Geelong turns into choice destination State supports city Labor Member for Geelong Christine Couzens with local workers.

By DARRYN LYONS, City of Greater Geelong Mayor

GEELONG’S growing economy is being led by innovation and a strong entrepreneurial spirit – not only in big business but in small business, which makes up 95 percent of our economy.

We are currently experiencing strong population growth – almost two percent a year – in large part because of the fact we are a destination of choice of many Melburnians.

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

An innovative business culture and strong spirit of collaboration across the public and private sector – along with our 80,000-strong locally sourced workforce are major factors in driving our growing prosperity.

Local housing remains strong, with more than 2000 new homes approved each year.

Geelong offers enormous value for money compared with Melbourne’s outer suburbs. We have the complete package: housing choices, a full range of health, recreation services and employment opportunities.

Economically, Geelong is in a period of transition. Despite some challenges, manufacturing remains the largest contributor to our gross regional product and this will continue to be the case for some time to come.

By CHRISTINE COUZENS MP

Mayor Darryn Lyons says ongoing growth in investments is leading Geelong toward a prosperous future.

The new Regional Rail Link has strengthened the important economic relationship between Geelong and Melbourne.

We are building a strong, knowledge-based workforce, and this has been a major factor in attracting a range of large new organisations.

These include the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA), the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) and other new service sectors including the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), WorkSafe and in 2016 we look forward to the new Epworth Hospital and support services.

Key economic growth sectors at present also include education and training, and professional, scientific and technical services, construction and tourism, new figures for which show double-digit growth in the important category of domestic overnight travel.

AS THE Member for Geelong, I am honoured to represent the people of our great city.

I am proud of the Andrews Government’s commitment to the largest regional city in Victoria.

We have committed $30 million to redevelop Geelong Performing Arts Centre, a much-loved facility in central Geelong that needs new life to attract more events. The redevelopment will include additional dance studios, a new facade and the conversion of the incorporated church into a 150-seat cabaret and music venue.

The Regional Jobs Fund will enable government investment in rural and regional infrastructure, economic development, and communities.

As part of the Regional Jobs Fund, $7.5 million has been committed to Geelong.

There is a $200 million program to establish the Future Industries Fund.

There is $3 million to support a manufacturing hub in Geelong in partnership with Deakin University and $25 million for the establishment of A New Future in Regional Victoria Fund.

There is $70 million to upgrade Simonds Stadium.

This is not just about Geelong Football Club, it is also about job creation, local procurement and identifying future events.

It also focuses on installing a state-of-the-art rehabilitation centre that will be used by the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) and WorkCover in Geelong.

WorkSafe will relocate to Geelong, which will build on the insurance precinct on which the TAC and WorkCover are actively working.

Geelong has strongly welcomed the 10-year agreement negotiated with Jetstar and the Andrews Government.

Geelong will also share in the largest investment in our education budget in Victoria’s history.

With a focus on jobs and a Back to Work scheme, the Andrews Government is working hard on start-up projects, inbound trade missions, stamp duty relief and payroll tax relief to support small business.

Other commitments to Geelong include new maintenance and stabling for V/locity trains at Waurn Ponds and a defence procurement office based at Deakin University.

WE ARE GEELONG $3.6b boom in major projects

An Independent Advertising Feature

City’s ‘exciting future’

GEELONG is riding a $3.6 billion boom in major projects, creating jobs and attracting interest among investors.

Construction worth $1.3 billion is either under way or nearing completion across the region.

Another $2 billion worth of investment is either awaiting commencement or in the planning stages, while $645 million in projects have been completed in the past year.

Projects underway include: Epworth Hospital stage one, $277m; Princes Hwy duplication to Winchelsea, $170m; University Hospital Geelong expansion, $93m; Baanip Blvd section to Geelong ring road, $90m; St Mary’s Tce apartments, $65m; Centre for Advanced Design in Engineering Training, $55m; and Geelong Library and Heritage Centre, $45m.

Projects in the pipeline include: Port of Geelong infrastructure works, $500m; Princes Hwy duplication from Winchelsea to Colac, $374m; Geelong Performing Arts Centre redevelopment, $140m; Drysdale bypass, $110m; Warralily shopping centre, $100m; Balmoral Quay development, $80m; and Simonds Stadium stage four, $70m.

Recently completed projects include: St John of God Hospital redevelopment; Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre expansion; Deakin University Waterfront campus redevelopment and student accommodation at Waurn Ponds; new ICU for Geelong hospital; and Carbon Nexus centre.

Residential activity has also been strong, with a record 2418 new house approvals in 2013/2014, up 20 per cent.

The value of domestic building activity stands at $691 million, up 13.5 per cent. Non-domestic building activity is at $367 million, up seven per cent.

The work on new homes is focussed around southern Geelong in the Armstrong Creek urban growth area but residential projects are also expanding on the Bellarine Peninsula and to the city from Fyansford through to Batesford and Lara.

More people than ever are also commuting between Geelong and Melbourne, according to Australian Bureau of Statistics.

Almost 12,000 made the trip to Melbourne daily, up 25 per cent, with 3650 travelling to Geelong for work, up 27.6 per cent.

By TONY ABBOTT, Prime Minister of Australia GEELONG is a terrific city. It has an impressive past and an exciting future.

I am working with your committed local member, Sarah Henderson, to listen to you and deliver for Geelong.

The coalition understands that you cannot have strong and cohesive communities without strong economies to sustain them.

Small business is at the heart of our economy and, with more than 20,000 small businesses, it’s at the heart of the wider Geelong region.

Small business tax cuts started on 1 July and they now have the lowest tax rates in almost fifty years and the instant asset write-off is already giving businesses the confidence they need to invest more, grow more and employ more.

The Government’s priorities are: creating more jobs; easing the pressure on families; building roads; and promoting more opportunity, particularly for Geelong.

Earlier this year I visited Geelong to launch jobactive – our $5 billion program to get people into work because we know that the best preparation for work is work.

Geelong is a resilient city, full of creative people.

Geelong has some of Australia’s best manufacturers and a highly-skilled workforce and this will be vital as Geelong transitions from a city of manufacturing into a city of innovation and services.

The new Australian Bureau of Statistics Centre of Excellence will be established in Geelong in 2016, generating around 250 jobs. Its association with Deakin University will strengthen Geelong’s growing reputation as a ‘knowledge economy’.

Geelong is the national leader for the National Disability Insurance Scheme and the NDIS headquarters has already brought new jobs and expertise to the area.

Geelong is a great city with a great future and I am confident that the people and the businesses of Geelong will be at the forefront of growth and innovation for many years to come.

Tony Abbott in Geelong with Liberal MP Sarah Henderson.

WE ARE GEELONG

Change an

By NOEL MURPHY

The historic Geelong Gallery, overlooking Johstone Park.

Gallery the art and soul of our culture ART IS a curious thing.

It lets us find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time, someone once wrote.

And if there’s a curious place to get lost in Geelong, it’s the city’s art gallery.

The hallowed chambers of the Little Malop St institution – one of the nation’s oldest and leading galleries – host some remarkable artistic expressions collected over the past century and more.

Among its finest are Australian works such as Eugène von Guérard’s The Barter, The Weatherboard Falls and View of Geelong, Louis Buvelot’s On the Woods Point Road, Frederick McCubbin’s A Bush Burial, and Russell Drysdale’s Hill End.

The greatest strengths of the gallery’s permanent collection are colonial paintings including an array of early images of Geelong and its wider region such as John Skinner Prout’s lithograph Geelong, and Alexander Webb’s Yarra Street, Geelong.

Colonial metalwork such as Edward Fischer’s Geelong gold cup (1890), works on paper from the 19th Century to the present, and contemporary Australian paintings, sculpture and decorative arts round out a striking catalogue of major works.

Smaller but also fine holdings of British and European paintings include The Pier Head by Alexander Stanhope Forbes, The Babylonian Maid by Edwin Long, Reading the Bible by Thomas Faed, and Benjamin Leader’s On the Thames.

The gallery was opened in 1896 and is presently looking to expand its exhibition, storage and preparation space. In the meantime, the new library/heritage centre being built next door will offer some respite.

It will be connected to the gallery’s foyer, allowing a purpose-designed special exhibition space for the gallery’s use until its own redevelopment can be achieved.

In addition, the new heritage centre will offer the gallery some additional basement storage space and the shared loading bay.

The gallery presents a full program of exhibitions, First Friday lectures, floor talks, education and school holiday programs and a range of valuable sector and community activities.

IF ONE thing in life is certain, apart from death and taxes, it’s change.

It’s a term that might be synonymous with Geelong, which is changing constantly on virtually every front - population, jobs, shopping, housing and more.

The city started out nearly 180 years ago as a small farming-trading outpost almost as far from the civilised world as it could possibly be.

But Geelong has moved through various guises to become a sophisticated first world city, one that connects globally every day.

But who and what is the Geelong of 2015 exactly?

Well, chances are you’re working in the health, retail, manufacturing or education sector - just like more than half Geelong’s 78,000-strong workforce.

A great many Geelong workers receive their pay cheques from Barwon Health, the Department of Education, Deakin University, City Hall, Cotton On, Target, Coles or Woolworths or the Catholic education system – they’re the biggest single employers in the region apart from the small-business sector.

But for a city supposedly being hammered by the exit of major industrial players Alcoa and Ford, it’s perhaps surprising to find about one in eight people working in manufacturing – running third to health and retail as the sector employing the most people in the region.

In fact, manufacturing is anything but dead in Geelong, generating $1.85 billion a year as the region’s single biggest wealth-generating sector.

Running a distant second is the health sector at $954 million – much of it paid by the public purse but employing 16 per cent of us.

