and showed them the options their eyes lit up.

Pivot Stove and Heating’s Moorabool St store.

Volunteer Ces Earley plays indoor soccer against inmates at Margoneet Prison.

“You have to understand that manufacturing workers have real life skills and there are a lot of activities they can tap into, like learner-driver mentoring.

“Then there are those that just want to dip their toe in the water and try something different, work on a project, become involved. Volunteering is a tan-

gible experience, it increases self-esteem and confidence.”

Cec Earley a sprightly 76-year-old who trained as a welder in his native Belfast, has never been busier since hanging up his mask, at least temporarily.

He worked as a volunteer on charity ship Logos, visiting

third-world countries to provide books and hope.

Cec makes a trip to Lara’s Marngoneet Prison every month with his soccer shoes in his kitbag for a game of five-a side with the inmates.

“They’re pretty good. I guess they get a lot of time to practice,” Cec says.

FEW BUSINESSES can boast almost 140 years continuous operations in Geelong.

Pivot Stove & Heating’s ties with Geelong are imbued in its very name.

Pivot City was the nickname given Geelong in the 1860s for its role as a shipping and rail transport hub to Melbourne, Ballarat and the western district. James Alexander Parker’s Pivot Stove, Australia’s first manufacturer of wood stoves, started out in 1876 high on the Moorabool St hill and is still flourishing there today. The store’s as much a Geelong institution as the T&G Building or Cunningham Pier, perhaps even moreso.

Times have changed, of course, as has Pivot Stove & Heating’s technology - think gas log fires, 30-plus wood heaters and stoves, electric flame heaters – but Greg Parker-Hill says the store, at 234-238 Moorabool St, remains as much a commercial fixture, even a geographical landmark, as ever.

So too does a Geelong-centric business ethic of sourcing whatever it can locally, helping ensure Pivot supports the local community and vice versa. In these days of changing retail habits it’s crucial, says Mr Parker-Hill, the business’s chief executive officer.

“One thing Geelong needs to do is focus because it’s going to get tough,” he stresses.

The early shopfront of the Parker family business.

“We need people to focus on Geelong and spend in Geelong, that way money’s recycled in Geelong.

“Our head office and showroom employ lots of Geelong people directly and indirectly. I love the fact that money’s staying where I’ve been born and bred.”

One thing Parker-Hill loves about Geelong and doesn’t want changed is the habit of locals directing each other through town by landmarks rather than Melway references, street names or, heaven forbid, GPS coordinates.

“People elsewhere don’t tell you things like, ‘It’s just up the road from Kardinia Park, or go past Pivot and turn right’. You don’t get that in Melbourne or Sydney,” he says.

“So head up the hill to Pivot – you’ll be doing Geelong a right turn.”

Port brings region prosperity Trade through Port of Geelong is booming, creating valuable jobs and revenue for the region.

THE SHIPS that call at Port of Geelong carry more than cargo.

Their presence and the trades they serve help keep thousands of people in jobs across the region and generate hundreds of millions of dollars of economic activity annually for Victoria.

Their cargos include grain, woodchips, fertiliser and oil but they also carry confidence into the bayside city.

Victorian Regional Channels Authority (VRCA) knows the port is vital to Geelong’s prosperity.

The authority manages the shipping lanes in Corio Bay and is committed to en-

suring they provide safe, efficient passage now and for the next generation of larger ships in the world fleet.

VRCA chief executive officer Captain Peter McGovern says ships are a familiar sight in the bay.

“They’re part of the landscape to most Geelong people,’’ Capt McGovern says.

“But some people probably don’t realise the value that sails with them. These ships, the port and the businesses that use it are an integral part of the strong weave of Geelong’s economic fabric.’’

Ships visiting the port include: oil tanker Nivosa, the largest, longest

ship to visit Geelong, with a 265-metre hull more than three and a half times as long as Simonds Stadium’s light towers are high; large oil tankers carrying about 89,000 cubic metres of cargo, enough in liquid to cover Simonds Stadium’s playing surface to a depth of 4.5m; and dry bulk vessels that receive over 55,000 tonnes of wheat, sailing from port with more than $15 million dollars of grain per load. Annual grain exports from the port have exceeded two million tonnes in recent years.

Developer adds skills to city’s revitalisation VILLAWOOD Properties executive director Rory Costelloe has been appointed to a working committee that will oversee the implementation of a 15-year blueprint to rejuvenate Geelong’s city centre.

Central Geelong Taskforce will drive an action plan to deliver 10 priority projects and other key actions to create a smart, thriving city centre.

A long-term Geelong resident, Mr Costelloe boasts 30-years’ experience in local government, engineering and broad-acre development management.

“I’m honoured to have been selected to this new committee and to be able to work with influential community leaders such as Mayor Darryn Lyons, Cr Michelle Heagney, Cr Andy Richards, City of Greater Geelong acting CEO Dean Frost and other new taskforce members,” he said.

“The committee is a fantastic ini-

tiative to ensure our great city continues to grow and prosper.”

With formal qualifications in engineering, Mr Costelloe contributes to a range of sector boards and leadership committees as well as industry, academic and government thinktanks. He is on the board of directors at Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) Victoria chapter as well as RMIT’s planning advisory committee, and is a guest lecturer for the university’s planning and property department. He is also a Fellow of the Victorian Planning and Environmental Law Assocation (VPELA).

Mr Costelloe has travelled extensively over the past 14-years on every bi-annual UDIA/VPELA Study Tour. He has seen first-hand many examples of urban renewal, giving him an abundance of creative ideas to contribute to the committee.

City growth a key for VECCI JOBS, infrastructure, skills and international engagement are the vital issues that Victoria’s peak business body, VECCI, is urging the major political parties to focus on for the good of Geelong in the 2014 state election.

“Geelong has a solid economic base and industries with growth potential such as health, tourism, education, ICT and agribusiness,” says VECCI chief executive Mark Stone.

“However, it is essential the major parties accelerate growth with policies that drive further investment, confidence and business activity.

“VECCI recently launched in Geelong the key priorities that it believes the major parties must address to win the support of business in the upcoming election.”

VECCI’s Taking Care of Business recommendations include: lifting the threshold at which businesses start paying payroll tax to $850,000 - bringing payroll relief to 40,000 businesses across the state, including those in the Geelong region, and generating more jobs; reconstructing Yarra Street Pier to encourage growth in cruise ship numbers, improve water access, support major events and enhance other recreation, economic and tourism opportunities; commencing construction of East West Link stages one and two, giving greater access to

and from Melbourne for Geelong residents; increasing VET in schools funding to reduce youth unemployment and stimulate apprenticeships and traineeships; committing $75 million to Victoria’s international engagement strategy; and capitalising on the opportunity to export Victoria’s healthcare services, in which Geelong is

a major participant in activities such as training, ICT management and medical research and development.

“A strong business sector means a financially healthier region. We’re calling on the next government to commit to our recommendations, to accelerate growth and secure future prosperity for Geelong,” Mr Stone says.

VECCI’s full agenda is available at vecci.org.au.

VECCI’s 2014 state election business agenda for Geelong Geelong has a solid economic base but the major parties must accelerate growth with policies that drive further investment, conidence and business activity.

Priority areas: Jobs – Boost employment and lower business costs.

Infrastructure – Redevelop Yarra Street Pier and invest in vital road and rail links.

The Geelong College year three student Isabella hard at work during recess insulating the cubby.

College kids ‘inspire’ principal THE Geelong College strives to be a leader in learning by creating meaningful learning experiences to help students make a great and positive contribution to their world.

Principal Andrew Barr says the college’s learning programs help students “develop curiosity, imagination and confidence and to become compassionate, caring and thoughtful”.

“We also encourage them to learn to think and problemsolve as well as to develop independence, personal and social responsibility. We want to give them the tools they will need to be positive contributors to their world.”

Students regularly share their personal goals with Mr Barr, who is inspired by their global

perspective and aspiration.

“When I hear students tell me they want to make a difference to remote communities or to change the way we develop bionic limbs I know we are getting it right.”

Year 12 student Annabelle wants to use her writing skills and political knowledge to study law and journalism.

“I’m passionate about social equity, particularly gender equity.

To really make a difference in this area I’m aiming to be a diplomat.”

Another year 12 student, Mitch, wants to study biomedical engineering.

“I want to work with the Defence Advance Research Association in the USA to create bionic limbs for soldiers who have suffered amputation in the line of

duty. My designs could change the quality of someone’s life.”

Year three’s Isabella wants to be an architect.

“I like drawing, painting and anything that involves art and I want to design better buildings, like schools and hospitals, for everyone. I just love designing our cubby and constantly making it better.”

The Geelong College is a Uniting Church co-educational day and boarding school from early learning to year 12.

Limited places are available for prep and some other year levels in 2015.

An historic pictorial timeline of Geelong, showing, from left, settlement in 1853, looking south down Moorabool St from the bayfront in the late 1800s, the street’s former Victoria Hotel in 1910, Ford under construciton behind workers on Melbourne Rd in 1925 and Corio’s gleaming refinery in 1960.

Pictures: GEELONG HERITAGE CENTRE

Geelong’s endless transition toward a brighter future

By NOEL MURPHY GEELONG’S earliest days were distinctly bucolic; an agricultural outpost on the edge of the world set up by a clan of Tasmanians looking to boost their fortunes further afield.

