Growth ‘too fast’ Geelong is suffering growth pains as infrastructure and services lag behind the city’s rapidly expanding population, according to municipal alliance G21 and ratepayers.

“Infrastructure is not keeping pace with growth,” said Elaine Carbines, G21 chief executive officer (CEO).

Ms Carbines urged state and federal governments to fast-track major infrastructure projects, such as railway duplication from Geelong to Waurn Ponds.

The call comes after Geelong Mayor Stephanie Asher recently backed an Australian Business Council push to give the city priority economic status.

City ‘already choked’ with more on way

By Luke Voogt

NEWS

Growth pains From page 1 The concept would see 10 regional cities including Geelong receive extra funding for infrastructure at the expense of other areas.

Ms Carbines welcomed recent government funding, including a Geelong City Deal and about $4 billion in Federal Election promises.

“But we want them to get on and do the job,” she said.

The duplication of the Geelong line was moving at “glacial pace” despite significant funding allocations, according to G21.

Barwon Heads Rd, serving the rapidly-expanding Armstrong Creek needed urgent duplication, the organisation stated.

The road’s peak-hour traffic was congested and getting rapidly worse each week as new residents moved in, G21 said.

G21 also called for a firm commitment to a “crucial” link connecting Geelong Ring Road to the Bellarine Peninsula.

Geelong Ratepayers president Peter Mitchell agreed the city was suffering congestion.

He said arterial roads like Barwon Heads Rd should be duplicated before council opened up areas such as Armstrong Creek to developers.

“People are trying to drive on it while it’s still being upgraded.”

Plans for two new Geelong growth areas, set house to 110,000 residents, indicated council had “accepted this”, he said.

Mr Mitchell said giving Geelong priority status could improve local infrastructure and help turn the city into the “economic centre it’s trying to be”.

Indy readers also voiced growth concerns on social media, with some attacking Ms Asher's suggestion that Geelong could take growth pressure off Melbourne.

“Is she kidding?” Linda Matthews said.

“Isn’t that what all the development between here and Torquay has already been doing?

“I can’t even get out of Church St Grovedale ... in the morning unless I drive down the back streets, behind the servo and get past the lights.”

IN BRIEF Sex assault

Murder appeal lost

By Luke Voogt A man who bashed a Melbourne widow to death with a brick and a golf club has lost an appeal against his murder sentence.

Peter Raymond Brown, 59, who once ran a Geelong business, last August pleaded guilty to murdering Simone Fraser at his Rockbank home in March 2018.

Supreme Court judge John Champion last November sentenced Brown to 30 years in jail with a minimum of 24 years.

Brown and Mrs Fraser were arguing outside when he picked up a brick and hit her to the head several times, Justice Champion said.

After the assault Brown attempted to suffocate her with a plastic bag and duct tape.

“However, you could still hear Mrs Fraser making noises, so you struck her head with a

golf club,” Justice Champion said.

“This was with such force that the head of the golf club snapped off.”

He then dumped Mrs Fraser’s body about 100km west of Albury.

Brown’s lawyers appealed on the basis the sentence was “manifestly excessive” but on Wednesday five Court of Appeal judges dismissed the bid.

Given Brown pleaded guilty, admitted the crime and helped police locate Mrs Fraser’s body, the sentence could be considered “stern”, the judges said.

But the serious nature of murder and the circumstances aggravating it made Justice Champion’s original sentence within “the range available”, they said.

During a 14-year relationship Brown and his then partner started a business called

Geelong Showers & Screens. But the business failed in 2005 and their relationship ended, the Court of Appeal heard.

In 2011 he commenced living at a caravan park in Rockbank and had a short relationship with the widowed Mrs Fraser.

In April 2017, Mrs Fraser received approximately $350,000 from her late husband's estate.

In October 2017 Brown became infatuated online with a woman in the Philippines despite never meeting her in person.

He borrowed money from his employer and removed $14,000 from his then gravely-ill father's account to send to the woman.

In February 2018 he resumed contact with Mrs Fraser and borrowed $3800 from her, which caused the argument leading to her murder.

A man has allegedly sexually assaulted a 29-year-old woman in a central Geelong supermarket, according to police.

Investigators said the “unknown” suspect, who they described as Caucasian with blonde hair and aged 25 to 35, attacked the woman in the Malop St store around 8.15am on 26 November.

Demolition proceeds City Hall will demolish a central Geelong building “in the interests of public safety” after the owners failed to comply with an emergency order to pull down their crumbling Belchers Corner.

The demolition, between mid-January and late April, would leave the owners with a fenced area of flat gravel on the corner of Moorabool and Ryrie Sts, City Hall said.

Woman injured A woman in her 80s has been critically injured after a car ploughed across a sports ground and into a light pole at Ocean Grove’s Shell Reserve.

An air ambulance ferried the woman to hospital after the crash on Thursday morning, with police yet to confirm before the Indy went to press whether a medical incident was involved.

Drysdale delay Geelong’s council has deferred its decision on whether to rezone Drysdale farmland for a controversially proposed redevelopment with 500 dwellings.

Council needed “more time” to consider the rezoning after hearing objections that the proposed redevelopment would damage the town’s character.

Water falls The region’s water storage levels have fallen for a fourth consecutive week, according to official measurements.

Barwon Water recorded the storages at 68.8 per cent of capacity on Wednesday after 5mm of rain and consumption of 839 million litres over the previous seven days.

Screed scrounged Investigators have recovered a $165,000 laser screed machine stolen during two raids on a Corio building site earlier this year, police have revealed.

A ride-on trowel worth $20,000 and other items remained missing after burglars targeted shipping containers on the Heales Rd site in June, police said.

Tradies awarded for bravery at house fire

By Natalee Kerr Two Geelong tradies who saved a 98-year-old man from a house fire have received bravery awards from Victoria Police this week.