Retail keeps 14 per cent in work and generates $691 million, almost a third of the contribution of local manufacturing operations.

So who else keeps the region 220,000-plus population in gainful employment? And how much do they pump into the region’s economy?

The numbers might be dry but they’re still interesting: education/training, 11 per cent, $753m; accommodation/food services, seven per cent, $280m; construction, seven per cent, $614m; public service/safety, five per cent, $426m; and professional/scientific/technical services, five per cent, $465.

Other sectors employing more than 1000 people include: transport, postal and warehousing; financial and insurances services; wholesalers; administration and support services; and rental, hiring and real estate.

All up, the city hosts 16,000 businesses. Its gross regional product total $10.65 billion, climbing around two per cent a year even though unemployment currently running around seven per cent.

Socially, Geelong’s homefront is vastly different to the lifestyles of the past, which were often crowded although on larger allotments. New house blocks today are smaller and built out almost invariably to the fenceline.

The total 99,500 dwellings at last official count across the region – servicing that population of 220,000 – give an idea of how medium-density poli-

St John’s earns tick for quality

Geelong’s enviable lifestyle is set to drive further growth as new residents make their homes in the city by the bay. cies have impacted on living spaces.

Change remains the constant, though, and Geelong is bulging at its borders as new estates and suburbs spring up across its length and breadth – from the rapidly-growing Bellarine Peninsula in the east, then expanding

north and west near the ring road and into southern reaches closer to the surf coast.

The population is expected to grow almost 50 per cent in the next 20 years – a fact driven by price advantages over metropolitan Melbourne, lifestyle

choices and new job opportunities.

The fact Melbourne continues to grow by between 75,000 and 100,000 a year places extraordinary pressure on its infrastructure, schools, hospitals, roads, trains and numerous services – all of which makes the Geelong region

look an evermore serious alternative.

However, the growth brings new demands and challenges for those bigticket infrastructure items in Geelong, too.

Some things, it seems, never change.

ST JOHN’S Lutheran Kindergarten has earned a rating as Exceeding National Quality Standard.

Located on-site with St John’s Lutheran School, the kinder program helps children gradually make the adjustment from home in a nurturing environment.

The kindergarten offers a 16-hour contact week, with children attending over three days.

The program comprises two full days and one half day in a timetable sought-after by parents but usually unavailable at other centres.

St John’s kindergarten promotes activities important in the development of stable, happy children.

Students learn how to be creative, constructive and independent in a Christian environment during ‘creative play’ time.

Children learn more through play than any other means, with the chance to explore and test ideas.

Creative play involves experimenting with substances like clay, mud, dough, sand, paint and more.

The kinder also helps children develop selfdiscipline and responsibility for their actions in an atmosphere encouraging self-control rather than just obedience.

The teachers maintain tight control but the children learn to make choices about the responsibility and consequences of actions.

As kindergarten is the first stage in a continuing education process, St John’s ensures an easy transition from kinder to primary.

With many families choosing to continue the St John’s transition program, preference is given to children continuing their educational journey on the same site.

Passionately coeducational, the college believes that girls and boys learn and lead best together.

With significant and rapid changes in industry, leadership and community and social structures, the college focuses on relevant learning for a future that will be very different to contemporary life.

Research suggests that most students at school now will: work in jobs yet to exist; live and work in three different countries; and have six career changes.

To thrive they will need to: be good decision-makers; strong communicators; capable of thinking through major issues to inquire and solve problems; and be ready

to show the world what they have to offer.

The college’s new Vision for Learning identifies and integrates a series of capabilities into all learning experiences, projects and co-curricular opportunities.

Categorised as Identity, Creating, Communicating, Enterprise, Creativity, Thinking and Contributing, they are the capabilities young people need to develop to become independent, informed global citizens who understand that importance of learning to how to learn.

Future of city looks healthy A MASSIVE structure taking shape at Waurn Ponds stands stark and apart from its green open surrounds, nearby housing estate and university buildings a kick away to its south.

It’s almost emblematic, in a way, that the building has such a singular, stand-alone aspect. For in many ways it’s representative of a bold new world for old Geelong; a world of research and education, of medical and health research and advances – the type that will colour much of the region’s future.

Health is already a powerful part of the regional economy. In fact, it’s the largest individual job sector in the region, employing 12,500 people.

And it’s growing apace as Geelong looks to position itself as an important carer, teacher, researcher and developers of all things medical.

Epworth’s $277million, seven-storey investment on the windswept heights of Waurn Ponds is a key part of that and, while some time in coming, is set to open next year with an impressive range of facilities including: a 24/7 emergency department, medical, surgical, maternity and rehabilitation inpatient beds, a range of surgeries, medical consulting suites, rehabilitation facilities, a complex care unit, and a maternity ward.

Critically, Epworth Geelong will be a teaching hos-

pital. It will host a clinical education and simulation precinct to, as it says, “enhance the clinical knowledge of nursing, medical and allied health staff and students”.

The purpose makes the hospital clearly one of the most important long-term players in Geelong’s economic aspirations. Not only will it be providing jobs – 250 workers are already building the place – and health care, it will pump out staff and research and the potential they offer the future.

For a city where the future is being mapped out along the streams of knowledge and research, defence, advanced manufacturing, tourism, information communications and technology, food and agriculture, Epworth’s arrival will be the vanguard of a renewed health focus.

That’s not a focus that might be understated. Geelong’s health quotient, in terms of research, care and teaching, has been growing from strength to strength for years – Barwon Health even rebranded its Geelong Hospital to University Hospital Geelong to underscore that changing health focus.

“Epworth Geelong will provide the very best in patient care – with purposebuilt, state of the art facilities that integrate clinical practice, teaching and research,” says Epworth Health group chief Alan Kinkade.

Faster net to schools from Hub

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN WHILE much of the region is awaiting the National Broadband Network and its enhanced speeds, local schools are hoping for a lightning-fast internet upgrade now.

G21 Geelong alliance chief Elaine Carbines says a dedicated educational internet hub delivering the high-speed access is available for roll-out to many schools in the region.

Ms Carbines says many local schools could barely deliver enough bandwidth to allow a portion of just one class in the school to be on-line at a time.

“This horse-and-cart to Formula One transition can be ours for just $3.96 million,” she says.

“It’s impossible to over emphasise the importance of a fast viable internet platform for preparing our next generation students to drive the region’s leadership in innovation, advanced education, research, collaboration and e-commerce.”

The high-speed access would be delivered by a Geelong Secondary Schools and Community (GSSC) Digital Learning Hub. The GSSC Digital Learning Hub partners regional secondary schools, with Deakin University, Gordon TAFE and Geelong Regional Library Corpo-

ration to share digital infrastructure and resources.

The hub would use Australia’s Academic and Research Network (AARNet), a not-for-profit company owned by Australian universities and the CSIRO. AARNet already operates a worldclass high-speed 100 gigabit per second fibre optic network around Australia, with a 40Gbs fibre optic link to international destinations and a global research and education network.

Ms Carbines says AARNet could provide each partner school with a high-speed connection of 1Gbs. “No other current or future telecommunication provider – including NBN Co – can deliver content to the number of users that each of the GSSC Digital Learning Hub partners need to support at their individual sites.”

AARNet would also provide partners with access to eduroam, a global network access service providing students and teachers with seamless wireless and internet connectivity when moving to or visiting universities, further learning institutions and research facilities worldwide.

Ms Carbines says G21’s board recently adopted the roll-out of the Geelong Secondary Schools and Community Digital Learning Hub as a G21 Priority Project.

Geelong’s Marcus Oldham College is preparing students to tap into opportunities from increasing global demand for Australian produce.

Agri-boom offers new opportunities AUSTRALIA needs more agriculture and agribusiness graduates to fill a range of professional careers opportunities.

Agriculture and agribusiness graduates breeze into employment because their skills and knowledge are in demand.

Geelong College Marcus Oldham educates professionals for the agriculture, agribusiness and equine industries.

The college recently analysed the employment of its graduates, finding that many went into production agriculture, some found jobs in banking, finance and accounting, while others were successful in commodity trading.

Graduates also found careers in management, marketing, consulting or using entrepreneurial skills to develop their own businesses.

The common thread of the employment outcomes was that all graduates focussed on supporting Australia’s agricultural industries, at either the production or business end.

The number of jobs in agriculture is increasing as the nation recovers from the millennium drought and as food security and quality concerns increase international demand for Australian produce.

Marcus Oldham believes that the increasing numbers of tertiary enrolments and graduates equipped for the abundance of agribusiness and agriculture career choices is in the best interests of Australia.

The college also believes that studying agriculture offers students the opportunity of finding meaningful employment while

making a satisfying contribution to the nation.

Marcus Oldham offers on-campus degree or diploma courses as well as off-campus postgraduate studies in agribusiness.

The college topped a 2014 National University Experience for Student Satisfaction, significantly outscoring Australia’s 40 universities in categories of Quality of Entire Educational Experience and Overall Quality of Teaching.

Principal Dr Simon Livingstone says the results should give students confidence in a Marcus Oldham education.

“It demonstrates that when it comes to the learning experience and future success of our students, we mean business.”

New communities in leader program MEMBERS of new and emerging communities in the Geelong region are being offered an opportunity to develop their leadership skills with a new program starting in August.

The New and Emerging Communities Leadership Program (NECLP) provides an invaluable opportunity for both potential and current leaders within the greater Geelong region to develop their skills to strengthen the local community.

The three-month program, which will be delivered free of charge to participants, will cover topics including communicating with authenticity, breaking down cultural barriers and creating effective networks.

Guest speakers from local organisations will feature throughout the program to share their insights and experiences with the group.