The earliest images present a lightly wooded area rising south from the cliffs of Corio before falling away again to the salty waters of the Barwon River.

To the west was a heavily forested landscape where travellers from Melbourne occasionally found themselves disoriented.

The first houses were built along the Barwon but a busier settlement quickly emerged closer to the bay along present-day Corio Street. It was modest, rough and entrepreneurial.

Newcomers hungrily eyed the district’s west and the indigenes watched warily as their world was irreversibly changed.

Names like Thomson, Sutherland, Manifold, Stieglitz, Roadknight, Cowie, Stead, Learmonth and Pollock spearheaded the region’s pastoral and grazing interests. But there was no local government, the settlement’s boundaries weren’t clear, settlers lived in shacks and tents and roads were muddy, bumpy tracks at best.

That was 1836 through 1840. Confidence was strong and the tiny town grew steadily, despite a depression in the 1840s, through to the 1850s driven by farming, commerce and their many attendant industries.

Wool was the chief primary industry and would underpin the region’s economy for more than a century to come.

The roaring days of the 1850s Gold Rush spurred extraordinary growth across Geelong and the state as fortune-seekers poured into the country from Britain, China and around the world. The port powered ahead, welcoming newcomers, commuting residents to Melbourne, sending clippers overseas - from Point Henry and then later the present-day waterfront.

Any pretensions the indigenous folk might have held to maintaining their traditional way of life disappeared rapidly and forever.

Contemporary Geelong’s beautiful waterfront precinct neatly encapsulates the ongoing development of the City by the Bay, transitioning from a grimy industrial centre through to a lifestyle destination of boundless potential.

Industry burgeoned. Geelong’s initial wooden buildings were quickly replaced by impressive stone structures and the factories and mills generating all manner of top-quality textiles brought the antipodean town a glowing international epithet, Bradford of the South.

The town prospered, grew steadily. Bridges were

built, telephone exchanges opened and gas lamps gave way to electric street lights as radio stations, hospitals, football clubs and movie houses sprang up.

Then in 1925 a major turning point in Geelong’s fortunes - not unlike the economic transition it’s undergoing today - occurred with the arrival of US automaker Ford, which started producing its model T cars.

The days of the horse and cart and all their trades and commerce were all but gone forever.

Wool and textiles continued to flourish, commerce too – notwithstanding the devastating Great Depression and two world wars – and Geelong’s manufacturing base ramped up seriously with the 1954 start-up of Shell and hundreds of new jobs.

Proud to be part of the Geelong community since 1926.

1144127-EG28-14

Immigrants flooded into the city, many living in makeshift packing crate houses, their children learning the basics of English in the schoolyard at North Geelong Primary.

A decade later, Alcoa arrived with its gigantic smelter at Point Henry, an operation that grew to become Victoria’s largest export income-earner.

Picture: REG RYAN For years, the auto, aluminium, oil and textile industries stood as the bedrock of Geelong manufacturing, driving numerous smaller industries and constituting a significant jobs base for the region that supported its retail and commerce sectors and dovetailed neatly with a large public sector base as well.

Ongoing political pressure, however, from tariff

cuts aimed at encouraging competition, productivity, offshore earnings and cheaper products has irrevocably changed Geelong’s manufacturing base.

Textile industries were the first to feel the heat and the pain. The auto and aluminium industries are following suit, with thousands of jobs going west.

Shell’s manufacturing operations might yet cease, too.

Stepping into the breech now is a raft of new industries, new business enterprises, education and health sectors, many of them quietly growing stronger over the past decade but, now, increasingly important and increasingly well equipped for the new 21st Century’s smarter, hopefully more sustainable economy.

Manufacturing has been the city’s largest employer, accounting for 20 per cent of the workforce, but the public sector, notably Barwon Health, Deakin University, the Department of Education, local government, TAC, WorkCover and the NDIS are increasingly the leading employers. Cotton On and Target continue employing their fair share in the retail sector.

Significant hopes have been invested in transport hub ambitions at Avalon but are still evolving and not without their difficulties. Even so, its prospects as an air, rail, sea and road interchange - with all their job opportunities - cannot be dismissed as Melbourne’s urban sprawl moves inexorably toward Geelong.

A sustainable economy demands research, cuttingedge developments, new areas of expertise, infrastructure, cultural and community assets. In all of these areas, Geelong has been growing from strength to strength.

Research underpins much of the broader economy’s prospects and Geelong’s quotient in this regard is remarkable with breakthroughs across the spectrum, including with stem cells, hydrogen fuel, carbon fibre, graphene, emerging infectious diseases, obesity and much more.

Upgrading the Geelong’s CBD and its waterfront are ongoing long-term projects to transform and enhance Geelong, while growing cultural sophistication - arts, eateries, heritage and suchlike - combined with education, health, recreational assets are important drivers to help new employers lure staff to the region.

To this end, Geelong is aggressively seeking investors by extolling the region’s virtues. Combined with its proximity to the Surf Coast, the Bellarine Peninsula and Otways, it’s not hard to see Geelong as an attractive alternative to the frenetic, gridlocked hubbub of metropolitan Melbourne.

Proud to be part of the Geelong community since 1926.

Geelong focus of BAE’s team

Everybody needs a family doctor

BAE AUTOMATION offers a one-stop service for commercial building automation.

The team at BAE specialises in air-conditioning and lighting controls, mechanical electrical switchboards and energy management.

Established in 1996 at Colac, the company has since relocated its office and warehouse to North Geelong.

The past 18 years of service have seen the company grow rapidly, now calling its main customers Barwon Health, Deakin University, Federation University, St John of God and Geelong Grammar.

Managing director Ben Iannello says that even when BAE was still based in Colac most of its work was in the Geelong region.

“We’ve just finished Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre, we’re in the process of completing Waurn Ponds Police Station and SES

BAE Automation’s Xavier Zabalegui and Ben Iannello. complex, and we’ve just started doing the new Deakin University CADET building.

“We’re also currently involved with the new Geelong Grammar centre for creative education.”

Mr Iannello says a focus on continued customer support has inspired a new division in the business, BAE Automation Technologies.

“We not only install the building automation systems but now

we’re continuing to maintain and support them through their lifecycle.”

Managing director of technologies Xavier Zabalegui says BAE is dedicated to serving western Victorian communities “to make buildings more comfortable and energy-efficient”.

BAE is also involved in supporting community projects and local graduates.

“We’ve always been involved in supporting local school activities, both here and in Colac,” Mr Iannello says.

“We’ve also employed Deakin University engineering graduates and have had them carry out internship work for us.”

Mr Iannello believes that the Geelong region should try to support local business rather than Melbourne-based companies.

“We’re a local company - I’ve got a great team and we hope we can service and provide personalised support to our customers.”

Isuzu site a big win for dealer Removalist wins new achiever awards CRICHTON Removals is now a multiple winner of the Australian Achiever Awards.

The North Geelong-based company has again won the Relocation, Removals & Storage category after also claiming the title in 2007 and 2008.

Crichton also has four highly-recommendation awards from recent years.

The Australian Achiever Awards are an independent award system that bases its assessment on ratings from the nominated companies’ clients.

The criteria for the award includes time-related services and client needs, with a focus on attitude, communication and attention to detail.

Crichton Removals general manager

Daryl Pagan describes the business as “family-owned with attention to detail in all areas of work from start to finish”.

“Winning the award assures potential customers that we’re an accredited and acknowledged company, and all jobs will be carried out professionally.”

Crichton Removals selects members for its 12-strong team based on a strict process including an extensive induction and regular training in safety and customer service procedures.

After taking over Crichton Removals eleven years ago, Daryl and Marie Pagan say business is booming.

“Our six trucks are kept very busy with

both local and interstate moves,” Daryl says.

The company started as a small furniture removalist in 1960 but quickly grew to a well-respected business carrying out commercial and residential relocations and has short and long-term furniture storage available.

Crichton Removals’ also offers its own household pre-packing service.

To help ensure a smooth relocation, Crichton can provide a household inspection prior to the move date so that client’s individual needs are successfully met.

Clients can phone Crichton Removals on 5272 1072 to discuss moving requirements.

Graeme Ruby at Winter&Taylor’s new Isuzu premises. in May, offers sales of new and used trucks, full servicing, all parts and onsite finance.

“We’ve been looking at this development for close to 10 years through the purchase and construction phases,” he says.

It’s that kind of meticulous attention to detail that has made the new centre a landmark commercial enterprise.

And with that same meticulous attention to customer needs – Isuzu offers not just reliability and peace of mind but also the most-comprehensive customer care program ever seen in the Australian truck market – Winter & Taylor Isuzu believes it will be serving Geelong well for the next 100 years.

1142417-KC27-14

Crichton Removals’ Shannon McIntosh with Daryl, Marie and Sarah Pagan and the company’s Australian Achiever Awards.

A CENTURY of expertise in service, sales and maintenance has made Winter & Taylor a Geelong motoring institution.

With a spanking-new, multi-million Isuzu Truck centre just opened at Corio - with staff on call from 7.30am right through to 1am – it’s setting the pace for the next century, too.

Winter & Taylor was established in 1908, back when the new-fangled automobile was still embryonic. In 1926 it became a General Motors dealer.