Powercor workers Ben Neville, 35, and Mitch Cuthill, 33, were out on a “typical” job at Hamlyn Heights last July when they noticed flames at a nearby home.

Ben initially thought it was “just a backyard fire” but later sensed something was wrong.

“The fire had died down but there was smoke coming out of the roof,” he told the

Indy earlier this year.

After calling the fire brigade, neighbours alerted the tradesman that an elderly man could be inside.

“That’s when we thought ‘oh crap’,” Ben said.

Braving the smoke, the duo smashed a window and forced open the front door before dragging the elderly man out to safety.

Mitch said the pair had no concerns about risking their own lives during the ordeal.

“As soon as we knew someone was in there, it sort of took over and we thought ‘we better

get him out’,” he said.

Geelong Superintendent Craig Gillard said the pair's commendation was “well-deserved”.

“These men happened to be working in the area at the time and demonstrated enormous initiative when they realised a nearby house was on fire,” Supt Gillard said.

“Their heroic actions, without any regard for their own safety, clearly saved the life of this elderly man.”

Fifty police officers and employees from the region received recognition for their service

Geelong Police are hunting two men wanted separately for contravening court orders.

Police this week released images of Wayne Luttet, 49, and Mitchell Blackney, 20, saying they were possibly somewhere in the Norlane and Geelong areas respectively.

Chain-bust ‘shocks’ staff

By Natalee Kerr Staff are "shocked" after Geelong's two Harris Scarfe stores went into voluntary administration with their parent company this week, according to a retail workers' union.

Wednesday’s announcement that the chain had gone into receivership came “without warning”, said Gerard Dwyer, the national secretary of the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees' Association (SDA). “(Staff) will be very concerned as they head into Christmas,” he told the Indy.

The union would file a dispute with the Fair Work Commission after the company failed to

consult the SDA before the announcement, Mr Dwyer said.

The department store chain is one the nation's oldest retailers with more than 160 years of trading, according to its website.

Harris Scarfe has 66 outlets across Australia, including the central Geelong and Waurn Ponds stores, employing more than 2000 staff nationally.

Administrators Deloitte Restructuring Services (DRS) said the business would trade as normal during the Christmas period, with staff continuing to receive pay.

"The receivers intend to achieve a sale of

the business as a going concern and preserve the employment of as many people as possible," DRS partner Vaughan Strawbridge said.

"We will be making every effort to secure a future for the business and intend to commence an immediate sale-of-business process."

Harris Scarfe’s collapse followed fashion chain Bardot and discount retailer Dimmeys, which both have stores in Geelong, also announcing their closures last month.

Veteran central Geelong trader Hayden Spurling said high rentals, the Moorabool St bus interchange, online shopping and an in-

crease in retail floor space had “really affected” the city's retail market.

“These factors all make it difficult for retail to operate within the CBD," he said.

"It’s hard to do business in the CBD today.”

“Many people” still wanted to shop on the streets but the availability of free on-street parking was a “major issue” in Geelong, Mr Spurling said.

“We should never disregard the fact that some people can only commute by car,” he said.

“Motor vehicles will always play an important part in sustaining the retail market.”

Platform for canoe growth

By Luke Voogt A new accessible platform at Geelong Canoe Club will help more rowers feel the joy of “human-powered” boating, according to project officer Stephen Parker.

“It’s a feeling of freedom, independence and a connection with nature,” he told the Indy.

“I think those feelings are what we want everyone to experience.”

The 300-member club recently received a $76,000 council grant to replace its launch platform with a new all-abilities version.

The club’s upper-body-based sports, including canoeing, kayaking and dragon boating, had attracted many members with reduced mobility, Steve said.

“But the major challenge is getting people into the water.”

The project would be "critical" for the club’s members and rowers from the general

public with reduced mobility, Steve explained.

“It will make their ability to use the river equal to anybody’s,” he said.

“The key thing about this is it’s accessible for the public to use – it just happens to be near our club for obvious reasons.”

The club recently underwent renovations to make various facilities including toilets and change rooms more accessible, Steve said.

“This completes the picture for the club in this space.”

Brownbill ward councillor Peter Murrihy said the new platform would have “physical and social benefits” by helping introduce more people to paddle sports.

“Geelong Canoe Club does a great job welcoming participants of all ages and abilities.”

A total of 30 clubs and groups across Geelong shared in about $3 million for infrastructure projects, with six receiving maximum grants of $350,000.

Into the spirit Geelong seniors are spreading the festive spirit this year, donating gifts to those in need in time for Christmas.

The seniors from Ingenia Gardens' Geelong and Grovedale communities joined forces recently to collect presents to donate to the Bethany Giving Tree Appeal.

Ingenia Gardens’ Jane Watts, who helped organise the fundraiser, said the elderly residents recognised the need to lend a hand to those doing it tough at Christmas.

“Our residents have been really generous, donating books, art and school supplies, food and other items leading up to the Giving Tree event,” she said.

The seniors last week donated the gifts to Bethany Community Support, which provides services for battling families and disadvantaged people in Geelong.

They also donated food items for Salvation Army to distribute as part of the fundraiser.

DECK THE HALLS: Geelong seniors donated stacks of gifts to the Bethany Giving Tree Appeal last week.

Review for Spine finding Council has ordered a report into Geelong’s divisive Green Spine after an independent review found reintroducing turning lanes would only improve delays by one second.

Council voted 8-3 for Eddy Kontelj’s amendment on Tuesday night calling for a new report following the review’s controversial finding.

“This amendment seeks answers to questions about these issues that I believe are not articulated in the independent traffic review report,” he said.