The program, delivered by Leadership Victoria, will also include a one-to-one mentoring component, and organisers are currently seeking applications from local community members to volunteer to be mentors.

Leadership Victoria chief executive Richard Dent says the NECLP is a valuable opportunity for potential leaders in new and emerging communities to gain a voice and learn to work within their communities and beyond to create a better Australia.

Tuckers Funeral and Bereavement Services has long been a part of the local landscape.

Care since 1880s

A new leadership program in Geelong aims to break down cultural barriers.

“What we’ll see at the end of the program in Geelong is a group of new leaders who will have the confidence to take up informal and formal leadership roles to make a real difference, and whose voices will be heard by ev-

eryone from government to the corporate and not-for-profit sectors,” he says.

The NECLP is funded by the Department of Premier and Cabinet, with support from the City of Greater Geelong, Committee for

Geelong, Diversitat and Deakin University.

Applications for both participants and volunteer mentors are open online at leadershipvictoria. org until 20 July, with selection by interview.

WITH history that dates back to the 1880s, Tuckers Funeral and Bereavement Services has grown from a small father-and-son operation into a company that now employs more than 40 local staff.

Many years ago funerals were held in a parlour at a house, with mourners dressed in black. But now funerals are public events with a mix of colour, memories and reflections to personalise the celebration of life.

“With one eye on tradition, we’re focused on the continued improvement and innovation of funeral services for the families we serve” says Tuckers general manager Vicki Callow.

“Now the largest regional funeral director and Geelong’s oldest, Tuckers continues providing personalised services for our culturally diverse community.”

In the late ‘70s Tuckers introduced bereavement and aftercare services.

In more-recent years technology has played a major part in the development of funeral services, with Tuckers utilising personalised print production, audio-visual tributes, online memorials, and, since 2011 funeral webcasts.

“Today we share the same innovative spirit of our founders, ensuring care and quality inspires every funeral service” Vicki says.

Like other long-established organisations, Tuckers has a tradition of giving back to the community.

“We invest in local communities and our recruitment process along with business strategies assure long-term benefits to employees, their families and the communities in which we all live,” Vicki says.

Tuckers’ charitable contributions and community involvement includes support of Geelong Performing Arts Centre, Geelong Gallery, Pako Festa and the Royal Geelong Show. Tuckers also sponsors a wide range of bowls, RSL and sports clubs including the Geelong Cats as well as Barwon Health Foundation.

WE ARE GEELONG Welcome to our heritage dome

By NOEL MURPHY

The Mill Markets site at Newcomb, with eye-catching branded vehicles at front.

Market group making mark GEELONG businessman Mark Ward brings years of experience to his Mill Markets group.

The group’s three massive venues in Geelong, Ballarat and Daylesford offer 12,000 square metres of covered floor space, giving treasure hunters an opportunity to spend hours browsing an eclectic mix of products.

The markets offer a fantastic variety of home decor, furniture, records, vintage clothing, books, fine china, glassware, industrial items, jewellery, antiques, Australian pottery, homewares, memorabilia, retro fashions and collectables.

“We also have many stalls selling new products and have gift vouchers for those people who have everything,” Mark says.

“All goods are from the 1850s right through to the present day.”

Mill Markets leases space to hundreds of dealers, allowing small business operators and collectors to showcase their goods without the unaffordable overheads of operating their own shops.

“This equates to a wide and diverse range of products, available and open to the public, seven days a week,” Mark says.

“Enjoy a wonderful trip down

memory lane through hundreds and thousands of items available for purchase at all three locations. With over 500 stall holders over three venues, there’s always something for everyone.

“Travel The Amazing Mill Markets ‘Golden Triangle’ and enjoy quality food and coffee at each. All venues open 10am to 6pm seven days a week, excluding Christmas Day. Mark appears on Channel 31’s Antiques with Attitude at 7pm Wednesdays.

Mill Markets Geelong is at 114 Bellarine Hwy, Newcomb.

THE PINK-capped, geodesicstyled dome rising over Johnstone Park speaks to a new heritage emerging from what was a reeking swamp in Geelong’s beginnings.

The stagnant pool, fed from a creek-bed along present-day Gordon Ave and cut off from its Corio Bay destination by earthworks on Gheringhap St, was to have been a public reservoir but swiftly became a dumping ground.

Animal carcasses polluted its waters and people even drowned there before it was drained and gardens planted across its reaches.

Ferneries, flowers, trees, ornamental settings, even staircases and sunken formal garden beds sprang up in the park.

So, too, did architectural edifices around its borders: the classically-inspired town hall and war memorial, bluestone churches and banks, courts and police utilities, an imposing cantilevered ‘Irish pyramid’ and other concrete examples of brutalism such as an arts centre.

A new $45 million library-heritage centre occupying the six-storey dome, sharing space also with Geelong Gallery, speaks volumes to a heritage the city has struggled to properly recognise or accommodate in recent decades.

Geelong’s museum disappeared in the 1950s and local collections have been scattered across the region. The contents of the original have been scattered to the winds.

Architect Wayne Sanderson inspects work on the library and heritage centre dome overlooking Johnstone Park.

But the new heritage centre will act to change that lack of focus.

Geelong’s heritage is a rich one, geologically, culturally and historically. Its indigenous wealth is formidable, its palaeontological riches likewise, its white settlement and pioneering days replete with accounts of endeavour and achievement.

Geelong was built amid a clash of cultures, white and indigenous, and an immigration frenzy – an Antipodean diaspora - fuelled by gold, wool and the prospect of a better life, broader opportunities, in a new, developing land.

It was a wild and rambunctious place. Its first police boss, Foster Fyans, came from no less than the terrifying convict concentration camp, Norfolk Island.

People could become rich in the new southern continent and, not surprisingly, they arrived in droves.

Timber shacks and suburbs sprang up across the settlment then known as Jillong, starting to the south beside the Barwon River and to the north along Corio St beside the shore of Corio Bay. It was a rough, rudimentary village; its muddy roads rutted by hooves and wooden wheels, its water provided by cart and its bustling commerce centre not like today’s Sovereign Hill. But light, gas, electricity and manufacturing evolved, enterprises became more sophisticated as its people marched off to wars and as new waves of immigration brought others flocking to the once tiny agrarian outpost on the edge of the world.

Dams and water storages were built, running water developed.

Stormwater drains were installed beneath Johnstone Park as it became a centre of civic elegance and focal point for not just Geelong’s populace but visitors from afar.

40 years ‘and still on a roll’ ROLLERWAY Skate Centre is inviting everyone to join in on its 21st birthday celebrations this year.

Birthday parties, roller-skating, rollerblading, in-line roller hockey and an indoor skate park are just a few of the activities that people of all ages can experience.

The venue has been a skating centre for almost 40 years, with business owner Raul Aparicio taking over Rollerway from his parents 21 years ago.

Raul comes from a family of experienced skaters – his grandfather was a skate mechanic and both parents were champion ice and roller skaters.

“My dad was also a speed skater – he was involved in the early days of skating in Geelong,” Raul says.

Raul, who represented Australia in the 2014 Inline Hockey Oceania Championships, says running such a diverse business presents “many amazing elements”.

“From importing skates to online sales to running birthday parties and coaching new skaters, there are so many interesting things, but one of the most fascinating things is seeing turbulent teenagers grow into respectable young adults and parents themselves.

“They come in to skate and we guide them and nurture their sporting interests”.

“Seeing these kids progress is very rewarding – I’ve seen so many success stories and at the same time I’ve been so privileged to live the life of a professional sportsman for decades and I can now share that with so many other skating families who also support the centre.”

The business also has three generations competing in Australian National Inline Hockey Championships this year.

Rollerway Skate Centre is at 6-8 Lambert Ave, Newtown, phone 0411 33 55 44 or visit rollerway. com.au for more information and opening times.

Skaters of all ages love Geelong’s Rollerway.

10 passes to win ROLLERWAY is giving away 10 family passes on the Geelong Independent’s Facebook page.

Each pass will admit four skaters to Geelong’s premier skating centre.

NEWEST & ONLY MITSUBISHI DEALER

This has certainly been the case for Kings Cars a fiercely competitive and independent Dealer who in October 2014 became Geelong’s New and Only Mitsubishi Dealer a�er purchasing it from Rex Gorell Pty Ltd. This ownership change has opened up the Geelong retail automotive sector to much needed Competition and Dealer Choice.

Kings Cars has not only brought this increased level of competition and choice but also through it’s unique “NO Sales Commission” policy approach, it has introduced a New and Refreshing way of doing business and Customers are clearly loving it.

So much so that Kings Geelong Mitsubishi is one of the fastest growing Mitsubishi Dealers in Australia with Mitsubishi Geelong sales since the new ownership increasing almost 72%.

The investment by Kings Cars has resulted in new employment opportunities in Geelong, with its staff numbers increasing locally to 36 which takes its total numbers in Western Victoria to

over 110.

Its local Geelong Technicians have over 60 years combined Mitsubishi experience and are passionate about Geelong and Mitsubishi. Kings Cars is an employer of choice and not only is this evident in the investment it has made in facilities and the latest tooling and diagnostic equipment but it fully supports and encourages continued training and upskilling of all its valued Team members.

Kings is Geelong’s only authorised Mitsubishi Specialist Service Centre permitted to do warranty repairs as well as offer the full benefits and motoring assurance of Mitsubishi’s Capped Price Servicing Program.

Carbon dream GEELONG’S unique Carbon Nexus research centre this week listed numerous achievements after its first 12 months in operation.

Based at Deakin University’s Waurn Ponds campus, the centre aims to tap into global demand for high-tech carbon fibre materials while supporting development of new-age manufacturing industries in Geelong.