Today, with its massive new Winter & Taylor Isuzu at the corner of Princes Hwy and School Rd, it’s continuing a lengthy tradition that has made it one of Geelong’s and regional Victoria’s most successful Isuzu dealerships.

The formula for success has always been simple: quality products, experienced staff and outstanding customer service – the fundamentals of good business and values that still ring true today.

The third generation of the Morphy family continues steering Winter & Taylor Isuzu, with James Morphy assuming control in 2001.

The dealership has continued to grow, offering a broad range of products and services to customers.

A SERIES of major projects lead an impressive list of investment in local education, transport, public safety, health and sporting facilities.

Member for South Barwon Andrew Katos says the projects help build a better Geelong by advancing the region’s economic infrastructure and driving sustainable jobs growth.

Among the big-ticket items are the western section of East/ West Link, providing significant benefits for Geelong commuters.

“The project will save travel time from Geelong to Melbourne and provide a second river crossing to take pressure off the West Gate and the M1,” Mr Katos says.

“Added to that, the $4.1 billion Regional Rail Link gives Geelong commuters dedicated tracks into Melbourne and more peak services when it is delivered next year plus there’s $25.9 million for the Grovedale Railway Station.”

“We’re also allocating $5 million from the Geelong Region Innovation and Investment Fund to Carbon Revolution to establish a $23.8 million wheel manufacturing plant in Geelong and create more than 150 new jobs.”

Mr Katos says significant investment in health includes $93 million for Geelong Hospital, $50 million for a new Waurn Ponds hospital and $28 million

for Barwon Health North.

Education investments in South Barwon include $37.5 million for construction of the new Surf Coast Secondary College and additional funding for a Torquay North Primary School.

Public safety is high on the priority list, with the $15.6 million Waurn Ponds police and SES complex to be completed this year.

South Barwon sport facilities are being improved to the tune of $3.37 million, including Torquay Bowls Club, South Barwon, Grovedale, Modewarre and Torquay football clubs, Highton Tennis Club and Barwon Soccer Club.

Dennis name part of region THE DENNIS family’s homebuilding operation has had an established base in the Geelong area for nearly 14 years.

Previously under the Executive, Triline and Glenbrae Home brands, Dennis Family Homes adopted its current name in late 2004.

The award-winning company has built a reputation for quality in its work, consistently ranking among Victoria’s leading volume builders.

The Dennis Family Homes Geelong office at 408 Latrobe Tce is complemented by three local display centres at Armstrong Creek and Ocean Grove.

“The Geelong region forms an

integral part of our regional operation and continues to expand through new development,” says the company’s Geelong area manager, Phillip Shaw.

“Our understanding of the property landscape in Geelong and surrounding areas is second to none. Anyone thinking about building a new home should talk to us first.

“We have an experienced team of locally-based sales consultants and administrative staff to help our customers and only engage expert local tradespeople to construct our homes.”

Dennis Family Homes offers more than 80 floor-plans across its entire product range, including

single and double-storey designs to suit all block sizes.

More information about Dennis Family Homes and directions to local display centres is available at dennisfamily.com.au or by phoning 5249 3300.

Dennis Family Homes support many charitable organisations throughout the Geelong region.

The company also supports the region’s economy by using local trades throughout its business and, wherever possible, local suppliers.

“We’re part of the Geelong community and look to support our community and local organisations wherever we can,” Mr Shaw says.

Geelong Grammar students learn to flourish the McKinsey Society’s 2010 report into education worldwide.

As the first school in the world to develop and deliver Positive Education, Geelong Grammar School is recognized as the leading practitioner in this growing field, which brings together the science of Positive Psychology with best practice teaching. Geelong Grammar School’s Positive Education programme focuses on specific skills that assist students to strengthen their relationships, build positive emotions, enhance personal resilience, promote mindfulness and encourage a healthy lifestyle. The School recently established an Institute of Positive Education to undertake research and share its knowledge with other schools. “We passionately believe that student wellbeing needs to be at the centre of education in order for the student, the school and ultimately society to flourish,” the Institute of Positive Education’s inaugural Director, Justin Robinson, explained. “We believe that the skills of wellbeing can be taught and are working to provide a robust evidence base to support this belief.”

The Institute has embarked upon a major four-year research project to examine how Positive Education can enhance adolescent mental health. The research project is being co-ordinated by The University of Melbourne and involves comprehensive studies at Geelong Grammar School and neighbouring government school Northern Bay College. The research will examine how the teaching of Positive Education can improve wellbeing and stimulate learning.

“This research has the potential to demonstrate that these skills can be taught at all schools, whether they are Geelong Grammar School or Northern Bay College,” Geelong Grammar School Principal, Stephen Meek, said. “I think that is incredibly exciting for the future of education worldwide.”

1142258-ACM28-14

Geelong Grammar School continues to build on its international reputation as a pioneer of modern education through the ongoing development of its transformational Positive Education programme. The School’s Principal, Stephen Meek, was invited to 10 Downing Street as part of a three-day UK Positive Education Summit last October. He flew back to Australia via Hong Kong to give a presentation about Positive Education to the Hong Kong Association of the Heads of Secondary Schools (HKAHSS). The School’s Vice Principal, Charlie Scudamore, was also overseas in October; giving the keynote address at the Masters of Applied Positive Psychology (MAPP) Summit at the University of Pennsylvania and delivering a presentation on Positive Education to Finland’s Ministry of Education and Culture – Finland’s education model was considered “the only excellent system in the world” by

“We love it when customers take their time to wander around the various sections of the store and explore,” Shelley says.

“We aim to be as helpful as possible without making the customer feel pressured, so it’s a more relaxed shopping experience.”

The Big Shed is still Geelong’s only drive-in furniture warehouse, with customers able to load their purchases into their cars or onto their trailers while protected from the elements.

Shelley says furniture packages offered even greater discounts on The Big Shed’s already competitive prices, with a delivery service also available.

Added to this is a floor-stock sale offering 20 per cent off.

The Big Shed is also a store within a store, with an expanded range of giftware including lamps, model cars, bar needs, plaques and signs, fire screens, towel rails, mirrors and prints.

Priority access for health care

COLD CUTS 10 PAGES OF LOCAL WINTER FASHIONS

GEELONG Private Hospital understands that an emergency admission can be fraught with stress and anxiety because as well as a medical issue to contend with the patient also faces the possibility of a hefty emergency-department fee requiring payment on discharge.

To ensure the greater Geelong community can access high-level health care services, Geelong Private Hospital has introduced a Priority Admission Service (PAS) that provides direct admission for privately insured cardiac and medical patients as well as DVA card-holders.

The PAS system also has the added benefit of no upfront fees.

In the event of a medical issue, the PAS service allows local GPs and Ambulance Victoria to refer cardiac and medical patients for a direct no-wait assessment and admission.

The PAS system is Geelong Private’s way of ensuring the best-possible health outcomes for the Geelong community.

The PAS hotline, for GPs and Ambulance Victoria, is 1300 474 727.

Encompass stands to ensure equal opportunities for all in Geelong for almost 30 years!

Do you know how it is to live with a disability? Although we have come a long way since people with disabilities were institutionalized, there is still lots of room for improvement in ensuring that people have equal opportunities and are treated with dignity and respect.

College trains farming skills FARMING will continue to be complex business, so the leading producers of the future will need to be at the forefront of technologies.

They will have the capacity to analyse, adopt and implement latest scientific practices into their food production systems.

With productivity growth central to the performance and international competitiveness of Australia’s rural sector, highperforming agricultural managers must make complex decisions to profit during challenging times.

Many skills can be learned on the job but tertiary settings can deliver the high level of cognitive thinking required for sophisticated management.

Marcus Oldham, at Waurn Ponds, delivers a Bachelor of Business (Agriculture) and a Bachelor of Business (Agribusiness), both with nested qualifications.

Alongside both programs is Australia’s best one-year Diploma of Equine Management, offering local and international careers.

Anyone planning to upgrade their qualifications by combining employment and study will find that the college’s off-campus postgraduate program offers a range of core and elective units.

All Marcus Oldham courses incorporate an international study tour with wide-ranging benefits.

Agriculture and agribusiness

students visit China for an understanding of international trade and marketing, processing of Australian products, exposure to the culture and business focus of Australia’s major trading partner and opportunities for entrepreneurial business ventures.

All students visit New Zealand, including a three-week work experience option for equine management studies.

The first-hand industry knowledge, production and business management skills acquired at Marcus Oldham are attractive to employers, opening a world of exciting careers and global opportunities for graduates.

More information is available at marcusoldham.vic.edu.au.

Encompass has supported and assisted thousands of people in Geelong since it first opened its doors in 1985. The close-knit team offers students and participants with many different services and programs through the Encompass College of Education and Training, Encompass Options and Connections, Encompass Employment Services and their many community enterprises. Although Encompass has grown, their vision, values and mission have not changed. “Your Vision is Our Vision – whatever it takes” remains as the organisation’s focus.

Their journey has sometimes been challenging. But their staff and management have pushed boundaries to deliver the best service and programs to their people. “People with disabilities should never settle for second best,” says CEO Elaine Robb.

Nestled in a charming brick building down the river end of Pakington Street, the organisation has always been a meeting place for people and a centre for inclusion and diversity. Each year Encompass supports over 2000 people and about 30% of Encompass’ employees have a disability, reinforcing Encompass’ commitment to providing equal opportunities to the community.