The Brownbill ward councillor said community members had told him “often and loudly” Malop St was “not working” between Moorabool and Yarra Sts. “(It) is definitely not meeting their expectations when it comes to traffic flow, pedestrian

safety and parking.”

The community opposed council introducing infrastructure restricting vehicles access without first providing alternative transport links and efficient public transport, Cr Kontelj said.

“Unfortunately, the arrangement we currently have in Malop St is doing just this.”

The independent review’s finding that a left or right turn would “at most” reduce delays by one second on average baffled many Geelong locals.

“Could I suggest to the council that the next review be conducted at noon, not midnight,” wrote Corio’s Ian Moore in the Indy's letters section.

The finding comes after the Indy in June

revealed delays were six times higher at the Moorabool St intersection for traffic travelling east along Malop St. A council report stated delays had increased from 20 seconds to 137 seconds, contrasting with the review’s recent finding.

The report also estimated reintroducing turning lanes would cost $1.1 million.

This week's amendment “requests” City Hall’s chief executive officer Martin Cutter to report on timelines and pros and cons of various potential modifications to Malop St. One of these was building capacity into Malop St to efficiently service an increased traffic flow of 11,000-plus car movements per day.

The amendment also calls on City Hall to examine if it could achieve service levels for

vehicle movements equal to or better than April 2016 – before the Green Spine's construction.

Turning lanes, parking, pedestrian safety, vehicle delays at crossings and costings will also feature in the report, due next March.

Geelong Mayor Stephanie Asher pointed out the Green Spine was part of a long-term vision and had won a national award for landscape architecture.

“However, there is no question there are some aspects that don’t please everyone.”

Ms Asher said the amendment would not commit council to any actions but would inform its future decisions on how Geelong would function in the long-term.

Strike stops local flights

By Natalee Kerr

TEEING OFF: Zach Tuohy and Cam Guthrie promote The Longest Day at 13th Beach Golf Course.

Cat’s charity drive for mum

By Luke Voogt Cats midfielder Cam Guthrie counts himself blessed to still have mum around, after she was diagnosed with breast cancer when he was “13 or 14”.

“It’s a scary time, when you hear the word cancer,” he said, after teeing off for Cancer Council with teammate Zach Tuohy recently.

He remembers barely being able to think about anything else at school as she went through treatment.

“But she got through it really well and we had some really good friends and family around us,” the 27-year-old said.

“I’m pretty privileged to have my mum around and she’s living a really healthy life now, but that’s not the same for everyone, which is sad.”

Guthrie and Tuohy played at 13th Beach Golf Course to promote The Longest Day,

which takes place on fairways across Australia next Monday.

“There were times of frustration on the course but it’s just about getting out there and having a go,” he said.

“I think Zach’s got me covered, he hits a few nice balls. He’s a powerful man – he definitely sends it down and keeps it on the fairway, which is half the battle.”

Last year 230 participants raised $250,000 in the 72-hole charity event, with organisers hoping to raise $500,000 towards skin cancer research this year.

Tuohy and Guthrie will not hit the green on the day but were happy to promote the event for cancer research.

“A lot of people have dealt with it themselves or had a close friend or family member go through it,” Guthrie said.

Six flights in and out of Avalon Airport are set to be cancelled this weekend due to Jetstar workers walking off the job, according to the airline.

Jetstar’s pilots will engage in a series of fourhour strikes on Saturday and Sunday following industrial action over "stalled pay rise negotiations".

Australian Federation of Air Pilots (AFAP) executive director Simon Lutton said the union has been "genuinely negotiating" with Jetstar for almost 12 months.

"The company remains unwilling to shift on any of the pilot's pay and conditions such as rostering," he said.

“We are hoping to resume discussions with the company to reach an agreement so that no further action needs to be taken after this period."

But Jetstar chief executive Gareth Evans said “strong arm AFAP tactics" would not change the airline's stance.

“We remain committed to reaching a new agreement to support the great work our pilots do every day, but not any cost,” he said. "(The) work stoppages this weekend are completely unjustifiable and cynically timed to hurt travellers at the busiest travel time of the year."

Mr Evan’s said the AFAP’s demands for a "15 per cent pay increase in the first year" would put “significant pressure” on the low fares provided by the budget airline.

“Our captains earn on average over $300,000 a year and we are offering a three per

GROUNDED: Jetstar employees at Avalon Airport are set to go on strike. cent annual increase. This is 40 per cent above Australia’s annual wage growth,” he said.

Jetstar said they will offer refunds and alternative flights if services are cancelled or delayed by more than three hours.

The airline's baggage handlers and ground crew will also strike for two two-hour stoppages today, protesting poor conditions and pay rates, according to Victoria’s Transport Workers Union (TWU).

Jetstar workers at the local airport will go on strike between 8.30am to 10.30am and 6.30pm to 8.30pm, after 94 per cent of staff voted in favour for the industrial action, TWU said.

TWU national secretary Michael Kaine said the strike resembles a “united stand” against “poverty wages”.

“Ground crew are given as few as 20 hours guaranteed a week with rates so low that their families are forced to struggle,” he said.

“The company cannot continue to make money off the backs of its workers.”

Deakin doctors reach 1000

By Luke Voogt The 1000th student graduated Deakin University’s School of Medicine in Waurn Ponds this week – 11 years since its first enrollment in 2009.

Jordan Walter was in the latest cohort of graduates surpassing the milestone, after working the past two years with the obstetrician who brought her into the world.

During her degree she worked with Glen Barker who, coincidentally, delivered her at University Hospital Geelong, she explained.

“I think it’s made him feel a bit old if anything,” she laughed.

“He saw (me) in those first moments and now he’s seeing (me) begin my career.”

The new doctor wanted to follow in Dr Barker's footsteps by becoming an obstetrician or paediatrician at Geelong’s proposed women’s and children’s hospital.