The centre says it has so far attracted industrial partners from nine countries, produced 75 batches of carbon fibre for research trials and received nine local and national research excellence awards.

The birthday celebrations began early with the announcement

in May of a $4.7 million ARC grant for a new Future Fibres Industrial Transformation Research Hub (ITRH) to develop advanced carbon fibres and nanofibres to support more-sustainable and advanced manufacturing.

The latest funding builds on a recent announcement of a $1.76 million Geelong Region Innovation and Investment Fund grant for Carbon Nexus and Quickstep to establish a dedicated automotive division at Deakin.

Carbon Nexus director Derek Buckmaster explained that the year of achievements was just the beginning for Carbon Nexus.

“The Australian Research

Council (ARC) funding for the ITRH is one example of how government and industry are confident in Carbon Nexus’ capacity to lead the way on the path to creating the world’s best carbon fibre and to driving the jobs of the future,” he said.

Mr Buckmaster, who recently returned from a visit to the United States where he participated in an inaugural meeting of an Institute of Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation (IACMI), said the global manufacturing industry was growing increasingly excited about the future capabilities of carbon fibre and that Carbon Nexus was playing a key role in its advancement.

Little Creatures has created a successful brewerly operation in a disused South Geelong mill.

Brewery toasts success in city IT WAS a long abandoned wool mill, lying dormant in South Geelong for over a decade.

But its doors swung open again in 2014 and the historic site was no longer in jeopardy of ending up lost to the community.

The team at Little Creatures knew the site had potential and dreamt of creating a brewery village of many delights.

They wanted the site refocused on the love of beer and to share this passion with the community.

The dream has since become a reality, with the historic mill now a shrine to all things beer.

Little Creatures is buzzing

1191543-KK29-15

Page 14W Friday, 17 July, 2015

with its daily brewery tours and an informal beer school.

With a passion for craft beer that extends beyond brewing, the team loves to support local makers and artisans.

The brewery’s gallery space toward the back of the canteen regularly features local artists, while the brewery transforms on the second Sunday of every month into Creatures Craft Market.

Promoting local creative output, the market is an ideal place to browse, connect and relax afterward with an ale.

The expansive village-style space will further welcome a new

addition toward the end of the year when White Rabbit Brewery opens on-site.

The new addition will add to the village experience by offering a new venue that places patrons at the heart of the brewing operation.

Barrels filled with ale will greet customers upon entry, open fermenters will be on display and a crackling fire will provide the perfect backdrop for a beer and a bite to eat.

Even better, the retail space filled with local produce will give customers a little something to take home.

More information is available at littlecreatures.com.au.

A market, casual dining and other attractions make Little Creatures Brewery a charming leisuretime destination.

m ‘nears reality’ “There are so many reasons to be excited about the future of advanced manufacturing through the development of better, lighter, stronger and more cost-effective carbon fibre.

“Carbon Nexus is well on the way to developing the most costeffective PAN (polyacrylonitrile)based carbon fibre targeted for specific applications. This brings us one step closer to one of our main aims – reducing the cost of industrial-grade carbon fibre materials.

“Our carbon fibre production line is embedded within Deakin University, enabling innovative research outcomes and already working with industry on projects that

are helping to drive the jobs of the future.

“Building a new industry takes commitment, an unwavering focus on innovation and strong partnerships between academia and industry and that is what goes to the heart of Carbon Nexus.”

Research director Professor Bronwyn Fox noted that the first year of activities for Carbon Nexus represented the culmination of a vision seeded at Deakin in 2008.

“Seven years ago we imagined Carbon Nexus to be a world-leading carbon fibre research institute, attracting future industries to research and invest in Geelong and now this vision is becoming a reality,” she said.

Diversity push for health jobs BARWON Health wants its staff to be as diverse as the community it serves.

Talent acquisition and services advisor Christine Shaw says the organisation seeks to ensure people from diverse backgrounds are attracted to working at Barwon Health.

“By building a safe and inclusive workplace we aim to attract and retain people that are representative from all areas of the community, we service” Ms Shaw says.

Barwon Health’s diversity plan includes: sourcing trainees and apprentices from the northern suburbs of Geelong; a plan to increase employment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders; and forming a project committee to become more GLBTIinclusive.

Barwon Health works closely with the Wathaurong community as it aims to increase staff representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders to one cent of the workforce.

“We also celebrate culturally significant event such as NAIDOC Week and provide cultural awareness training for all our staff,” Ms Shaw says.

Barwon Health is working with Deakin’s Institute of Koorie Education to secure a range of student placements.

Similar efforts are being made to attract staff from the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex community.

“Eight per cent of the community identify as either gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or intersex (GLBTI) so Barwon Health seeks to ensure we have an inclusive workplace culture that attracts members of GLBTI to want to work here,” Ms Shaw says.

Recognising the downturn in the manufacturing industry Barwon Health also seeks to provide alternative career pathways into the growing health care sector.

“We are working on a range of education and training for people from Geelong’s northern suburbs to engage in more skilled positions in the health care industry.”

The move ties in with plans for a new hospital hub in the north starting in 2017, Ms Shaw points out.

“Barwon Health needs to be representative of community we serve so our staff can provide the best care possible by understanding the challenges people from diverse backgrounds may face.

“We want the best to work here no matter what background they may be from.”

After the War in 1947 the couple moved to Williamstown, where Vic worked as a baker before deciding to buy the shop where he had been working and operating Victor Routley it together.

Working “days” began at midnight, when they stoked up their big brick lined “scotch” oven, fired with wood or briquettes.

They would put the pies in first, when the oven was hottest, followed by cakes and then the delicate sponges.

In 1971, Vic and Verna Verna Routley handed on the baton to their son Lawrie and his wife Anne, who have expanded the business with the help of their five children (Simon, Penny, Michael, Kate and Sam) to what it is today.

There are now also 10 great grand children, and the eldest Lawrie Routley – current CEO Michael, is now working for the business.

Viva millions boost for city SINCE transferring ownership to Viva Energy Australia, Geelong Refinery continues to support local employees and suppliers while significantly ramping up investment.

As well as Geelong Refinery, Viva Energy owns and operates an 870 site-retail network and a bulk fuels, bitumen, chemicals and lubricants business supported by more than 20 terminals across the country.

General manager of refining Thys Heyns says the company expects to invest $1 billion, with a third to be spent on the refinery, during the next five years.

“Around 750 people work at the refinery and we inject more than $200 million in wages and services directly into the local economy each year,” Mr Heyns says.

“Recently we announced a $23 million investment to construct a fuel pumping station on an existing pipeline between Geelong Refinery and our Newport terminal to increase the amount of fuel that can be transferred by more than 24 per cent.”

Viva Energy is also the last manufacturer of bitumen in Australia, currently supplying more than 50 per cent of bitumen to Victorian roads. Already $30 million has been invested in a new bitumen tankage and gantry and plans are being developed for a bitumen export line to service other states.

US supercar rolls on high-tech local product

3216 CODE FOR MUMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BATTLES P3

REVVED UP: Carbon Revolutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jake Dingle and Corangamite MP Sarah Henderson with one of the new wheels.

The wheel deal

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG manufacturing has a renewed connection with Ford after Carbon Revolution announced yesterday a deal to supply wheels for a new Shelby Mustang GT350R. Despite Ford shutting down local manufacturing next year, Carbon Revolution hopes the contract with Ford USA could be a forerunner to further deals for high-performance vehicles.

The contract is the first manufacturer deal for the Deakin University-based start-up, although it has sold wheels into vehicle aftermarkets for marques including Porsche, Lamborghini, McLaren, BMW and Audi.

Carbon Revolution chief Jake Dingle said the deal effectively

DEAL: The Shelby Mustang. meant that the company was in mass production.

Further contracts could double the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employment to 300, with Carbon Revolution already employing ex-Ford and Alcoa staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hats off to Ford, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re first in the world to include a carbon wheel as standard,â&#x20AC;? Mr Dingle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve now got bragging rights by bringing the first carbon wheel to market.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;People will be amazed at the performance of this vehicle. Ford has turned it into a genuine track machine.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Dingle said Carbon Revolution was working on other manufacturer deals that he could not yet reveal.

Carbon Revolution was also exploring opportunities in aerospace that were â&#x20AC;&#x153;a real possibilityâ&#x20AC;? in the next five years, he said.

Fitted as standard to the Mustang GT350R, the lightweight carbon-fibre 48cm-by-28cm wheels save 8kg each, a significant 50 per cent saving over aluminium wheels.

The reduction in â&#x20AC;&#x153;unsprung weightâ&#x20AC;? adds significantly to the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top speed, acceleration and handling.

Although Ford has yet to set a price for the new Mustang, motoring reports citing leaked dealer information said the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting price would be US$63,495, or a touch over $86,000 Australian.

However, the GT350R is unlikely to be released in Australia, although a lower-performance variant will arrive.

Federal Industry and Science Minister Ian Macfarlane said the deal was a glowing endorsement for the Geelong-based company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great day for Carbon Revolution and Australian advanced manufacturing,â&#x20AC;? Mr Macfarlane said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Funding from the Geelong Region Innovation and Investment Fund (GRIIF) has

been very important in helping Carbon Revolution to develop products for the global automotive market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a significant achievement and demonstrates that Australia is continuing to play a very important role in supplying the global auto market,â&#x20AC;? Mr Macfarlane said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shared history with Ford makes this announcement particularly significant.â&#x20AC;?

Round one of the GRIIF provided $5 million in funding to Carbon Revolution for construction of its $24 million purposebuilt manufacturing facility.