Encompass also runs a number of social enterprises, where people are able to gain work experience, complete a traineeship or get a job. Encompass thanks the Geelong community for its strength and support, which has enabled the organisation to expand its programs and services in response to the needs of people with disabilities in the Geelong region. For those who wish to up-skill or change career paths, or are looking for work, Encompass might just be the place to start!

ONE of Geelong’s oldest and most-valued community services organisations is leading the way in delivering targeted prevention and assistance programs.

Glastonbury Community Services is an independent, valuesbased, not-for-profit community service organisation with a highly skilled board of directors and an experienced executive team.

Operating in the west Barwon region of Victoria, Glastonbury delivers targeted prevention and best-practice assistance programs ranging from early intervention activities to intensive individual support services.

Glastonbury’s principal activities are its early years, family and community services and outof-home care programs. Each is complemented by education, research, counselling and community engagement activities.

These circumstances have potential to impact detrimentally on the development of children and youths as well as on their parents’ capability to meet their needs and day-to-day demands of family life.

Glastonbury places emphasis on prevention and early-intervention programs to address individual or family issues before they become significant problems.

The implementation of a strategic plan last year was a new direction for Glastonbury, providing the organisation with a high-level three-year blueprint, building on its past successes and focused on shaping its future.

The plan included a new vision statement - ‘Children, young people and families will be happy, healthy and heard’ - along with a new mission: ‘To support and empower children, young people and families to realise their full potential’.

The 2013-2016 strategic plan sets a clear, ambitious future for Glastonbury, positioning it as a regional community service leader providing exemplary care and which responds positively to clients’ needs while achieving high-quality outcomes for the community.

THE thirst for local news underpins the future of quality community newspapers like the Geelong Independent, according to its managing editor.

“People want to know what’s happening in their communities. The best place to find out is in their local newspaper,” says Tony Galpin.

“A local paper delivered free with interesting, quality reporting will always have a loyal readership.”

The Independent was founded in October 1986 in response to a monopoly in Geelong print advertising. The paper is now part of the Thomas family’s Star News Group, Australia’s largest family-owned group of community newspapers.

Delivered to homes across Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast, the Independent is the region’s highest-circulating local paper.

Two years ago the Independent launched Geelong Coast magazine (GC), the region’s highestquality glossy lifestyle publication. Published quarterly with the seasons, GC follows the Independent’s tradition of quality journalism, photography and design.

The Independent also has an active website with all the paper’s major stories as well as breaking news.

Geelongindependent.com.au offers an E-paper version reproducing all pages exactly as they appear in print. The E-paper has a free subscription service for weekly delivery to subscribers’ email inboxes.

The Independent’s Facebook page and Twitter account help alert followers to each week’s stories as well as breaking news, competitions and other local content.

Mr Galpin believes online platforms are an opportunity for value-adding to community newspapers rather than a threat to their business models.

“Websites and social media help us interact with the community and promote our stories and advertisers to a wider audience,” he says.

The only way is up for Tony Galpin and the team at the Geelong Independent.

Picture: REG RYAN “Now the Geelong Independent’s the whole package – print and online.”

Mr Galpin says the team at the Independent is looking forward to serving the community into the future.

“We thank all our readers and advertisers for their support. Let’s keep working together to make Geelong even better.”

Cats, council back marriage for gays FLAGS BID WINS OVER SHEEDS P4

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG’S football club and council have waded into the marriage equality debate with supporting statements for a local campaign on the issue.

Australian Marriage Equality highlighted the statements as it campaigned in the region’s federal electorates for political support if the issue reaches a parliamentary conscience vote.

Councillors adopted Jan Farrell’s motion to publicly support marriage equality and write to local parliamentarians advising them of council’s decision.

The Cats’ statement said: “We understand that there is a possi-

bility of a future conscience vote on the topic of marriage equality in parliament and the club has been contacted to support the current awareness raising campaign.

“Respect is a core value of the Geelong Cats and as a concept is nurtured. We respect diversity and say no to discrimination of any kind.”

Club people and culture general manager Rosie King said the Cats considered the request in light of the club’s Respect for Diversity policy.

“We felt comfortable supporting it by way of an open letter on our website as we were requested to have a visible presence in the campaign.”

Ms King said the statement would “gently” support the club’s work under the diversity policy in the areas of race, disability and gender.

“We’re not prescribing an individual view but pointing out the benefits to the community of being non-discriminatory.”

Cats patron and past president Frank Costa backed the club, believing members and the general community would understand and support the statement.

“Ten years ago maybe it might have been a concern but the community is more mature and more tolerant than it used to be,” he said.

“Genuine open discussion

on those issues is valuable because it helps people think a bit deeper.”

Australian Marriage Equality’s Ivan Hinton welcomed both statements.

“The council has joined the Geelong Football Club, which recently became the first senior AFL team to support the reform,” he said.

“Now it’s time federal member Sarah Henderson listened to her local council, her footy club and her constituents to back a reform that will strengthen families and help the local economy.”

Ms Henderson said she had been consulting widely to “best

represent the people of Corangamite on this issue”.

“I understand that for many people in Corangamite this is a very important issue,” she said.

“Recently I met with a group of local residents who are passionate about seeing a change in the law. I’ll also be meeting with Australian Marriage Equality representatives.

“The prime minister has stated that the coalition’s policy on same-sex marriage, including whether there will be a conscience vote, will be placed in the hands of the coalition party room for review. I look forward to being part of the process.”

Double Take A TWITTER suggestion that Channel 9’s The Block should renovate Geelong eyesore The Ritz has interested Planning Minister Matthew Guy. He picked up on the idea quick smart, tweeting: “Good idea. Geelong would be a great location for the next Block”.

Geelong Block winner Sophie Vines agreed, saying Channel 9 might be interested given The Ritz’s heritage status and cracked southern wall.

“They love anything that makes it harder for contestants,” she said.

Only one problem – The Ritz is back on the market for between $3 million and $7 million, which might be a stretch, even for a TV top-rater.

Even more so considering Geelong’s eminently-morerenovatable T&G Building just sold for a reported $2.9 million.

THANKS for nothing, said a peeved CBD motorist after runin with officious parking-meter protocol.

After parking she found the nearest meter out of order. Wanting to avoid a fine, she dialled a number on the meter to tell City Hall.

“You’ll have the find another one and get a ticket from that,” she was told.

And no receipt number was forthcoming to avoid a fine in the meantime.

“I pay for a phone call to tell these guys they’re losing money and don’t get even half an hour free parking,” she groused to Double Take.

“Then they make all this big deal about free parking when they’ve jacked the rates up to $2.50 an hour at other times. I’m off to Waurn Ponds.”

TWO Surf Coast watermen are preparing to tackle “the Everest of kayaking” – paddling around polar South Georgia Island in the far-flung reaches of the icy ocean below the southern tip of South America.

Jan Juc’s John Jacoby and Anglesea’s Chris Porter will join two other paddlers, from Perth and America, on the epic trip, beginning in early February.

Already in the planning stages for months, the boys will send their kayaks and 100kg of other gear to Melbourne on Monday for transport by sea to the snow-covered island.

All up, 18 months of preparations will go into two or three weeks of paddling, they estimate.

“The paddling will actually be the easier part!”

Don’t forget to send a postcard, guys.

Trend down after 408 road deaths structure have contributed to the decline.

“The most difficult thing to change is people’s behaviour. We have to recognise that people do make mistakes and put a safe system around them.

“That means the road is safe, intersections make sense and people leave sufficient margin for error.”

Ms Waller said the region’s high number of pedestrian deaths and accidents involving ageing drivers were still areas of concern.

She said the TAC had added autonomous emergency braking to its campaign urging buyers to purchase the safest car possible.

LOCAL roads recorded 408 fatalities in the past 25 years, Transport Accident Commission statistics reveal.

But most accident categories were trending downward despite increasing numbers of vehicles on roads in Geelong, the Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula, according to road safety manager Elizabeth Waller.

“Our first ads came out about 25 years ago as a way of setting an agenda in the community that the level of deaths on the roads was not good,” Ms Waller said.

“Improvements in car safety features such as seat belts, air bags, electronic stability control and ABS, and better road infra-

all these features but, particularly for young people, there are a lot of second-hand cars available that are very safe. It’s really about getting the community to get on board and be more aware of their surroundings, be willing to share the road and being forgiving of other’s mistakes.”

TAC statistics for the past 25 years show 93 fatalities from vehicles running off straight roads, 76 involving motorists driving in opposite directions and 56 while going the same way.

The figures showed weekends were more dangerous as drivers travelled through unfamiliar places at unusual times.

The hour between 2pm and 3pm also accounted for a higher share of road deaths, 53.

Charities delisting risk A $250,000 TAFE student support fund is among 26 local charities facing deregistration for failing to meet their obligations.

The Trustee for Community and Gordon Institute of TAFE Student Support Fund is included on an Australian Charities and Not for Profits Commission (ACNC) list of non-complying charities.

The charities watchdog said it had tried numerous times to contact the local charities but received no response.

The commission this week also published an urgent list of five local charities, giving them 28 days to respond or face immediate revocation.

The list included Caring Clownz Australia Charitable Trust, Geelong Assemblies Of God Jesus Centre,

Tax benefits threatened Newtown Community Church, Bellarine South Hospice Care Group and Norlane Baptist Church.