“I love women’s health and I’d love to deliver all the babies I could,” she said.

Dr Walter thanked her family for their sacrifices and support that helped her take on the “huge” workload of her medical degree.

“I’m very proud and I definitely know I couldn’t have done it without my family and friends close by,” she said.

She will begin her internship at University Hospital Geelong next year alongside fellow graduate Elizabeth Rosin, who packed up her whole life to study at Deakin.

After being out of university for a decade, she was thrilled to receive an offer to study medicine several years ago.

“I’d dreamt of being a doctor since I was 14 … you can imagine my excitement,” Dr Rosin said this week.

“My husband and I packed up the kids, our dog and house, and headed for Geelong.”

2000 kids in $1.62m trial

By Luke Voogt Point Lonsdale professor Peter Vuillermin has received a $1.62 million grant for a 2000-child trial of medicine that could prevent recurring wheezing illnesses.

“The most common reason pre-school kids are admitted to hospital is wheezing illness,” he said.

“The families will be invested in getting a good answer for their children and the world.

It’s real exercise in people power.”

As a Barwon Health paediatrician, Prof Vullermin had dealt with children suffering severe respiratory diseases, which were “frightening for parents and everyone involved”, he said.

The 48-year-old father-of-three said this was part of his motivation to apply for the grant.

The clinical trial will test a medication called OM-85, which uses dead parts of bacteria to stimulate the immune system, Prof Vullermin explained.

“There is evidence that kids from a rich microbial environment, like a farm with livestock, seem to be less at risk of wheezing illnesses.

“Most of the current asthma and wheeze medication is steroid-based.”

The immunostimulant worked in a similar way to a vaccine without targeting a specific disease, Prof Vullermin explained.

Various viruses caused the majority of wheezing illnesses, with other causes including pollen, food allergies and exposure to air, he said.

The OM-85 could also potentially reduce geelongindy.com.au

inflammation during wheezing illnesses, he added.

A successful trial could have huge health and financial benefits, as wheezing illnesses were an enormous burden on the Australian health system, Prof Vullermin said.

“This would be something they could go home with to prevent further occurrences.”

Eight previous studies had trialed OM-85 in preventing chest infection, Prof Vullermin said.

But he was only aware of one published study, of 70 children in Turkey, which had tested the medication for wheezing illnesses.

While the study had promising results, scientists needed to replicate the findings in larger numbers to draw significant conclusions, he said.

Deakin University and Barwon Health will lead the clinical trial in 35 hospitals through Children's Inpatient Research Collaboration of Australia and New Zealand (CIRCAN).

Deakin received $5.89 million in grants from National Health and Medical Research Council towards projects, including Geelongbased research on malaria and depression.

Only about five per cent of applications nation-wide were successful, according to Prof Vuillermin.

“The vast majority would have been excellent (applications),” he said.

“One of the really hard things about the Australian system is how competitive it’s become.

“Australia’s research community is wasting huge amounts of time putting those applications together.”

Cops hunt burglars

By Luke Voogt A spate of burglaries across Geelong and surrounding towns in October has prompted a police manhunt for three alleged culprits.

Geelong Tasking and Crime Intervention Taskforce (TACIT) detectives believed seven commercial burglaries during the month were linked, police stated on Monday.

On 10 October about 3.30am three male offenders broke into a Caltex service station on Thompson Rd, North Geelong, stealing cigarettes and causing significant property damage.

Investigators released an image of an Iveco Ducato tray truck they believed was involved in the break-in and two men who could “assist with enquiries”.

Detectives believed thieves stole the truck during a burglary at Leopold on 9 October.

Police recovered the truck on 10 October after the servo bandits allegedly dumped the vehicle in Corinella St, Bell Post Hill.

Three more burglaries in three separate towns occurred in one hour on 15 October, with two alleged burglars stealing mobile phone accessories, cigarettes, alcohol and cash.

Detectives released an image of a late model silver Mitsubishi Pajero in relation to a break-in at IGA on Main Rd, Winchelsea.

They also released an image showing a burglar using a saw to cut through a roller door at the supermarket.

The other two burglaries that night occurred at a service station on Midland Hwy, Bannockburn, and at a liquor store on The Centreway, Lara.

On 27 October a further three burglaries occurred in Geelong between 1.50am and 2.15am, with offenders stealing cash and cigarettes.

In 25 minutes the burglars broke into a fast-

Detectives believed these offenders were the same three involved in the burglary on 10 October.

At least two were involved in the burglaries on 15 October.

During the seven burglaries offenders used

vehicles or large industrial tools such as demolition saws, crow bars and angle grinders to force entry, police alleged.

TACIT detectives on Monday released an image of two offenders they “wished to speak to” in relation to The Cremorne Hotel burglary.

They urged any witnesses or anyone with information on the offences or alleged offenders to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Railway strike

By Natalee Kerr No Geelong-Melbourne trains will run next Thursday due to workers striking for more pay, V/Line has announced.

The day-long strike comes after V/Line employees voted 98 per cent in favour of striking.

The industrial action would "step up" the workers' fight for better conditions, Victoria’s Rail, Tram and Bus Union announced.

Staff are seeking a six per cent annual pay rise over three years, but have been ignored, according to the union.

Buses will replace trains on the day, with V/Line urging commuters to plan for up to 60 minutes extra for their journey.

V/Line said it would communicate information on the strike via its website, app, social media and at stations.

“We will communicate this as soon as possible to ensure passengers can plan their journey.”

Meanwhile several Geelong-Melbourne trains faced cancellation or early termination in “extreme” heat conditions on Monday afternoon, according to V/Line.

Some trains originated or terminated at Geelong or South Geelong instead of Waurn Ponds, with V/Line providing connecting buses for those services.