Federal Member for Corangamite Sarah Henderson said the contract was â&#x20AC;&#x153;an absolute gamechangerâ&#x20AC;?.

Double Take

By Kyle Davis So, you’ve dropped your phone in water (or other liquid, some forms of which probably don’t bear repeating).

What do you do now? Well, it seems the rampant advice across most Google searches is to pop the thing in rice, cross your ingers (and toes) and hope for the whole nasty business to wash away (so to speak).

Well, I am here to tell you that this is unequivocally, unmistakably, absolutely and any other relevant synonyms; wrong.

COMMUNITY consternation has greeted the news that Geelong councillors will have an extra Tuesday night off a month.

A majority of them voted this week for a sixmonth trial of meeting monthly, ditching the long-standing arrangement of meeting twice a month.

At least the matter enjoyed bipartisan support, with councillors on either side of the political fence joining forces to overwhelm sole dissenter Stretch Kontelj.

Some pundits consider the trial a cop out, reducing councillors' workload while limiting community access to council in action.

To keep everyone happy, Double Take offers the obvious solution: 50 per cent less pay for councillors while meeting 50 per cent less.

Sounds fair, doesn't it councillors?

Councillors? Hellooo?

'VOMIT comet' and 'spew cat' are labels an ambitious Geelong-Burnie catamaran is struggling to overcome as it seeks support for its resurrection by Tasmanian Senator Jacqui Lambie (pictured).

The proposed ferry, which also has the support of Geelong Mayor Darryn Lyons, would be a large catamaran five to eight times the size of a TT-Line Devil Cat that ran between 1997 and 2002.

But the suggested fares of $50 for passengers and $80 for cars contrast with $500 million in setup costs.

And the Burnie Advocate this week suggested, the new cat would have to shake off a less-thanglowing name for making passengers green in the heavy waters between the mainland and Tasmania.

“Once labelled the ‘spew cat’ or ‘vomit comet’, the Bass Strait catamaran had a reputation for seasickness and delays,” it reported.

FEDERAL Speaker Bronwyn Bishop’s been negotiating all sorts of rough weather over her $5000 chopper ride from Melbourne to Geelong to attend a fundraiser for Liberal member Ron Nelson's failed bid for Bellarine at last year’s state election.

Critics have all but totally hijacked Twitter in recent days to slam her but sometimes with a hint of rude humour amid the insults.

As a ‘John Wren’ suggested: "If BronwynBishop’s chopper had ditched at the Werribee sewerage ponds on way to Geelong she’d have emerged cleaner than she is now".

Ged Sweeney opined: “Instead of taking a taxpayer funded helicopter from Melbourne to Geelong, Bronwyn could have used her broomstick”.

Yet another, David Kindon, suggests Bronnie’s driver dropped her off in Melbourne then drove to Geelong to greet her on arrival.

Other wits, such as the ABC’s The Drum editor, Chip Rolley, posted the assault helicopter scene from Apocalypse Now, saying he was “exploring alternative ways to get to Geelong”.

Bronnie might be well advised, like in the film, to sit on her helmet.

Geelong’s thieves out in the cold

1158308-CB47-14 PROUDLY AUSTRALIAN OWNED & INDEPENDENT

Email: editorial@geelongindependent.com.au

GEELONG’S cold snap failed to deter the region’s criminals from venturing out, with a spate of overnight burglaries and thefts early this week.

Thieves raided a business in Fyans St, South Geelong, in the early hours of Tuesday and stole a car, used soon after in a ram-raid attempt at Stihl Geelong.

They followed up with anoth-

er attempted burglary at Gyprock Trade in nearby Crown St. Grovedale business Sandman Bedding had a roller door forced and two beds stolen, while thieves escaped with a laptop from Geelong Canoe Club.

Cash was taken from a register at the Little Green Corner Café in Lt Ryrie St, Geelong, while Lucky Phil’s Milk Bar, at Manifold

Heights, had its front glass door smashed and donation tins stolen.

A tradies' white Mitsubishi van containing power tools was stolen from outside the owner’s house in High St, Belmont, and two cars were broken into in Virgillia Sq, Corio.

Police asked anyone with information to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Charity van found day ahead of replacement

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN POLICE have found a charity’s stolen van used to provide emergency relief to thousands of people in Geelong.

Ironically, the van was recovered the day before the agency was set to order a replacement.

UnitingCare Geelong suffered a major setback when thieves stole the community service agency’s vehicle from its headquarters on Reserve Rd, Grovedale, in May.

Police located the 15-year-old white Ford Transit van in Deer Park with a damaged ignition, cracked glass and stolen numberplates.

UnitingCare Geelong chief executive officer Des Younghusband said the insurance company had paid out for the claim because the vehicle was missing for more than six weeks.

The van was the agency’s only transport for distributing and picking up food for disadvantaged families and individuals, he said.

“It came as a blow to us because we’re one of the largest charity groups in Geelong who help people in times of need.

“Fortunately, we had enough food to supply our clients. Our insurance company arranged a hire car.”

The Independent reported in May the van theft was one of a number of setbacks that left the charity appealing for public assistance.

The setbacks led to an outpouring of generosity from the community. St

Alban’s and St Andrew’s Congregation in East Geelong donated $25,000, a South Geelong Congregation donated $13,500 and the Geelong Lions Club donated $2000 to help Uniting Care purchase a new vehicle.

“It’s testimony to the fact that the Geelong community are our biggest supporters and we can’t thank them enough,” Mr Younghusband said.

UnitingCare Geelong expects to receive its new Toyota Hiace early next month.

In brief Snapper bust A CATCH of 54 undersized snapper from North Geelong cost two Melbourne men $3600 in fines.

Geelong Magistrates Court heard on Wednesday the pair were reported to a fisheries department hotline, with officers apprehending them at St Helens and dumping their dead fish back into Corio Bay.

Tatts win A DRYSDALE syndicate has won a $1 million in a Tattslotto draw with a ticket from their local agency .

Drysdale Village Lotto owner Jack Breen was unsure of the syndicate size but expected each member would reap “around $150,000”.

Race returns TWO OF the world’s leading bicycle road-racing teams have confirmed they will compete in the second Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race.

Evans’s former BMC Racing team and Orica GreenEDGE will take on the race, now classified one level below the UCI World Tour.

Storages steady RAIN accompanying a cold snap across the region has halted a slide in water storage levels.

Barwon Water recorded the storages at 57 per cent of capacity this week, down more than a third on the same time last year.

Lang signs Teenage Colac footballer Darcy Lang has secured another two years with Geelong Cats.

The 19-year-old, a first-round draft pick in 2013, will play on after 14 games so far.

HELPING HAND: Rayna Hollis at the 3216 Connect op shop in Grovedale. 141710

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN RAYNA Hollis is a battler, regardless of her postcode.

The Belmont single mum admits bringing up her two daughters is a struggle.

But her 3216 postcode, widely perceived as one of Geelong’s affluent areas, only makes it worse.

“The social services don’t really acknowledge the affluent postcodes,” said Rayna, who “everyrone” calls Ray.

“All the resources go to the northern suburbs but doing it hard is no respecter of postcodes.

“It’s not confined to where you live but if you’re not in Corio you don’t get help.”

Ray also battled with higher rent in Belmont than other suburbs, despite receiving Aboriginal housing assistance.

So she was relieved to discover 3216 Connect and its op shop in Dendle St, Grovedale, through a primary school newsletter.

“It’s made a huge difference,” Ray said simply.

The op shop, established under the auspices of South Barwon Christian Reformed Church, has been running for 12 months.

Pastor Clinton Berends said the shop was a great way to connect with people suffering disadvantage in the area.

“We wanted to serve the local community better, to have a presence and place in community,“ he said.

“We’re discovering through the op shop that a lot of people with disadvantage are from this area.

“Being in this postcode can sometimes be a façade and hide some issues.”

For Ray, the shop was an opportunity to move from being helped to becoming a helper.

“I know there are people worse off, so I donate stuff we don’t need any more,” she said.

“It works both ways.”

BIG BOX: An objectors’ concept image of the proposed ALDI as it would appear from the start of the Great Ocean Road.

Buy a King

ALDI in battle on ocean road

Queen

By NOEL MURPHY TORQUAY’S anti-development lobby is protesting plans for an ALDI supermarket overlooking the start of the Great Ocean Road.

More than 850 people have ‘liked’ the Stop Aldi in old Torquay campaign since it began on Facebook last week.

The site’s anonymous administrators have accused Surf Coast Shire officers of “grossly misleading” councillors on the proposal, ignoring recent planning scheme changes and relying on “outdated” consultant advice advocating the site for a supermarket.

ALDI said after announcing its plan two months ago that Torquay shoppers had a “strong appetite” for the company. ALDI called on residents to support its supermarket proposal.

The store would create 15 to 20 jobs and open in 2017 if approved.

Torquay has three existing supermarkets, with a second Woolworths store proposed for a

or Double mattress for the price of a Single

new commercial precinct in the town’s north.

Objectors argue on the Facebook page that the ALDI store will be a “concrete slab building at the gateway to the Great Ocean Road”.

The building would be sited on a car park and adjoining vacant land between the Great Ocean Rd on one side and Rudd Ave on the other.

The campaign, backed by flyers and posters around Torquay, including in opposition supermarkets, also argues that the supermarket will cause traffic congestion from the loss of car parking.

ALDI should instead build in the town’s northern business park, the Facebook page suggests.

“Why is the council ignoring the law?” the campaign asks.

“Amendment 66C – approved by the State Government Planning Minister on 20 March 2014 – specifically lays out the strategy for Torquay.

“Amendment 66C states that the Torquay town centre, Gilbert St, and north Torquay are the preferred options for both com-

mercial containment and future growth.