Charities commissioner Susan Pascoe said the commission was keen to hear from the listed organisations to determine whether they were still operative.

“Organisations that lose their charity registration may lose access to Commonwealth charity tax concessions,” Ms Pascoe said.

“It is important that we hold accurate information about registered charities so that donors, funders and members of the public can be assured that charities are well regulated.”

The list of charities included a Clonard College building fund, Ocean

Grove and Portarlington pre-schools, Geelong Central Fidelity Club and two Montessori education associations.

Workers redundant after International Harvester closed used $1600 from a union shop steward account to set up the Gordon fund in 1987.

Student support fund co-founder Kevin Boland said he had been unaware the charity was on the ACNC list.

“I was shocked,” he said.

“We don’t want to lose our tax deductibility status. I appreciate the fact you have let us know.

“I think the paperwork must have been lost. The fund’s co-founder, Ernie Speight, died some time ago and I can only assume that’s why.”

Gateway church’s Lee Eden said the church had changed its name from Geelong Assemblies of God, which might have caused confusion.

“I’ll check with the commission as soon as I get off the phone. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.”

Urban Seed spokesperson Simon Reeves said Norlane Baptist Church was wound up about five years ago.

“We’ve been chatting with (the commission), so it’s a little unusual to be on the list,” Mr Reeves said.

A Geelong Kindergarten Association spokesperson said some kindergartens on the list had closed but it would follow up the remaining preschools.

The Independent unsuccessfully attempted to contact a number of other charities on the list.

AN explosion has forced a partial evacuation of Barwon Prison, near Lara.

Police described the blast on Saturday as “small”, with all staff and inmates escaping injury.

Films hosted GEELONG will host movies form Melbourne International Film Festival in September, South Barwon MP Andrew Katos has announced.

He said Geelong Performing Arts Centre would screen the Australian premiere of Kill Me Three Times and four other films from 12 to 14 September.

Flight talks RESIDENTS should have a say on the flight paths for emergency helicopters to a proposed new landing pad at Geelong Hospital, according to the city’s council.

Mayor Darryn Lyons said council supported the new helipad but recommended that State Government consult “affected parties”.

Robbery image POLICE have released a security camera image of a man wanted for questioning over the robbery of a central Geelong home-wares store.

Police alleged the man, pictured, threatened a shop assistant with scissors before fleeing with cash from the Ryrie St store.

Money funding A $1.7 million funding injection will help a scheme financing “lower-income” Geelong residents to keep operating for another 12 months, State Government has announced.

Community Services Minister Mary Wooldridge said the Government was keen to “explore” how the Good Money scheme could continue operating into the future.

Park growth WALLINGTON’S Adventure Park is set to grow after winning council backing for expansion onto neighbouring parkland.

Councillors voted this week to send the business’s rezoning application to an independent panel after receiving five objections to the plan.

A GEELONG fire fighter has been the driving force behind a $1.2 million fundraising calendar to be published in Victoria for the first time.

The fire fighters calendar has proven enormously popular in New South Wales and Queensland for more than 20 years.

Avalon Airport fire fighter Luke Wood will feature in the 2015 calendar, set for release later this year.

“I’m confident it’ll do well – there’s been a lot of interest in it,” Mr Wood said.

“I actually applied to be in the northern calendar twice and got knocked back because I was from Victoria and there wasn’t enough southern interest, so I thought we’d better generate some interest and started making a few calls and getting Victorian firies involved.”

Mr Wood’s interest in body building and personal training stood him in good stead for the photo shoot, held in Queensland last week.

“We got some pretty hot shots.

The photography set was actually a shed set alight as the background, so we were fire fighters as well as models,” he laughed.

All proceeds from the sale of the calendar go to the Melbourne Burns Unit at Royal Children’s Hospital and sending a team to the world fire fighting games.

AFL LEGEND Kevin Sheedy has backed a Cats push to rewrite the beginnings of football, lifting Geelong’s haul of premierships from nine to 16.

Geelong president Colin Carter’s submission to officially recognise 20 years of “neglected” Victorian Football Association (VFA) history will also change the number of various clubs’ premierships.

Sheedy, an ambassador for Greater Western Sydney Giants – which plays Geelong in two weeks – was at Kardinia Park for a promotional visit to encourage fans to journey to Spotless Stadium for the clash.

Representing the newest entrant to the competition, Sheedy told the Independent Carter’s idea merited “serious consideration”.

“I know it changes the number of premierships won by clubs and

some might get a bit uptight about that but that’s okay,” Sheedy said.

“We have to remember it’s just a game.”

Sheedy said he was sure the AFL would do its research with the assistance of well-credentialed football historians before making any decisions.

An AFL commissioned group of historians and researchers, including the AFL’s Col Hutchinson, will consider the submission.

The research into football’s early years will also consider crediting some of football’s early champions with games not currently on record.

The former greats include Geelong’s Charles Brownlow, after whom the AFL’s highest honour is named, and William ‘Ben’ Hall.

The most contentious part of the move is AFL clubs gaining premierships won in the VFA. Nine clubs established the

Eight clubs broke away to form Victorian Football League (VFL) in 1897, the beginning of offiical premiership records. The VFL’s foundation clubs were Geelong, Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon, Fitzroy, Melbourne, South Melbourne and St Kilda.

Geelong’s seven VFA premierships would give the Cats 16 flags, lifting the club from equal seventh to outright fourth.

Green light for Christmas tree

By NOEL MURPHY CORIO BAY is set to be decked with boughs of Yuletide cheer after Geelong’s council approved a $1 million Christmas tree on the casting vote of Mayor Darryn Lyons.

Council expects the 25-metre tree to generate an extra $18 million in tourist spending over the festive season and media coverage worth $20 million for the city.

The tree’s builder will be Melbourne’s

Creative Production Services, which has completed jobs such as a giant King Kong hand outside Eureka Skydeck, Crown Christmas Spectacular and Melbourne Arts Centre’s Deck the Houses installation.

The tree’s design remains under wraps but Cr Lyons said discussions about the project had already generated significant interest.

“Once the project is in place we can expect Geelong will be well and truly on the map this Christmas,” he said.

“The tree measures 25 metres from water level and has been custom-designed to attract interest both at night and during the day.

“At night the tree will feature a light show that will incorporate both internal and external lighting elements. The light show will be reflected in the water.

“The iconic Christmas tree will add fun and glamour to our city but at the same time it is a part of very deliberate strategy to support our local tourism and retail sectors.”

Figures from Tourism Greater Geelong and Bellarine indicate the iconic Christmas tree could deliver an additional $18 million in tourism expenditure over the Christmas season.

“Based on a conservative estimate of a 10 per cent increase in tourism visits, we could expect an additional 44,993 visitors to the region equating to $18 million in tourism expenditure,” Cr Lyons said.

“Independent analysis of the likely media coverage of Geelong’s 2014 Christmas program has found the na-

tional and international coverage would equate to $20 million worth of coverage.”

Cr Andy Richards, who voted against the tree, described the project as a “fiasco”.

“The project has no business plan, no permits, no report on where it can be seen from and does not even have a site,” he said.

“Unfortunately, the project is going ahead as the vote was 6-6, with mayor Darryn Lyons using his casting vote to get the project up.”

Devils confront Secret filming under way for $8.7m ABC mini-series

By NOEL MURPHY Hollywood star

GEELONG’S film industry is kicking another goal with production of an $8.7 million ABC mini-series underway at the You Yangs near Little River.

Co-starring Tim Minchin, The Secret River is adapted from Kate Grenville’s award-winning book of the same name.

The colonial-era mini-series’ producers are Stephen Luby and Mark Ruse of Ruby Entertainment, who worked on Crackerjack and Bed of Roses.

Oscar nominated screenwriter Jan Sardi, of Shine and Mao’s Last Dancer, is also involved, while Fred Schepisi (Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith) is director.

The story follows ex-convict Will Thornhill and partner Sal through their desperate and tragic fortunes amid cultural clashes between whites and blacks.

The two-part show will be filmed over eight weeks at both the You Yangs and on Sydney’s Hawkesbury River.

In addition to Minchin, the production stars British actor Oliver Jackson-Cohen, of Mr Selfridge and Dracula, in the chief role of Thornhill, Australian Sarah Snook as Sal, Lachy Hulme of Kerry Packer Howzat! fame, Rake’s Genevieve Lemon and Rabbit Proof Fence’s Trevor Jamieson.

Grenville’s novel won a 2006 Commonwealth Writers prize and was short-listed for a Man Booker Prize.

By NOEL MURPHY GEELONG Hollywood star Portia de Rossi has cirrhosis of the liver and osteoporosis, according to new reports out of the US. RadarOnline.com, which Geelong journalist Dylan Howard heads, this week reported the Arrested Development and Ally McBeal star was diagnosed with the twin complaints a decade ago.

De Rossi, born Amanda Rogers and raised in Geelong, spent 30 days in a Malibu rehab centre from early May for treatment of drug and alcohol issues, according to In Touch Weekly.

Media heat has approached furnace temperatures on the women in recent months, with speculation about a break-up, cheating allegations and reports of serious differences between the pair.

Gossip website Celebdirty Laundry fuelled the flames, reporting: “Some of you may not remember but Ellen was photographed with a mystery brunette date back in February.”