The city’s temperature reached 38.9C after 2pm, causing other delays as trains slowed down to 90km/h or less due to steel tracks expanding in the heat.

V/Line terminated and originated a number of Warrnambool-Melbourne services at Camperdown instead of Warrnambool due to a fire at Terang.

More delays followed for V/Line commuters on Tuesday after a “significant communications fault” on the Geelong line.

The “major disruption” caused a number of residual delays up to 60 minutes, reduced capacity and cancellations, according to V/Line.

Recycling resumes for local kerbsides

By Natalee Kerr Geelong’s kerbside recycling will return next week after council sent about 10,750 tonnes of reusable waste to landfill since July, costing ratepayers more than $1.2 million.

Australia’s biggest waste management firm Cleanaway last Friday signed an agreement with City Hall to take over the processing of the region’s kerbside recycling.

Councillor Ron Nelson welcomed the return of recycling, following contract negotiations with Cleanaway since October.

“Our community has been disappointed to see the contents of yellow bins being sent to landfill, so the return of our kerbside recycling service is very good news,” Cr Nelson said.

“We’re now asking for everyone’s help to make it a success by getting back in the habit of sorting your recycling, and learning about the changes to what can and can’t be put in your yellow bin.”

Surf Coast and Golden Plains shires and the Borough of Queenscliffe also signed on with Cleanaway last week.

The region's previous waste provider SKM Recycling stopped accepting rubbish at its South Geelong depot late July, forcing councils to divert kerbside recycling to landfill.

SKM held a contract with City Hall to process 28,000 tonnes of recyclable material produced by greater Geelong each year before the shutdown.

Under the new agreement, Cleanaway will work with local councils to identify “local secondary markets” to maximise the sustainable re-use of recyclables.

RECYCLING JOY: Golden Plains and Surf Coast Shire mayors Owen Sharkey and Rose Hodge, Geelong councillor Ron Nelson and Queenscliffe Mayor Ross Ebbels.

Surf Coast Mayor Rose Hodge said the partnership with Cleanaway “meets the expectations of the community”.

“I know our community will be so relieved that a solution has now been reached and that soon we’ll be recovering materials again,” Cr Hodge said.

“Getting our recyclables out of landfill and back into the recycling stream will help limit the new resources we draw on.”

For more information about the changes to kerbside recycling in the G21 region visit www. thinkrecycle.com.au.

Deposit plans for Surf Coast Surf Coast Shire has called for a container deposit scheme and improved regional infrastructure as part of a review of the state’s recycling and waste industry.

Councillors urged for greater access to recycling and recovery facilities across regional areas in a submission to Infrastructure Victoria this week.

The submission noted the need to consider waste management from a “hierarchy”, including categories “avoid, reduce, reuse, recycle and dispose”.

Council also suggested a container deposit scheme be available for communities across the state, Councillor David Bell said.

“Most other Australian states have such schemes, which have been shown to reduce litter and result in less contaminated recycling loads, leading to higher quality end products,” he said.

The submission also called for a fourth kerbside bin and a food organics service to be implemented state-wide.

“Surf Coast Shire council has taken the step to introduce a fourth household bin to collect glass,” Cr Bell said.

“We recommend this become standard practice because of the benefits to be gained from separating glass from other recyclables.”

Council also called for a “united approach” from all three levels of government to develop a system that encourages “product stewardship” from designers, manufacturers and importers.

“Government incentives could support more decentralised facilities which would reduce transport costs, avoid conflict with residential areas and provide more competition in the sector,” Cr Bell said.

Other points made in council’s submission included banning single-use plastics, review of waste and resource recovery groups and the use of a “landfill levy” to improve waste outcomes.

BUCKETS & BOUQUETS

If Mr Mavromoustakos doesn't think there's enough parking in central Geelong (Geelong Indy, 6 December) why doesn't he provide his own?

No one forced him to build his business where it is.

How many other businesses would like free or cheap parking?

Seriously silly review I was astounded by the council’s "independent" review of Malop St concluding that it would cost in excess of $1 million to save one second of travel time by reintroducing slip lanes at Moorabool and Yarra Sts. Could I suggest to the council that the next review be conducted at noon, not midnight.

The result I'm sure would show a dramatic difference in saved time and unblock the intersections.

As for the $1 million-plus for the work, in the words of the great John McEnroe, surely you cannot be serious. This amount of money just to move some concrete and paint a few lines?

Maybe I'll tender for the work myself.

Always descending Bernie Frank (Letters, 6 Decembe) said Transition South Barwon was all about stopping the use of fossil fuels.

We conduct research at the intersection of energy, the economy, finance, the environment and community. Our research shows that the fossil-fuel age is coming to a close because of economic, thermodynamic and geologic realities, not because of activists like Extinction Rebellion. It’s not a matter of opinion.

We found the highest-grade, cheapest-toproduce coal and burned that first. Year on year, the heat content of coal has decreased and the distance from mines to thermal generators has increased. The predicted peak of global coal production is around 2025. British peak coal production occurred in 1913 and today the UK imports 70 per cent of its coal.

Clearly, thermal coal has limits determined by the cost of production on one hand and the price consumers can pay for energy or its products on the other.

Until the mid-1980s economic growth was possible because of increasing access to cheap energy. Since then growth has meant the simple spending of borrowed money, like buying and selling each other’s houses, which is neither real growth nor real prosperity.

Near-zero interest rates and an economy that needs four dollars of new debt for every dollar of growth shows we are clearly in energy descent.

As the economy continues to contract there is a growing need to educate the public about why their prosperity is in decline, why it’s global, and how it’s related to energy.

Best care assured The Royal Commission into Aged Care recently revealed some disturbing events.

It was a necessary inquiry and will hopefully lead to much improvement, but spare a thought for the thousands of competent and caring workers in this sector who may feel tainted by implication.