“There is no mention to expand the Bell St tourist precinct.

That means no rezoning of surrounding residential land for commercial purposes, particularly into the side streets like Rudd Ave.” ALDI has yet to make an application for a planning permit.

The first step is to rezone the land, with Surf Coast councillors asking at their May meeting for more information from the applicant before seeking the Planning Minister’s approval to exhibit a rezoning application.

Council wants additional information including a traffic impact assessment, stormwater management plan and assessments of noise and parking impacts.

Torquay residents have previously opposed development of chain stores in town along the Great Ocean Road, including Bunnings and a McDonald’s restaurant. Both eventually won planning approval.

Shoppers shocked as police swarm Ryrie St office Councillors clash on ‘loaned’ Merc

Feds stay silent on CBD raid

POLICE are remaining tightlipped on the reason for a mass raid that stunned shoppers in central Geelong on Wednesday.

More than a dozen federal police rushed the Ryrie St upstairs offices of Startup Cloud, which rents desk and office space to small business operators, including IT enterprises.

Two police remained on guard at the entrance of the building after the raid concluded.

Plain-clothed civilians were seen entering and exiting the offices later in the day.

Neighbouring business operators said police entered numerous nearby premises, including a TAB and its toilet, while searching for someone.

Federal police refused to reveal the reason for the raid or to describe anyone under investigation while the probe continued.

Tennants of the business centre, which opened late last year, include software development business Alivate.

Startup Cloud’s online marketing says: “Once accepted, we will give you a spot to work at Startup Cloud. Here you can

collaborate with other members to reach the point where you’re ready to pitch to investors.

“You will register for a pitching day, where you will have a chance to spruik your business to investors.

“Impress the investors and they will invest from $50,000 to $500,000 and help you personally build your business.

“Benefit from valuable connections your investors have, particularly in industry verticals.

We expect that you’ll stay for about another year, before you’ll need your own space.”

Office phones at Startup Cloud did not answer after the raid, including an 1800 number and mobile phone numbers.

The office offers various deals, including a hot desk for a day, week or month from $55 a week, according to one promotional account.

The offers cover wi-fi, a postal address, a board room and a lounge space, photocopier, scanner, desk, chairs or stand up desk options, AV equipment, natural sunlight, CBD amenities, a keyboard, a monitor and a mouse and 24/7 access.

COUNCILLOR Andy Richards’ claim that his loaned Mercedes is a gift worth less than $500 should be probed by the Local Government Inspectorate, according to a colleague.

Geelong Gallery boss Terry Wills Cooke lent the vehicle to Cr Richards after he crashed his own car.

He later voted with other councillors to give the gallery $100,000.

Cr Stretch Kontelj challenged Cr Richards’ claim that his use of the Mercedes was worth less than a $500 declaration threshold in council’s gifts and hospitality policy.

Cr Kontelj wanted “clarity” to ensure Cr Richards’ gallery vote was not a conflict of interest.

“A number of residents have queried how you can value the use of a Mercedes for months on end at less than $500 to hire when even rent-a-bomb costs a minimum of $30 a day,” Cr Kontelj said.

“It just puts a question mark on the gifts and hospitality policy.”

Cr Richards rejected Cr Kontelj’s claims.

“I voluntarily declared the gift under the council’s gifts policy some time ago and there’s no conflict of interest in regard to any matter before council.

“The council CEO, council officers and myself have been very clear on complying with the Local Government Act, so the only need for clarity is in regard to whether Cr Kontelj… is just confused.”

Cr Richards said Cr Kontelj should consider “retiring and giving someone more acquainted with basic facts a go”.

Cr Richards suggested Cr Kontelj was still angry after recently losing his finance portfolio.

City thumbs-up

CHECKPOINT: Police admit an unknown male to 169 Ryrie St Geelong. 141826 Picture: GREG WANE

GEELONG’S City Hall has won a thumbs-up from over 90 per cent of respondents to an annual survey of Victorian council services.

Mayor Darryn Lyons hailed City of Greater Geelong’s “best result yet” in the annual Local Government Community Satisfaction Survey.

“Our overall performance has significantly improved over the past 12 months and we continue to outperform both the regional and state average,” he said.

Ninety-two per cent of the 400 respondents rated the City’s service as “very good, good or average”.

River to run on our bore water THE ANGLESEA River will continue flowing on bore water from Alcoa’s power station after it closes at the end of next month, the Andrews Government has announced.

The Government said it was working with Alcoa “to ensure the best possible outcomes” after the closure.

“This summer, water flows from Alcoa’s site to the Anglesea River will continue at a similar level to recent years while longterm planning occurs,” the Government said.

“This is a transitional arrangement following the shutdown of the Alcoa operation. The continuation of water flows to Anglesea River from Alcoa’s site post operational shutdown closure will be regulated by EPA licence limits.

AWARE: Lisa Neville.

“The Labor Government will work with the community to better understand the Anglesea River system and identify a range of options for the estuary into the future.”

The power station and coal

mine pumps 4.5 million litres of bore water into the river daily.

The river closes to the ocean periodically despite the inflows, with locals concerned about the fate of the waterway without the Alcoa supplement. Mass fishkills have accompanied some previous closures, alarming residents and tourism operators.

The closure of the power station will also cost 80 jobs and $55 million in clean-up works.

Energy and Resources Lily D’Ambrosio said a “huge amount of work” was underway ahead of the site’s operational shutdown at the end of August.

Environment, Water and Climate Change Minister Lisa Neville said the Government was “acutely aware of how important the river is to the town and visitors”.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Archibaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forgotten tribute

Hospital attacked

Bikieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fury at â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;partner treatmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

By NOEL MURPHY AS AUSTRALIA focuses today on the art worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prestigious Archibald Prize, a stone memorial commemorating its Geelong-born namesake will sit forlorn and forgotten.

Even with two locals shortlisted for the $100,000 prize â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sophia Hewson and Samuel Condon â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the memorial, beneath cypress trees at West Oval, wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a second glance.

The memorial was erected in 1960, more than 40 years after Archibaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1919 death. Perhaps thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understandable because getting a proper handle on John Feltham Archibald has always been difficult.

Born January 14, 1856, Archibald is one of Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous sons, the founder of the Bulletin magazine.

He was possibly born in his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s police station, next to West Oval, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last long in LOCAL: JF Archibald, above, and his memorial, Geelong, leaving after a year with father Joseph, below. for Warrnambool, Ballarat and Port Fairy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but oddly not Adelaide, which Archibaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death certificate lists as his birthplace.

His JF initials were also oddly assigned â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ranging from John Feltham to John Francis and Jules Francois. Some argued the J stood for James but a government department posted him as a Julian.

His mother, Charlotte Jane Madden, was from England but he claimed she was born in France. Indeed, when he married Rose Frankenstein, the marriage certificate recorded his birthplace as France.

Oddly yet again, Archibald once told William McLeod, The Bulletinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business manager, that he was born in Warrnambool.

Hewson and Condon might hope no one holds their links to Archibald and his identity crisis against them. Hewsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-portrait entry, Delivered, is a powerful statement on her sexuality, while Condonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is a colourful check-shirted portrait of Aussie actor John Jarratt.

I JUST LOVE WORKING IN THIS JOB WITH A GREAT BUNCH OF PEOPLE When I irst joined Corrections Victoria, I was of the belief that I would be entering a hostile environment every day, but that’s actually not the case.

That’s not to say that you don’t have your issues from day to day. It’s very important to listen and observe, demonstrate good judgement, and have a sense of humour. It has become a very culturally diverse workplace, and I just love working in this job with a great bunch of people.

Hazelwood Mine Fire Inquiry

Public Hearings into Fire Preparations at the Anglesea Mine

DETECTIVES are still hunting a hit-run driver after a fresh appeal this week for information on the death of Corio cyclist Gordon Ibbs.

The investigators released an image of a man they want to interview over the death of the 77-year-old as he rode on Geelong-Ballan Rd at Anakie on Mother’s Day. Police believe a burnt-out car found in a car park at Wurdi Boluc Reservoir two days later was involved in the collision. The car is undergoing forensic examination.

Detective Inspector Bernie Rankin urged anyone with information to come forward.

“We have received a number of anonymous phone calls providing information about Mr Ibbs’ death,” Det Insp Rankin said.

“There are people out there who know who is responsible.

WANTED: An image of the man police want to interview.

“Mr Ibbs’ family have been traumatised by his passing and I ask anyone who has provided information anonymously to police to consider Mr Ibbs loved ones and to have the courage to come forward and provide that piece of information to enable us to charge and prosecute the offender.

“The person who struck Mr Ibbs and left him to die on the side of the road does not deserve to be protected by anyone. It was a callous and cowardly act and shows a contemptuous attitude to the value of a human life.

“To leave the scene of a crash where someone has been hurt is just an extreme act of selfishness.

One asks why the offender would do this – is he a disqualified driver, was he intoxicated or had he taken drugs?

“Whatever the reason, he put his own interests before another human being, and he should be condemned for it.”

Det Insp Rankin said investigators were convinced at least one other person assisted the driver after the crash.

“I ask anyone who may have assisted the offender to consider their position, if they come forward of their own accord.”

Anglesea and Surf Coast residents and business owners are invited by the Board of Inquiry to attend public hearings into fire planning and preparations at the Anglesea Mine for the 2015-16 summer

GIANT IMPROVEMENT: Lara Giants basketball players model their club’s new clash tops, courtesy of the town’s community bank. Club president Rod Randall, pictured in the red jacket, said the new tops were in response to an influx of Giants players over the past two years. Lara District Community Bank earned sponsorship rights to the tops after supporting the club for the past six years, he said.