International Business Times reported that De Rossi “ended up in rehab just two months later” and was “on a downward spiral”.

The Daily Mail reported the couple were repairing their marriage post-rehab despite de Rossi’s ongoing battle with her “devils”.

De Rossi’s family, now living in Los Angeles, did not respond to Independent’s request for comment.

“Student numbers in Geelong have already grown to around 10,000, an increase of around 35 per cent since 2010,” she said.

“Over the next five years student numbers at our Waterfront campus are expected to more than double and as they do we need to ensure they have accommodation that’s safe and comfortable.”

A LUXURY $79,000 one-off caravan is housing homeless youths around Geelong.

But they don’t get to call the unique seven-metre caravan home - it’s being raffled to raise $100,000 to build two relocatable studio units.

Caravan Industry Association of Victoria (CIAV) is selling tickets to the raffle as part of its From Living Tough to Living Safe campaign in association with charity Kids Under Cover.

Association chief Rob Lucas said demand for the studio units in Geelong was high.

“The demand is more than Kids Under Cover can cope with and the issue is bigger than most people in comfortable positions would think about,” Mr Lucas said.

“This is a pro-active campaign aimed at providing an appropriate intervention where a young person can’t live at home for whatever reason.

“This solution will give them

SHELTER: Kids Under Cover’s Jo Swift and CIAV’s Rob Lucas with one of the relocatable studios for homeless youths. their own time and space and relieve families under stress.”

Mr Lucas said many keen caravanners in the Geelong region were supporting the campaign.

“Geelong plays a significant role in the caravan industry, with everything from manufacturing and supplies to retailers and tourist operators.

“The caravan industry has a strong family connection. We’e a

lifestyle industry bringing families together, so we saw this as a great way of lending our assistance.”

Geelong so far has 23 relocatable one and two-bedroom units with bathrooms housing homeless youths. Each studio costs $55,000.

Mr Lucas said the economic returns to the community were significant, with every dollar spent on constructing a studio saving on average $3.30 in health and justice costs.

Mr Lucas said a number of CIAV members came up with the idea of building the unique luxury caravan from scratch, donating time and materials.

“It really is a one-off - you won’t see anything like it anywhere else. It’s loaded with every feature you could think of.”

The luxury caravan will be raffled at Melbourne Leisurefest, Sandown Racecourse, on 5 October.

Tickets are available on 9372 5388 or visiting gomakesomememeories.com.au.

Resurrection near for golf club

By NOEL MURPHY GEELONG Golf Club is set to be resurrected as a nine-hole course more than a decade after it was sold for $1.85 million then redeveloped as a $100 million estate for 320 homes.

Advertisements this week called for prospective operators of the course to register their interest with owner Geelong Golf Club Residential Estate.

The site was carved up after Links

Group controversially bought the club while it was experiencing financial difficulties.

The club ignored higher alternative offers on the advice of golf management company PGA Links, which the Links Group and Professional Golfers Association of Australia set up and brought in to run the club in 2002. Geelong businessman John Wellham was reported to have offered $18 million.

The club was also reported to be worth an estimated $5 million several years before the sale to Links Group and the site’s rezoning for residential use.

The golf club, then the second oldest in Australia, lost its memorabilia in a 2007 fire.

Members also lost a Links offer of membership at Torquay’s Sands club and the proposed nine-hole course on the Geelong site was downgraded in size from 22 to 11.5 hectares.

The reduced course has nine holes, a practice range, a club building and pro shop space.

The club seeks a “suitably qualified, experienced and reputable” contractor to commercially operate the course and practice range as public play-for-pay facilities. The contractor would also run the pro shop and manage the club’s golf activities.

The job was described as “an exciting

opportunity for an entrepreneurial operator to build a successful business”.

Housing works have been underway for several years on the former western reaches of the course, bounded by Ballarat and Thompson Rds. Allotments have been selling for up to $400,000.

Geelong Golf Club was established in 1892, closed in 2004 and lay idle and overgrown for years, drawing community criticism.

Local embroiled in unions probe

FEELING FINE: Rachael Salmer enjoys a brief respite of fine weather this week with Isabella, Amy and Jasmine as part of City of Greater Geelong’s Leopold holiday program at Gateway Sanctuary.

By Noel Murphy A GEELONG union figure has been embroiled in a controversial Royal Commission stand-off over secret tapes and alleged leaks to media outlets.

The Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance this week took the extraordinary step of publically denying any role in the leaks after CFMEU counsel John Agius SC called for an investigation into the release of details related to proceedings but yet to be heard.

Mr Agius cited incidents including a report of CFMEU organiser Gerard Benstead, of Geelong, warning a Melbourne developer against going to the Australian Building and Construction Commission watchdog with claims workers were being forced to join the union.

The Fairfax report last week related to West Homes’ redevelopment work on Pentridge Prison in 2011. Mr Benstead was allegedly recorded on a secret tape, saying: “If you go running to the ABCC (Australian Building and Construction Commission), forget about it. That will be the worst move you’ll ever make”.

Mr Benstead told the Independent he was unable to talk on the issue.

But CFMEU national construction secretary Dave Noonan referred to the allegations as “rehashed”, saying the ABCC investigated them several years ago and no action was taken.

The CFMEU has lambasted the Pentridge project for years, continuing the criticism on a new website set up in tandem with the royal commission.

Costs threat over park

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN LEGAL costs have been threatened against a group trying to prevent development of a performance space in Ocean Grove Park, according to a member.

Christine Brooks said the group wanted the Ocean Grove Park Association to call a special general meeting on concerns the performance space would leave the association with a heavy financial burden.

Ms Brooks said a number of members were unhappy their opinions had not been taken into account.

“Building this performance space involves the use of $150,000 of park funds and the financial burden of ongoing running costs.

The Independent reported in April that Ms Brooks was seeking the special general meeting.

“That special meeting has still not been convened,” she said.

“The committee engaged lawyers and wrote back to me saying my letter requesting the special meeting was invalid.

“The lawyer’s letter said that if I continued to prepare for a special gen-

eral meeting I would run risk of being charged costs.

“They said my request was invalid because basically the committee holds all the power.”

Ms Brooks said other members were also “disappointed and dismayed” at the use of association funds for legal advice.

“I don’t know what it cost but barrister’s advice doesn’t come cheap, just to stymie a vote.”

Ms Brooks said she sent another request for a special general meeting this week, undersigned by members.

The request included proposals to amend the rules of the committee to restrict expenditure of $20,000 without general member support.

“We’re hoping the committee will see it’s better to avoid all this unpleasantness, will learn something from it and make sure members have a say in the future.”

Geelong council earlier voted to continue the proposed construction of the performances space in the park, allocating $200,000 toward the $1 million project.

Our time of need

No time for denial

IT WAS disturbing to read that major charities like Give Where You Live and Karingal will be hit hard by the closure of Alcoa, Ford and other businesses (Geelong Independent, 20 June).

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m extremely grateful for the many charities, churches and other people of goodwill who donate food and basic necessities to those struggling in our community to make ends meet.

No child, woman or man should have to go to bed hungry and cold in our city. However, charity alone is not enough.

Australia urgently needs a realistic living minimum wage for workers, immediate increases in payments to the unemployed and people on pensions and rises to benefits for low-income families.

Until this happens I call on our mayor, councillors, and MPs to commit council and government money to agencies such as Give Where You Live, Karingal and the like so they can give the best possible assistance to our neighbours in need.

Robert Van Zetten Highton

ALAN Baron (Letters, 4 July) refused to address the question I asked him (Letters, 27 June), which was why raising atmospheric greenhouse gases to 400 parts per million would not accelerate Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greenhouse effect and so cause the planet to warm.

Rather, he appealed to the work of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC), which produces papers that are not peer reviewed and which are aligned with the philosophies of its funding bodies, like The Heartland Institute, which has campaigned against threats posed by climate change.

Mr Barronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s serial posts echo the misinformation and science-denial of such self-interested groups at a time when people in Geelong cannot afford to be misled.

There is no debate to be had. The science is in and the outlook is concerning.

And I have grandchildren.

WHILE reading about the Cats seeking a fix for their fade-outs (Independent, 4 July), I remembered trainers at Edenhope about 60 years ago giving the players â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;plonkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;steamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as it was called then, at three-quarter time.

To show solidarity, the coach, who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink, rubbed a handful on his balding head.

RAY Black misunderstood the stance of sceptics such as Alan Barron.

I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall Mr Barron ever saying volcanos drive climate change. They pour out copious amounts of carbon dioxide but sceptics argue that the Sun is the major driver of climate change.

I take exception to the insinuation Mr Barronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice should not be heard on climate change.

Australia is a democracy and people have the right to express their opinions.

Ken Bain Highton

Rebel against sprawl ACCORDING to a recent housing feature in a Melbourne newspaper, Geelong is now a suburb of Melbourne.

During the gold rush Melbourne merchants were afraid Geelong would become the capital of Victoria, so they issued a fake map showing Melbourne nearer to Ballarat. They entreated prospectors not to disembark at Geelong or purchase their supplies here.

Today most residents of City of Greater Geelong and neighbouring shires would be pleased we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have something the size of Melbourne sprawled across our landscape.

So has Melbourne now decided to take us by stealth? Has anyone informed Ballarat and Bendigo that they are about to become the first and second regional cities?