My mother has been a resident at Barwon Health’s Percy Baxter Hostel for the past two years. In that time I have been impressed by the ethos of respect that guides the care provided.

Each resident is treated as an individual with rights, specific needs and also talents to be nurtured. The nurses have shown professional skill and attention to detail when dealing with her health issues. All the carers and cleaners are busy each day yet find time to interact with genuine concern, empathy and humour.

Through the efforts of the Lifestyle team, whose members are passionate about providing engaging activities that cater to individual interests, my mother is physically active and socially engaged. She feels part of a caring community.

Regarding the national wildfire mess, I quote Vic Jurskis, experienced and practical environmental manager and author of Firestick Ecology, from his recent open letter to Canberra’s pollies.

“The current weather and wildfire situation is neither unprecedented nor unexpected.

“They (Aborigines) maintained healthy and safe landscapes, including the rich biodiversity that greeted Europeans, across Australia through 40,000 years of sometimesextreme climate change. They didn't need boots, overalls, hard hats, smokegoggles, fire engines, water bombers, computers, incident controllers oremergency services.

“It’s all about fuel, not climate.

“Doubling the available fuel usually doubles the rate of spread of the fire and increases its intensity fourfold.

“Controlled burning over large areas cheaply and effectively reduces the incidence of high intensity wildfires and minimises damage.

Firebreaks, so-called asset protection zones and water-bombing don’t work because of long-distance delivery of ember showers by fire storms exploding in 3D fuels during extreme weather.

“How many more Inquiries and Royal Commissions do we need to wake up to what Aboriginal people learnt 60,000 years ago, European explores learnt 200 years ago and foresters relearnt 50 years ago?

“Instead of wasting billions of dollars on ineffective water-bombers, silly computer models and hugely expensive emergency bureaucracies … we need only spend a miniscule fraction on reinstating frequent mild fire and safe and healthy landscapes”.

Perhaps the taxpayer should also chip in some overtime pay so that Country Fire Authority chief Steve Warrington (Letters, 6 December) can get around to reading Mr Jurskis’s book?

The climate dictionary It seems there is some confusion about terms used in climate research.

'Global warming' is about temperatures rising across the world.

Measured temperatures, averaged across location, season or years, are all rising at a rate much higher in the last century or so than over the rest of human history. The growth slowed a bit in the 1960s but by the 1980s it was obviously rising faster than ever.

'Climate' is simply the average weather across years, and refers to a particular location. Weather varies over time and climate varies by place.

'Climate change' is about the effects that come from rising temperatures.

It would be astonishing if there was no change since temperature is one of the major factors in climate. Other important factors are the shape of the land, the amount of water, ground cover and air-flow. The way these things work together is complicated and differs for each location.

Also, since it’s all about averages, only trends and likelihoods are possible, so any particular spot may become drier, wetter, windier, stormier, even cooler if normal currents are disrupted. It doesn't help a farmer that a desert area gets more rain if his land loses it and becomes fire-prone.

Climate change affects everyone but how it manifests depends on where you are. The 'Climate emergency' is because almost any change will drastically affect our civilisation.

After decades of warning, it’s nearly too late to bring the train back onto the track.

Peter Mitchell Geelong

City stalemate Why do City Of Greater Geelong Council, Committee for Geelong and Geelong Chamber of Commerce continue to sit on their hands while trucks of all sizes transverse and cruel 24/7 the state's now third largest municipality CBD? Ditto, why have the aforementioned trio allowed, given incentive and disincentive options, CBD commercial vacancies to remain an indictment on the ‘University City’ and a drawback in the main to critical-mass innercity-accommodation good-news additions?

From a layman's perspective, the trucks,

with Vicroads having had more than sufficient time to analyse the data, could go with a 7amto-7pm-other-than-white-van CBD curfew, which works well overseas.

Alternatively, with few road renovations and a level-crossing tunnel the Fyans-Carr Sts route to and from the Bellarine Peninsula could be utilised without a timetable.

So far as multiple and more commercial vacancies, I agreed that this is not just an issue locally.

Landlords should be offered first-up fewer council charges to significantly lower rentals, or, failing compliance, additional punitive charges as is being effectively instigated across the country for sitting on commercial vacancies.

Richard Worland Manifold Heights

Burn now, pay later Tim Saclier, Bernie Franke, Steve Warrington, Peter Rees and Alan Barron (Letters, 6 December) all talked about costs, particularly of our climate changing.

Mr Warrington did well as he counted the cost in lives and being prepared for the increased risk of wild fires. The others linked financial costs to our move away from fossil fuels but they were wrong. The costs are because we are late to the party.

Fossil-fuel pollution traps the Sun’s heat, changing established weather patterns. We have known this fact since the 1970s at least.

We have been happy to burn away because the benefits, like jobs, incomes and cheap electricity, seemed to outweigh the cost.

Economics 101 in the 1970s directed market-based democracies to make polluters pay as they polluted to ensure the full cost of producing something was accounted for at the time of production. By economic law, if we fail to do this then the accounted cost is too cheap, we use more than we should, and someone else must pay the real price, probably a lot more later on.

Australians now pay for fossil-fuel pollution as we change our means of producing electricity. The public also pays with higher prices for farm produce, insurance premiums, levy banks, rock walls, solar panels, air-conditioners and associated power needs.

Farmers and regional folk pay through lost income, lost land values and not enough water for rivers or growing crops. I’m confident world and humankind will survive, but we will pay.

Signalling hubris In commenting on the winner of a recent Car of the Year award, chief judge Richard Blackburn said the Toyota Rav4 Hybrid was “guiltfree family motoring, saving the planet without breaking the bank”.

Saving the planet? Was he serious?