THE REGION’S councils argued their case for funding in Canberra yesterday, according to their alliance body.

G21 said chief executive officers from Geelong, Surf Coast, Golden Plains, Queenscliff and Colac Otway municipalities sought money for “key infrastructure and community development projects”.

G21 chair Darryn Lyons, mayor of Geelong, said the group met departmental and deputy secretaries to explain challenges and opportunities for the region.

“Secretaries and deputy secretaries are the principal policy advisers to ministers and are therefore important influencers. It’s in our region’s interests to ensure they understand our issues,” Cr Lyons said.

G21 chief Elaine Carbines said the CEOs chased funding for initiatives including highspeed internet for local schools, Geelong’s Land 400 bid to build army combat vehicles, growing Avalon Airport and finding work for disadvantaged job-seekers in northern Geelong.

In facilitating new urban growth, the City of Greater Geelong has implemented Development Contributions Plans across various growth area precincts to ensure required infrastructure is provided to serve these future communities.

A Development Contribution Plan specifies the type of infrastructure to be provided, shows calculation of cost and apportionment and allows the City of Greater Geelong to collect development contribution levies. These levies are then used to provide infrastructure that serves the whole precinct.

In accordance with the provisions detailed in the Development Contributions Plans and Section 45.06 of the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme, the City of Greater Geelong is required to publish indexed development contribution charges after 1 July each year.

These new indexed charges are detailed below and reflect development contributions applicable between 1 July 2015 and 30 June 2016.

Cheril, Lara BUCKETS to Centrelink. I correctly reported but still had not received my payment three days later. No explanation was provided, so I can only assume it was due to incompetence. I live cent to cent on Newstart. The ombudsman will hear if it happens again.

Angry And Broke, Herne Hill

BOUQUETS to a generous truckie who paid for my tankful of petrol after my credit card failed at a new service station on Geelong’s bypass. I asked for a contact number to reimburse him but he cheerfully declined as he climbed back into his big rig.

Irene, Bell Park BOUQUETS to the person who found my purse in a change room at Leisurelink Waurn Ponds. I was so relieved to discover it had been handed in at reception. The person responsible made a pensioner very happy.

Shirley, Belmont BOUQUETS to a counter salesman at National Nuts & Bolts South Geelong for his effort when finding me a oneonly steel nut with an uncommon thread for my trailer and for then not charging me. Great service is not often found.

Satisfied Customer, Anglesea

DNT, Herne Hill BUCKETS to the Cats for yet another insipid effort. I predict a major whooping by the Dogs this weekend. The handbag is back at Kardina Park. Would you like perms with that, ladies?

Stranded kids at risk GROVEDALE and Marshall have hopeless bus runs for school children.

Passengers boarding at the Barwarre Rd bus stop have to inform the driver they need another bus at Marshall Railway Station to go to Grovedale College. But the bus from the station doesn’t always wait for the passengers from Barwarre Rd, leaving students dangerously stranded and late for school.

They need a bus to attend all the stops and to stop at schools in Grovedale, Marshall and Belmont.

Not all kids live near their school and many of their parents are at work by 7am.

When will this be fixed – when a child is hurt or abducted?

The buses are catering for Deakin University and railway stations, as they should, but forget about schools and shoppers.

Dot Pearce Grovedale

More than just love

Email: editorial@geelongindependent.com.au PO Box 407, Geelong, 3220 Fax: 5249 6799

If this right is extended to religious people, why not to anyone who desires to have more than one legal spouse?

Places where marriage equality has been enacted have ended up with bizarre family formations, such as in the celebrated New Zealand case of two mummies and two daddies.

The interests and protection of children should be paramount. Children’s interests are best-served by the traditional understanding of marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

The traditional model has had failures, to be sure, but I can assure readers that gay marriage would lead to more relationship failures and abuse of children, based on overseas research.

This matter is too important to leave to politicians – give the people their say at the next federal election.

Alan Barron Grovedale

Credibility goes flat

MANY letters in the Independent on 12, 19 and 26 June supported same-sex marriage but none told the full story.

After reading the letters, I’m sure many readers were left confused and would like to know the truth.

Besides the justification of love, which was mentioned many times, I’m sure there are many other aspects of same-sex marriage the writers could inform us about, which would be very enlightening.

I would suggest that before putting pen to paper they do a lot more research on the subject.

In conclusion, why has the Christian clergy in Geelong, apart from Pastor Frank Lowry, been conspicuously silent on this subject?

Perhaps one or several of them might like to comment in the Independent.

B Whitrow Belmont

THE MANY recent letters to the Independent with advice on global warming/climate change seemed mostly from people intent on declaring themselves deniers.

Few of the writers put forward any credentials that would have helped us accept their credibility on this vital subject. Being non-scientifically trained, I prefer to rely on advice from those with the backing of the vast majority of climate change scientists, including NASA. US President Barack Obama’s statement to David Attenborough on Foreign Correspondent, 29 June, carried far more credibility than the advice of many of the Independent’s letter writers.

“I don’t have much patience for anyone who denies that the problem is real,” he said.

“We don’t have much time for a meeting of the Flat Earth Society.”

Religious experience

Just do something

CORANGAMITE MP Sarah Henderson has come out in support of gay marriage.

I’d like to ask her, why stop at same-sex marriage?

There are religions practised in this country that permit plurality of wives. In a multicultural society, shouldn’t religious people be permitted to marry more than one wife?

I RECKON Peter Rees (Letters, 10 July) could be on to something and that global warming warnings are just a nefarious plot by lefties and communists to overthrow capitalism and democracy.

But if that is the case, why are the US and other capitalist democracies doing something about it?

Testimonials Just wanted to say how happy we were with our most recent move. We have moved 5 times in the past 7 years in the Torquay area and Geelong Removals did the best job, hands down! Lyn was such a pleasure to deal with on the phone and the guys were so efficient and happy doing their job - my stress levels melted the minute they showed up (right on the time mind you!) If you are moving and debating who to use, try Geelong Removals and you won’t be disappointed.

I would like to thank the team at Geelong Removals for your help with my recent move. I would particularly like to thank Adam and Nathan, my removalists for the day. They were punctual, polite, careful, efficient and extremely hard working. A credit to the company. I have no hesitation in recommending your service to others.

Zany songbird lyrics write on

By NOEL MURPHY

UNIQUE: Geelong’s Younis Clare is back playing music after an illness setback. nerve injury. Living in London at the time, she found herself housebound and miserable for lengthy periods.

She rallied, in time, with the assistance of acupuncture after exhausting traditional medical efforts. The hiatus had left her musically bereft, so Clare has welcomed her return to singing, songwriting, guitar-playing and performing.

She cites a broad range of influences to her writing, among them Ry Cooder, Joni Mitchell,

Leonard Cohen, Jackson Browne, Martha Wainwright and Jarvis Cocker, but her style has a unique tenor.

The former Port Campbell girl’s earlier musical exposure brought its own colouring, too: Irish folk, surf rock, hanging with the Brian Jonestown Massacre lads at LA’s Laurel Canyon, creative arts at Melbourne University, boarding at Geelong College. .

Clare will play The Workers Club with guests Rach Brennan and Nigel Wearne.

GEELONG songbird Younis Clare has a zany knack for lyrics, demonstrated in her unusual latest offering, I Love You Like Kanye Loves Kanye.

Her knack for writing makes Clare’s music accessible. She regularly receives feedback that her lyrics strike a chord with listeners who’ve experienced the same feelings she sings about.

But an issue she hasn’t penned yet is a poignant situation facing her mum, which has become part of a plea that Clare’s put out to fans and supporters before tonight’s gig at Geelong’s freshly re-opened Workers Club.

“It’s super last-minute because my mum is having brain surgery and will lose the hearing in one ear,” she said.

“She’s asked to hear me play in stereo one last time.”

Clare is a folk-pop troubadour with silver lyrics and a nightingale’s voice. Tonight’s gig will be her first show back in Geelong for a few years and a homecoming of sorts for a musician who’s not only been globetrotting but through the wars in the interim.

Clare was incapacitated for the better part of two years when she lost the use of an arm to a painful and debilitating thoracic

Idol musician goes solo man

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN PARTING is such sweet sorrow, if Shakespeare is to be believed, especially when it happens in an Irish pub.

Australia’s adopted Irish son, Damien Leith, has unveiled his writing and acting skills with a one-man cabaret, The Parting Glass: An Irish Journey.

Leith’s show tells the story of an Irish father mulling over a conversation with his recently-departed son who has spent the bulk of recent years in far-away Australia.

If the scenario sounds familiar it’s because it reflects a lot of what Leigh himself experienced, bringing a sense of personal experience into an already emotion-charged situation.

“It’s a pretty serious conversation between the father and the son. You hear about dad’s opinions on lots of different subjects, including Australia,” Leith divulged.

“But it’s also pretty funny as it covers immigration and family and being away from each other.

“The deeper story comes out in the second half, with a bit of a twist,” Leith added mysteriously.

The musician who broke into the Australian consciousness through Australian Idol has been writing for years but rarely had the chance to produce any of his works.

“I’ve always loved acting, I just needed the right play. I’ve written a few over the years and I’ve been looking for an opportunity,” Leith said.

He wrote the script and pieced it together with some of his favourite traditional Irish music as well as some more modern songs, with six monologues and 18 songs all up.

“I went through all classic songs I grew up singing and there are moments in the script that call for certain songs, from rousing Irish numbers to some deep and meaningful numbers as well.

PERSONAL: Damian Leith brings his one-man show to Geelong at the end of the month.

“Some of the older traditional songs are revamped but still familiar.