This year marks the centenary of the Eureka Stockade. Maybe Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colourful mayor should lead another rebellion to gain the rights and independence Geelong has earned to stand alone as Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second city.

It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take much of his time - the Eureka battle only lasted about 15 minutes and then Peter Lalor went on to a place in the Victorian Parliament and became Speaker of the Legislative Assembly It has been said history repeats, so arise, Sir Darryn, we need you!

Reunion for ‘guitar rock’ GEELONG The Voice sensation Michael Stangel and local guitar legend John Dallimore will perform together for the first time in 20 years this Friday night.

The duo will appear at Geelong’s Black Hatt in a gig featuring classic guitar anthems from bands and artists including Jimi Hendrix, Cream and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Stangel’s rendition of Home appeared in the ITunes top 20 last year.

He has also written songs for The Veronicas, Shannon Nole and Dean Geyer.

Stangel said he grew up hearing about Dallimore, “dreaming of one day meeting him and maybe even having a jam”.

Soon enough a friendship developed, with the pair playing in bands and working on various musical projects together throughout the 1990s.

They lost touch with each other until mutual friend and bass player Kare Berg recently invited them to jam with him and Keith Kerwin.

“We ended up having a great night and thought, ‘Why not put some effort in and have a few rehearsals and do something that we’ be happy to play in public’,” Stangel said.

“We decided to put a set list together of guitar rock classics, with me going back to my original instrument – the drums.

“It’s going to be a great gig for Geelong music buffs or even locals with a nostalgic musical bone they may need to itch.”

Lang’s headed for home

By EMILY IANNELLO

GUITAR HERO: Jeff Lang is coming back to Geelong with songs from his new album.

JEFF Lang hopes to tap into the energy of his hometown supporters when he makes a one-stop visit to Geelong this month.

The renowned blues and roots guitarist will perform songs from new album I Live In My Head A Lot These Days at Beav’s Bar on 20 July.

Lang said he had been on his “merry way, making records and travelling” since leaving Geelong to build his music career.

With 15 albums and three ARIAs under his belt, the now-Melbourne-based Lang said he would be happy to be back “playing in the old stomping ground”.

“My parents still live in town and I’m hoping to catch up with some buddies,” he told the Independent.

“I still have a decent connection with people in Geelong. The guy who makes my amplifiers is still here.

Lang said his Geelong audience could expect a “good portion” of songs from his new record.

“There’s a lot of room for exploring on some of the songs – we’ll be looking to do a lot of that.

“A lot of what happens is dependent on the energy in the room. The audience brings a lot to the table – it’s always been great to perform in Geelong.”

Lang was also looking forward to catching up with old friends.

“There are always some pals I hope will come along.”

Lang said Queenscliff blues artist Alister Turrill would be his support act

in Geelong, while Danny McKenna and Tim Keegan would back him on drums and bass respectively.

He credited a friend for the title of the new album.

“I was having a Facebook chat with a buddy who often comes out with angular statements and phrases and he threw that one in and said, ‘So there’s your new album title’.

“He should give me an album title with every discussion,” Lang laughed.

Reflecting on his music, Lang described himself as “the boy who fell in love with sound”.

“I love getting involved and getting among it. It’s almost like OCD (obsessive-complusive disorder).”

Lang said a collaboration album was his next goal.

“Bobby Singh and I did a collab’ with some Rajasthani musicians last year – Mick Jagger was in the audience,” he revealed.

“We made a recording and we’re going to mix that – I’ll be looking into getting that album finished.”

Lang was impressed with how his hometown had changed over the years, particularly its waterfront area.

“It’s nice to see that they’ve improved it. It’s a really nice place for people to visit now.

“Geelong’s always been a good joint – good for food, too. I spend a lot of latenight post-gig activity at Wood Oven Pizza – it’s still good, always been dependable.”

1143768-HM28-14

Mix together margarine, sugar, stewed apples and egg, then sift in flour, cinnamon, mixed spice, ginger then add sultanas, then bi-carb mixed with the hot milk. Cook in mod oven for 40-45 mins.

IT’S THE most important meal of the day, so there’s no excuse not to do it in style.

Breakfast can now be eaten like a king - or, better still, a pharaoh - on weekends at North Geelong’s mighty Sphinx Hotel.

It’s the latest addition to an already-impressive array of dining, entertainment, gaming and other offerings at the ancient-Egyptthemed complex and, not surprisingly, it’s a mouth-watering treat designed to cater for even the hungriest morning diners.

Here’s an idea of what’s on the menu: the Sphinx big breakfast

of bacon, chippolata sausages, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms and spinach, served on sourdough bread; eggs Benedict; egg and bacon sandwich with tomato, caramelised onion and lettuce; ham, cheese and tomato omelette; vegetarian omelette with spinach, mushrooms and cheese; baked beans and sausages; bacon and eggs; Bircher muesli; thick-cut fruit loaf with butter and jam; coffees, teas and juices - all done to order.

In short, lashings of everything making for a hearty, full-on breakfast..

It’s all staged in the Sphinx’s Pharaohs Bistro with its friendly staff and great atmosphere.

Car parking outside is plentiful - and free.

And with the stellar range of salads, pastas, seafood, steaks, schnitzels and desserts also offered during dining sessions later in the day at Pharaohs, who knows, the temptation to stay on for lunch, or more, might just be too hard to pass up.

The Sphinx breakfast menu is available 8.30am to 10.30am Saturdays and Sundays.

Vet keeps costs low

IGA’s part of family

Master of all meats

A COMPLETE transformation for the North Geelong Vet Clinic ensures the best care for pets.

The clinic now includes state of the art equipment and modern facilities to keep up with advances in technology and pet care.

Veterinarian Dr Sally Upham says the clinic’s staff are passionate about caring for pets.

“They’re committed to providing the highest standard in veterinary care and to ensuring your pets live a healthy and pain-free life.”

IF any business has witnessed changes on Vines Rd and the growth of the community, it’s Vallis IGA. Operating for 35 years, the store was originally opened by Paul Valenti, the father of current owner Tony.

Tony says the store has seen generations pass through its doors, with even his own children being employed.

“We’ve also seen the change in demand for products – the desire for organic and gluten-free products has skyrocketed in recent years.”

GOODALL’S Quality Meats has been operating since 1989, priding itself on providing homemade produce.

Owner John Goodall says the emphasis on home-made products makes his business different to other butchers.

“Everything we do here we make ourselves. We do our own hams, kabana and bacon – which we have won awards for,” John says.

“We also do a lot of ready-toeat meals.”

“Our vets will discuss expenses with clients as they arise.

We strongly urge all clients to take out pet insurance to reduce the stress of money at an already stressful time when your pet is injured or unwell.”

“It’s not just our price and quality but the personal touch we have with our customers many of them have become our friends.”

BIG HITTER: Big and bold in the American manner, latest Toyota Kluger pulls no styling punches.

JUSTIN HANNEYSEE 0409 549 247 METRO DZWONCZYK 0414 432 295

Kluger’s outing

By EWAN KENNEDY TOYOTA Kluger is aimed at the large station wagon buyer, at those wanting a spacious people mover, but who also like the image provided by the shape of a 4WD vehicle.

This Toyota is big and bold in the American manner, so probably not a vehicle for the conservative buyer.

The latest Kluger was introduced to Australia in March this year and is longer and wider than before with a strong emphasis on maximising interior space.

Even the rear suspension components feature a new design that keeps them low and compact.

The all-new Toyota Kluger is intended chiefly for the American market, hence its bold shape. Indeed, it’s actually made in the US of A. It has a tall front with an oversized grille, large guards, and a deep swage down the sides.

The body is unashamedly boxy to maximise space inside.

The tail isn’t as squared off as some in this market arena, the rear lights have a protruding horizontal shape that adds to the bold look.

The tailgate is almost a twopiece unit in that it has the convenience of opening rear glass.

The ‘gate is hinged at the top, which most owners find more convenient than a side-hinged rear door.

Inside, the instrument and centre panels occupy virtually a single widespread area.

This is a sensible idea, also found in the likes of the all-new Mercedes-Benz S-Class, so it looks to be the way of the future.

Toyota’s 3.5-litre twin-cam petrol V6 has been carried over from the old model Kluger but has been heavily revised to reduce emissions and trim fuel consumption.

It produces up to 201 kilowatts of power and 337 Newton metres of torque.

Sadly, there’s no turbo-diesel option because the Americans aren’t keen on diesels in their smaller (yes, smaller!) SUVs. The V6 engine is now mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, replacing the ageing five-speed unit in the superseded Kluger.

It has sophisticated electronics that help it adapt its gearchanges not only to hilly conditions, but also as it senses drivers’ individual desires.

Kluger is offered in 2WD, to the front wheels, or all-wheeldrive (AWD) if you want to get a bit more adventurous and explore mild off-road areas.

Indeed, it may not just be aimed at station wagon buyers, Toyota tells us the sales split between 2WD and 4WD in the previous models was about 50/50 and the importer expects this ratio to continue.

Experience tells us few will use their Klugers on unsealed surfaces, but the dream is there – and who can argue against dreams?

Even the entry level Kluger has a reversing camera, rear parking sensors, seven airbags, daytime running lights, stability and traction control, ABS brakes with brake assist and electronic brakeforce distribution.

The topline Kluger Grande that we reviewed also has a precollision safety system and lane departure alert.