If there is a problem then there’s only one who can save the planet, and that’s the one who created it.

According to the Bible people need saving, not the planet. As if we could. What hubris!

And besides, why should motoring be a guilty thing to do? It’s perfectly legal, a necessity for most Australians, and without a motoring industry the economy would collapse.

It’s time to call a halt to senseless virtuesignalling!

Shed’s home grown 2020

By Natalee Kerr

SPANDEX ROMANCE: Geelong's Chantelle and Benji Fava feature in Potato Shed's 2020 theatre season with their show Memoirs & Mullets.

12436809-NG50-19

Drysdale’s Potato Shed has unveiled its allAustralian 2020 theatre season featuring a mix of “timeless” classics and “modern” additions.

Home-grown theatre takes a starring role in the programme that aims to inspire, challenge and entertain audiences.

The season begins on 14 March when Ray Lawler’s seminal work Summer of the Seventeenth Doll comes to the Shed.

The play portrays Australian life, following the tales of six characters who must come to terms with their changing circumstances.

The next show to hit Drysdale in March is Cosi – a semi-autobiographical play written by Louis Nowra.

Set inside a Melbourne mental institution in 1971, the show fuses humour and sadness as it explores madness, illusion, sanity and life.

In April, a “unique” Australian love story, Memoirs and Mullets, is set to hit the stage.

Geelong’s Chantelle and Benji Fava will don roller-skates and spandex for the romantic tale that weaves iconic music, circus and dance.

Then, in May, Michael Griffith's psychological thriller The Magnolia Tree will arrive to challenge societal views on ageing parents with mental illness.

A comedy follows later that month when Damian Callinan visits the region.

The award-winning writer, comedian and actor will explore a cavalcade of characters within a dysfunctional football club with his

solo show The Merger.

In June, Dan Giovannoni’s original play Slap, Bang, Kiss unravels what it means to go “viral” when three young people become global symbols of revolution.

Also in June, popular TV series Mother and Son will come to life on stage with comedian Julie McGregor staring as Maggie and Christopher Truswell as Arthur.

Coming to Drysdale in July is Damon Smith’s “raw and honest” cabaret show Mental as Everything.

Drawing on Smith’s own experiences living with obsessive-compulsive disorder, the production explores the “multifaceted nature” of mental illness.

Then in August, Peta Murray’s play Wallflowering is set to trace the uncertain steps of an ordinary couple as they attempt to save their marriage.

Callinan is set to return in September for his starring role in Newk – a production exploring the life of great Australian tennis legend John Newcombe.

Caroline Ferguson will then bring a touch of old-school glamour to the region when her one-woman play Dahlin! It’s The Jeanne Little Show heads to the Shed in October.

In November, cabaret, burlesque, magic and film visits Drysdale in the production Lost In Venice that explores the “great divide” between men and women during the 1950s and 60s.

Brian back for Mannix gig

By Justin Flynn Melbourne-born rocker Brian Mannix is headed to Geelong with a Traveling Wilburys tribute titled ‘End of the Line’.

The Traveling Wilburys were a super group made up of Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, and George Harrison, and the locally-made tribute features an impressive ensemble too.

Mannix, Nick Barker, JR Reyne, Scott Darlow and Bernard Curry will hit Geelong Arts Centre on 8 February to tell the story of the super group.

“We’re an eclectic little bunch,” Mannix says.

“Nick Barker is rocking as hell, Scott is a little operatic although I haven’t met him yet, JR Reyne, he’s gorgeous really isn’t he, and Brendan is Stephen Curry’s brother and doing well.”

Mannix has performed in Geelong “stacks of times” and hopes the audience will enjoy “really great music and a really entertaining show”.

The group has had just one rehearsal so far, according to Mannix.

“I know what songs are in the show now so I’ll go away and learn the songs,” he says.

“We have a few weeks to learn the songs by ourselves and then come together and start putting it all together.”

Mannix describes the show as a “half-theatre, half-concert sort of thing”.

“It’s a documentary meets concert and I reckon people will have a good time and learn a little bit and have a bit of a rock on,” he says.

Mannix is keeping busy and still performs with The Uncanny X-Men, which made him

famous in the 1980s.

He has performed on stage, has written three books, written and directed numerous plays, came fifth in Dancing With the Stars and

is currently finishing off an audio book.

So what’s next for Mannix?

“I might do a movie,” he laughs.

“I don’t have enough money to do a good

one, it would be more like ‘oh god you’ve got to see this’.

“Sort of along the lines of Sharknado I reckon.”

Brave Bucs fall short of first-year fairy tale Anglers eye Xmas feast

By Luke Voogt

Geelong Buccaneers’ under 15 team has fallen agonisingly short of a fairy tale premiership in its inaugural season, going down to Croydon Rangers 12-30.

Running back Jordan Wellington led the Buccaneers’ valiant offense scoring both their touchdowns, including the first of the game.

But with a 16-6 score at halftime, the Buccaneers were unable to mount a second half comeback and lost to the more experienced Rangers.

During his first touchdown Wellington received some great blocks to carry the ball 65 yards to the end zone, Buccaneers head coach Daniel Noonan told the Indy.

In his second he broke “six or seven tackles" and ran the ball 50 yards, Noonan said.

“I reckon he made every single one of their players miss. He led the way on the offence.”

He praised Wellington, who he said played through a broken thumb and other injuries in the second half of the season.

Line-backer Christian Barsic also had a standout final game on defense, Noonan said.

The season was the first for Geelong Buccaneers American Football Club’s junior varsity team.

The rookie squad starred all year to finish top of the ladder and make the Vic Bowl championship game.

While disappointed to fall short of a championship, Noonan was proud of his team’s succes.

“This is a group of young men who were playing gridiron for the first time this year,” he said.