“It’s one of the most demanding things I’ve ever done but it’s getting a great response.

“A lot of people can relate to it, especially those who have lived overseas for any period of time.

Some audiences have been moved to tears.”

The show has gone on the road as Leith also promotes his new album, Songs From Ireland, similarly celebrating his heritage.

Leith performs The Parting Glass and songs from his new album at Geelong Performing Arts Centre on 31 July.

FORGET the baseball cap-onbackwards, tatt-toting, doof-doof music-crazy drongo.

Believe it or not, there are people out there who want to drive a pumped-up little car without appearing to show off.

The Nissan Pulsar SSS sedan ticks the boxes of a perky performer with restrained exterior and quality yet unremarkable interior – in effect a practical package with a stack of luggage space.

Following the comeback of the Pulsar SSS hot hatch, the SSS sedan heralds the introduction of the Pulsar Series II, with the car taking the place of the Pulsar Ti in the model line-up, enjoying the same specification but with the addition of the 1.6-litre DIG (direct injection gasoline) turbo engine, SSS body kit and rear park assist.

While the price of the outgoing Ti was $29,990 plus on-roads, the Pulsar SSS sedan is priced from $26,990 for the manual version and $29,290 for the automatic.

The Pulsar ST-L sedan gains satellite navigation with 5.8-inch touch screen, reversing camera with guidelines and Bluetooth audio streaming, all the while receiving a price reduction of $1200 from the manufacturer’s list price.

Additional value has also been added to the Pulsar hatch range, highlighted by a $3800 reduction in the MLP of the Pulsar SSS hatch. The ST-L gains rear park assist while also receiving a price cut of $1600. The Pulsar ST-S hatch has been discontinued.

Despite its own body kit, the Pulsar SSS sedan fails to mix it with warm-hatch rivals with their chiseled looks, flash colours and fancy wheels. Restraint is the catchword.

However, the Pulsar SSS sedan’s plain appearance sees it hold the surprise element at the traffic lights when, thanks to turbo power, it sees off more sporty looking machines.

The illusion is maintained on the inside with the most unspectacular decor consisting of hard plastic surfaces, subdued colour, flat seats lacking support and a generally drab ambience.

Then there is the cavernous boot, with 510 litres of room, a third more than the Pulsar hatchback. It manages that with a fullsize spare aboard.

Pulsar SSS sedan has a 5.8inch touch screen with satellite navigation and rear-view camera with guidelines, six-speaker sound system and Bluetooth connectivity.

Highlight of the new SSS is the engine, a 1.6-litre turbo-petrol

pumping out 140 kW at 5600 rpm and 240 Nm 2000 rpm, which replaces the 1.8-litre motor of the displaced Ti. This can either be connected to a six-speed manual gearbox or a continuously variable automatic transmission for those prepared to pay almost $3000 more.

Six airbags are on board and there’s an extensive line-up of active safety technology – antilocking brakes with electronic brake force distribution and brake assist, plus vehicle dynamic and traction control.

Those who like thunder with their lightning are destined to be disappointed with the Pulsar SSS. With 140 kW on tap, the car fairly skips along, but fails to exhibit aural attitude like some of its sportier rivals.

Softer suspension settings and light steering feel also add blandness to the driving experience but keep occupants in comfort even on bad surfaces some rivals would serve up to passengers.

The six-speed manual gearbox was not so accommodating, the driver having to contend with the two-three / five change-up misstep occurring a couple of times on test.

Over the period, the sedan regularly exceeded eight litres per 100 kilometre fuel consumption over a mix of city and open-road driving.

It’s got a way to catch up to the Mazda3 SP25 sedan, while Subaru WRX sedan lovers need not apply.

However, Pulsar SSS sedan buyers save a poultice on price and there’s always that element of surprise in performance off the mark.

Apollo missions achieve success APOLLO Bay kept anglers busy during the past week’s Antarctic blast.

Tackleworld Geelong’s Kevin Hunter and mate Stan Daglas ventured out of Apollo Bay in search of tuna, trolling in 40 metres of water out from Point Franklin. They boated three southern bluefins averaging 13.5kg, with Kevin noting that each fish took a Richter Jelly Babe skirted lure.

Williamstown Sportfishing and Game Club members also fished Apollo Bay, where the fishing was initially slow. The visitors eventually beached Australian salmon to 1kg, while John Greszcuks posted the weekend’s highlight with a mulloway just over 60cm.

Further down the coast, the Hopkins River provided bream and estuary perch. Oliver Andrews cast lures around the bottom section of the estuary to land a 37cm bream, while Trent Schiller fished land-based higher up the system with soft plastic Z-Man grubs for a bag of bream and estuary perch to 38cm.

Closer to home, St Leonards produced squid and whiting. Anglers fishing in 4m to 6m out from the yacht club did well on the whiting with tenderised squid.

Queenscliff Harbour fished well on soft plastics for silver trevally to 40cm.

The Barwon River estuary provided enough shelter from the weather for anglers to catch salmon, which schooled in large numbers on the run-in tide. Fish of 2kg were landed near the mouth over the weekend.

On the freshwater front, Lake Purrumbete hosted some chucky brown trout.

Tackleworld Geelong’s Michael Moore trolled Rapala Spotted Dog lures hard up against the weed banks on the east side of the lake from first light, catching a pair of 2kg brown trout. As the day progressed he began casting around the weed banks, boating two 1kg rainbows.

Bradley Cox fished Wurdee Boluc Reservoir again, casting a new colour Strike Pro Bob ‘N’ Spoon from the lake margins. Bradley put up with freezing conditions to bank an excellentlyconditioned 45cm redfin.

Improving weather should make fishing easier over the next week, with Wurdee Boluc worth trying for big redfin around the margins.

Saltwater anglers should consider chasing squid or whiting around Queenscliff, although anyone up for a drive to Port Fairy should know that big numbers of school-sized tuna are still available.

BROWN-OUT: Michael Moore with a 2kg brown trout.

Doggie ‘firepower’ for Cats at the crossroads

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN GEELONG’S season crossroads has arrived.

Losses to lower teams either side of a 20-day break and this weekend’s threat of a resurgent Western Bulldogs have the Cats collared.

And they face their moment of truth without their best player and skipper, Joel Selwood.

It’s been coming for some time.

The level of frustration felt inside the Cattery was heading toward the red line for weeks.

Selwood has been fighting a losing battle during that time and the level of impotence is enormously frustrating for player of his calibre. Tom Hawkins is in the same box.

It’s a position Geelong has not experienced much since its famous run to the first premiership in 2007.

Now it knows what it felt like for some of the teams it vanquished during that sustained period of brilliance.

The boot is on the other foot.

Coach Chris Scott was outwardly calm in his media conference this week but the vexation of the recent setbacks wasn’t far from the surface.

Asked about the Bulldogs’ impressive four-week run, Scott acknowledged a “good team” with an impressive defence and “some firepower offensively”.

“We’ve been inconsistent around the ball and at stoppages, so that’s going to be important,” he pointed out.

“But without showing any disrespect to the Bulldogs, we’ve got a few problems internally we need to arrest this week so frankly those things would be applicable irrespective of the opposition.

“The last two (games) have been very poor and we are embarrassed about it.

“The playing group is motived to do something about it.

“We had some individuals who were a bit down but prior we had been in good form.

“But if the poor performance continues we all get held accountable.”

Scott conceded Geelong’s free kick differential – the worst in the league – was an issue related to lack of dis-

cipline coupled with poor technique and closely linked to inadequate performances around the contest.

Geelong decided against appealing Selwood’s one-week suspension for rough conduct because it accepted the incident was not a “good look for the game”.

Scott said both coaches and Selwood considered it important to “support the ruling body’s decision in the interests of the game”.

“I think we have a responsibility to the game to accept the MRP’s ruling on that one and move on,“ Scott said.

“If that discourages that type of thing then I think we should play our part.“

North Geelong eyes Northcote after emerging from cellar

By JOSIP ZILIC NORTH Geelong Warriors is seeking to build on its form after leaving the bottom of the ladder with a 2-1 win against Avondale.

The Warriors’ next opponent, Northcote, has been posting mixed results with a draw last week against Oakleigh after beating former league leader Heidelberg 1-0 the week before.

A resilient team, Northcote, has leaked as many goals as North Geelong but scored 13 more this

season, occasionally upsetting fancied opponents along the way.

North Geelong’s win over Avondale showed what the side can achieve when executing its game plan and winning battles across the park.

In the opening stages of the Avondale match neither side could create a real chance on target.

The game changed on 25 minutes when North Geelong was awarded a free-kick outside the

area. The clearance found Michael Grgic, who got in behind the defence on the left to screw the ball back for Gareth Richards to tap home his first goal since joining the Warriors.

The Warriors then lifted, winning one-on-one battles around the park.

Michael Anderson beat his opponent all day in an inspired performance that included 34th minute cross from the left to the head of Richards, who secured

his brace to open up the match.

Avondale hit back almost immediately when Mathew Sanders found himself with an opportunity for a shot on goal only to see his effort deflected wide.

North Geelong came out for the second half looking to extend the margin further.

In the 60th minute Anderson beat his man again and, presented with the option to strike or lay off, he backed himself but dragged his effort across the face of goal.

Avondale mounted a charge in the last 20 minutes when a foul just outside the box saw Massimo Murdocca line up for the kick.

His effort was deflected, wrongfooting Daniel Zilic to bounce in off the crossbar and set the scene for an intense finish.

However, North Geelong’s defence held firm to close out the match 2-1.

The Warriors play Northcote at Lara’s Elcho Park, with kick off at 3pm Saturday.

INSPIRED: Michael Anderson strides the field against Avondale.