The front seats are large and comfortable, the second row seats have excellent legroom and headroom.

Access to the rearmost seats is relatively easy as the second row seats slide forward.

This is a tall vehicle and the climb into these rearmost seats may be hard work for some.

The cabin can take seven adults, though five, with two children in the rear will be a more practical load.

Boot space is very good, and all seats can be folded flat. The second and third row seats each

have 60/40 splits.

Ride comfort is good and noise, vibration and harshness levels are well damped.

Handling is safe and predictable and there was considerable Australian testing from the early design stages.

You certainly wouldn’t describe it as sporting, that’s not a criticism, but we can’t see many buyers of BMW X5 and the like putting the Toyota on their shortlist.

What Toyota Kluger has always been is an excellent long distance cruiser.

Around town it can be a bit of a handful at times due to its sheer bulk.

The rearview camera and reasonably slim roof pillars do make life easier.

Engine performance is good without being outstanding.

The new automatic is excellent in the way it works with the engine torque to get the best from it.

Fuel consumption isn’t overly high for the class, but this is certainly no economy special.

Around town you’re likely to see number in the 12 to 16 litres per 100 kilometres most of the time.

The new six-speed auto helps on the highway and it’s not difficult to get the big Toyota under 10 litres per 100 with moderate driving.

Toyota Kluger is a large comfortable station wagon that will usually be used only as a people carrier.

Having the option to take the all-wheel-drive versions into mild off-road areas will attract adventurous family buyers.

IT’S THE personal touch that sets Keleman Motors apart.

Gary Keleman has been in the business since 1982, so he must be doing something right.

His care and attention to detail has enhanced his hard-won reputation in the car repair trade.

The personal service includes a drop off and pick up service to the city.

Gary is known as a Mazda specialist but his tried and true slogan, ‘Anything on any car’, sums up his approach.

“We do all major and minor repairs, including exhaust, brakes, clutches and suspension,” Gary explains.

“Plus we do the full range of upgrades and servicing, including air-conditioner re-gassing.”

Gary and Mazda go back a long way, including his top qualifications in the repair and servicing of the famous rotary engine.

Gary uses only genuine parts in his new-car repair and servicing work.

“This way our customers can be sure their factory warranties are not affected.”

He says customers should be able to receive dealer level service without paying dealer level prices.

“We’re always happy to give a quote so the customer knows exactly what they are up for,” he says.

Gary’s recently renovated workshop boasts the latest in diagnostic and scanner equipment.

“We’re proud of the quality of all work we undertake and our competitive rates.”

Keleman Motors is at shop 3, 13 Crown St, South Geelong, phone 5229 9555.

WINNERS: Warriors players celebrate a goal on the weekend. Picture: Ivan Dudangzic North Geelong coach Micky Colina was full of praise for his side after the win.

“For me it was our patience and maintaining shape in and out of possession that was key,” he said.

Box Hill coach Arthur Georgiou was disappointed.

“It was a very good display from North Geelong and our guys just didn’t do the fundamentals expected from them,” he said.

The match finished a series of rewarding recent performances for the Warriors, whose 14 goals in the past four matches has earned 10 points from 12 on offer.

Goals from various options show the team is unreliant on any particular avenue to goal.

However, the noticeable focal point of Paleka, who seems to be pivotal to the attack of North Geelong, is obvious. He presents and toils away on a consistent basis, giving his direct opponent their 90 minutes worth.

North Geelong is at home this Saturday to Springvale.

Supporters in attendance will want to see the Warriors deliver more-consistently at home, with this weekend the ideal time.

1144408-HM28-14

NORTH Geelong Warriors has outplayed a fancied Box Hill side to notch up a 2-0 win thanks to goals from Juso Julardzija and Mark Paleka.

North Geelong entered the match with Michael Boyar replacing Darren Lewis from the previous round.

A settled Warriors team patiently built up attacks from the outset.

In the 10th minute a Matthew Townley free kick sailed just high off target, followed by a counter attack in which Michael Grgic shot directly at Box Hill keeper Alex Pavlidis.

Box Hill’s only real chance came around the 30-minute mark when a swinging Josh Valadon shot bent too wide around the post without threatening Daniel Zilic on goals.

The Warriors opened the scoring on 43 minutes when Vito Cichello lobbed a delightful ball to Julardzija to zip in behind the defence and shimmy past Pavlidis to calmly finish.

The second half kicked off much the same as the first, with a structured Warriors patiently advancing at Box Hill.

At the 50th minute Paleka had a chance from 20m but his shot bent too far around the goal.

Minutes later Robert Zadworny zipped through the Box Hill midfield at will, only to see his shot sail over the bar.

In the 57th minute Julardzija lined up for another chance, this time from a set piece outside the area.

He hit it powerfully but Pavlidis did well to stop the dipping shot.

Box Hill then mounted a short-lived attack but at a cost.

On 66 minutes the home side gave away a free kick at the half-way mark. Townley took the kick and found Paleka who finished with a strong header.

The hosts tried lifting again when George Howard zoomed through the Warriors midfield and crossed for Alex Schroen on the opposite side of goal but he completely missed the ball in his effort.

Tightrope for Cats

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG coach Chris Scott is walking a football tightrope as the season comes down to the wire and he knows it.

“The season is really finely balanced,” Scott agreed at this week’s media conference.

“It’s part of the art of coaching and we try and back it up with science.

“We’re not in a position where we can take liberties and, to be frank, we’ve never really taken liberties.

“We’ve got a lot of players we think are capable of contributing to our best 22 and we always consider the short term against the long term and hopefully make good decisions.”

Some of those decisions will revolve around selection, with some sore bodies but a minimum of injuries, unlike other top-four clubs.

It’s part of Geelong’s aim to peak at the business end of the season unaffected by player unavailability, at full match fitness and gelling together despite an up and down year.

“There’s getting them back and there’s getting them back at their best,” Scott explained.

“We think we’re a little bit off that. The challenge is to get all our good players playing well at the same time.

“The team will clearly benefit as a result of that.

We’ve got them pretty much all back together and we’re hopeful we can build some momentum.”

Following the review of the wintry game against the Western Bulldogs Scott said the “so-called” second half fade-outs were more due to a lack of scoring.

“We’re gradually improving those things. I don’t think we thought it was as bad as some people outside the club did.

“Hopefully we’re a little more balanced and we look into it with a bit more depth than those that only have a passing interest in it.

“It’s still been a problem for us. We were in a really commanding position at half time, the weather made it a little more difficult to score for both teams, but we didn’t play as well as we’d like to.

“But we’re optimistic we’ll improve.”

Improvement is the key for the Melbourne side facing the Cats at the MGC on Saturday afternoon, with the imprimatur of coach Paul Roos, a thorn in Geelong’s side while he was at Sydney.

At least it will give the Geelong recruiting staff a close up look at potential free agency target, Demon defender James Frawley.

EYE, BALL: Cats coach Chris Scott has his eye on the ball as Geelong seeks to balance its side in the run home to the finals.

Squid, salmon break out PERRY and Michael Stravroplous used a break in last week’s wild weather to fish the Hermsley Rd grass beds for squid.

After an hour or so using 2.5-sized jigs the pair had a total of 14 squid.

On Saturday afternoon Daniel Baden and I took a run down to Lorne to spin for a few salmon. After finding a high tide and large swell making the rocks a bit challenging we moved over to Lorne Pier where I managed to find salmon to 1kg on the evening tide change while casting Asari 28g slugs.

Other anglers on the pier caught good numbers of grass whiting on pippies.

Jan Juc produced large numbers of Australian Salmon on both bait and lure, with the fish averaging over 1kg.

Ballarat’s Julie Donaghy fished Limeburner’s Point’s rock wall last Thursday where she was delighted to land a 750g salmon.

Pinkie snapper were taken along Geelong’s waterfront on soft plastics.

Schools of Australian salmon averaging 800g to 1kg were also again present for anglers lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time.

Squid and whiting dominated reports from St Leonards, particularly in 5m to 6m of water straight out from the boat ramp. Tenderised squid strips and pippies were the bait of choice, with the run-out tide most productive.

Freshwater anglers were rewarded for persistence with redfin to 45cm at Wurdee Boluc Reservoir, along with the odd trout.

St Augustine’s and Seagull Paddock lakes produced stocked yearling rainbow for school-holidays anglers.

Pink Powerbait and small lures such as Rapala F-5s worked well.

Michael Appleton and mate Dave fished Ballarat’s Lake Wendouree with some quality mudeye for a brown trout of 1.9kg. Next they changed to

Squidgy Fish soft plastics and landed a smaller brown of 700g.

West Barwon Reservoir yielded rainbow trout around 1kg for anglers casting soft plastics and allowing them to sink. Powerbait on a running sinker rig was also effective.

Lake Purrumbete produced brown trout to 1.5kg for anglers drifting and casting shallow-diving hard body lures over the weed beds. Pins minnows and Daiwa Double Clutch lures worked well, while others had success flat-line trolling Tassie Devils at first light.

Anglers next door at Lake Bullen Merri caught Chinook salmon on baits fished in well-established burley trails.

Anyone keen on travelling further afield could try Lake Toolondo where casting Strike Pro Bob ‘N’ Spoons and Tassie Devils in the Clown pattern has been accounting for many chunky brown trout.