“To come up against a team that has played together for three years is tough. It’s a huge achievement just to make it to the Vic Bowl.”

Noonan hoped to retain most of the group

ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos

SO CLOSE: Geelong Buccaneers' under 15 team. for next year and gain some new recruits to become a “powerhouse” club in the league.

The Buccaneers still managed individual honors for 2019 with Jarrah Neilson winning best defensive line player and Christian Barsic winning best rookie and defensive player.

Victoria Gridiron Officials Association voted the Buccaneers best conducted team in the league while Noonan was its top coach for 2019.

Buccaneers president Melissa O’Toole said the club award was “a real testament to the culture of family and respect that we have built”.

“We have a small but dedicated team of volunteers that work extremely hard to put our teams on the field each week.

Seniors players Michael Khair and Kylie West won men’s offensive line MVP and women’s defensive MVP respectively.

Flat-track fail puts Cats on the ropes LOCAL CRICKET Jim Timberlake With one game remaining before the Christmas break, Geelong Cricket Club's season is on the line following its disastrous loss to Northcote last round.

The Cats entered day two with high hopes of winning, after a fantastic fightback the week prior. But on a flat track, the bowlers were unable to defend 273.

While Dom McGlinchey (4/95) put in a huge effort, the rest of the attacked struggled to break through, as Northcote cruised to a resounding five wicket win.

So with just a two day game against bottom-placed Kingston Hawthorn, to be played over the next two Saturdays before the break, the side must win, or lose almost all hope of making the finals.

Geelong Cricket Association's first division also has a two day game scheduled, with the match of the round clearly being North Geelong hosting Lara.

While the Cats are going about their business nicely and are yet to lose a game, North Geelong have really started to put it all together, culminating in an outright win against Bell Post Hill last round.

Captain Tom Mathieson has been in sparkling form, claiming 17 wickets already, while Lachlan Hayes, Shaun Kingwell, Mitch Troy and Alistair McCann have all chipped in to form one of the more potent attacks in the competition.

Add to that Layton McCann, Sam Hall and Damian Vassiliou all making significant runs so far, and it's easy to see why the Magpies are second on the table.

This test comes at just the right time for them, as they will be keen to prove they be22 GEELONG INDY

Selections: EAST BELMONT v Leopold, St Josephs v GROVEDALE, North Geelong v LARA, Newtown & Chilwell v BELL POST HILL, South Barwon v MURGHEBOLUC Division two plays their final round of one day matches for the season tomorrow, with the top two teams in each grade going through to next week's one day finals.

The new concept introduced this season has been met with much positivity and, with an extra cup to play for, all clubs still in the mix

will be eager to get their hands on some early silverware.

Bell Park is assured of playing in the First XI decider next week, but their opponent remains up in the air, as Geelong City and Marshall playing each other this week with the winner to progress.

Geelong City was widely expected to dominate division two this season, but has so far struggled to find any consistent form.

Marshall has proved that last year's premiership was no fluke with some really solid cricket, so this game will be very tight.

Geelong City still look to have the better team on paper, with a bit more depth, and will start very narrow favourites tomorrow.

Selections: St Peters v BELL PARK, Torquay v MODEWARRE, GEELONG CITY v Marshall, HIGHTON v Manifold Heights And in division three, Corio has moved into the top four after a strong win against Geelong West last week.

That position may well be short lived though, as the side plays ladder leader Newcomb & District in a two day game starting tomorrow.

Newcomb & District won an absolute thriller against Alexander Thomson last week, sneaking home by two runs.

While a close call, it might actually have been the best thing for Newcomb, as being pushed in close games always sees sides improve.

Having said that, Corio will view them as beatable, and will throw everything at them to prove it.

Selections: ALEXANDER THOMSON v Lethbridge, Corio v NEWCOMB & DISTRICT, ST ALBANS BREAKWATER v Guild Saints, Waurn Ponds Deakin v GEELONG WEST, BANNOCKBURN v Thomson.

After a week of windy conditions we are finally starting to see some better weather come in and plenty of reports of fish biting around Port Phillip Bay. Starting in close around Geelong's waterfront there has been some great fishing on offer, in particular the Rippleside jetty, with reports of big King George whiting, pinkie snapper, silver trevally and even some black bream.

Most fish are getting caught on bait but it’s also a great spot to cast some soft plastics around.

Owen Westwell snuck out during the week casting soft plastics around the waterfront structure finding himself plenty of pinkie snapper.

What they lacked in size they made up for in terrific numbers, Owen said.

Out from Clifton Springs the pinkies are still on the chew and very willing to eat most soft plastics you throw in front of them.

There are also heaps of pike and flathead in the same area.

Brad Apps got out on the boat over the weekend scoring himself a solid haul of snapper along with some big pike, which make great bait.

Bryce Nurnaitis, Noah Lever and Beau Allen also got out over the weekend with the trio catching some pinkies and big flathead too.

There are also plenty of whiting on the chew in a bit closer off Clifton Springs, and fresh squid or pipis are still your best baits.

Matt and Luka Lon?ari? from Trellys Geelong and Laverton ventured over to Carrum over the weekend in search of snapper and the boys were not disappointed.

The pair managed to get a bag of snapper to 3kg with the standout bait being silver whiting.

Queenscliff is on fire at the moment for calamari, and they are big!

Anglers fishing the area known as The Bight with baited jigs are having no worries in scoring themselves a bag of squid in no time.

The squid are still sitting on their eggs, so if you can find the eggs you will find the squid.

Inside the harbour is still fishing very well for a whole host of species.

David Le went for a flick on the weekend and found himself some large schools of feisty Australian salmon climbing all over his lures.

David also landed some cracking silver trevally on soft plastics to 40cm, which are great fun in the fast-flowing water. There are also plenty of pinkies on the chew in the same area.
