Wheel’s fortune turns By Justin Flynn It’s shaping up to be an awesome summer at Geelong’s waterfront, with plans to have the city’s beloved Ferris wheel spinning again as early as next month. Hi Lite Amusements has submitted a planning application to the City of Greater Geelong to operate the Giant Sky Wheel for another three years. It wants the giant wheel to be operating in time for White Night on October 8. It also wants to extend the operating months from November to April to September to July. In its planning application, Hi Lite Amusements said the wheel has been “a valued tourist attraction” for 12 seasons, and assisted in “creating a fun and lively focus for the waterfront”.

“Throughout our time on the foreshore, we have had around 60,000 to 80,000 people enjoying the experience of the Giant Wheel each season – weather depending,” the planning application stated. “In the past when undertaking postcode surveys, many tourists told us that the Giant Sky Wheel was one of the attractions bringing them to Geelong.” Meanwhile, Geelong’s Eastern Beach will receive a major clean up when volunteers descend on the popular tourist spot to remove rubbish that has plagued the area. A joint initiative between Telstra Business Technology Centre Geelong (TBTCG) and Beach Patrol 3220 and 3030, the clean up will involve local businesses being asked to allow their employees to attend to help tidy up the beach. TBTCG brand, people and culture manager Luciana Manrique said Eastern Beach was chosen because it was easily accessible. “We came up with this simple idea in Wyndham last year and it was an enormous success, so we are bringing it to Geelong this

year,” she said. “It brings together simple messaging around looking after the environment, it brings the community together around a common cause, it is a small platform for education and it is an easy way to contribute towards eliminating single use plastics.

“Around 30 per cent of plastics consumed in Australia are single-use and we found so many at Eastern Beach.” The clean-up event is on Friday, September 16 from 3pm to 5pm on the corner of Eastern Beach Road and Hearne Parade. Beach Patrol 3220 will supply cleaning

bags, gloves, briefing and rubbish removal bags. Beach Patrol 3030 will demonstrate how to collect the litter data and TBTCG will provide sanitised wipes, keep cups and hot coffee from local shops. Register your interest at worldcleanupday.org/event?name=telstra_ business_beach_cleanup_BPW

Protestors target gas terminal By Matt Hewson Community opposition to Viva’s proposed gas terminal in Corio Bay will continue this weekend as members of Extinction Rebellion lead a protest action. The protest group will set up a ’fossil fuel-free crossing’ at the intersection of Princes Highway and Refinery Road, displaying banners and signs on Saturday, September 3 between 1-3pm. Extinction Rebellion spokesperson, Jess,

said governments and industry needed to heed the warnings of the United Nations (UN) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and refrain from investing in new fossil fuel projects. “The UN and the IPCC have sent us a really strong and clear message that not only do we need to stop any new projects, but we actually have to reduce what we’re already doing,” Jess said. “We can’t justify new fossil fuel projects when we’re getting these clear warnings that

this will lead to extinctions, more floods and fires, and more suffering for humans and animals.” Jess said members of the public were more than welcome to come down to the event and express their opposition to the project. “We’ll be having a gathering of people there with banners and signs around the intersection, and we’re going to set up a fossil-free crossing,” she said. “That will be a pedestrian crossing at the traffic lights, and this will be our really clear

message to Viva that we don’t want them to build the proposed gas terminal. We’d love people to come along.” Jess said that while many people perceived gas as a more climate-friendly energy source, that wasn’t the case. “I think sometimes people get confused with gas, because it’s been sold as a clean energy, but again, the UN and the IPCC have been very clear that it’s a fossil fuel and is leading to the same climate destruction as other fossil fuels,” she said.

TAFE, digital skills planning

Co-op ‘thrilled’ at youth hub funding After years of work, consultation and lobbying, Geelong’s Wathaurong Aboriginal Co-operative has finally received funding for the development of its Healing Spirit Youth Hub. The Victorian government announced last week that Wathaurong would receive $1.6 million to build a culturally safe space for children and young people to access clinical, social and emotional wellbeing services and supports. Wathaurong chief executive Simon Flagg said the funding for the project would have a huge positive impact on the local indigenous community. “It’s massively important; I look back when I was growing up, we had all these platforms in place, youth camps and the like,” Mr Flagg said. “It all really strengthened my identity as an Aboriginal person and as a person in general. But as the years have gone on, governments have been less proactive with

this kind of funding. “We’re the largest Aboriginal population in the state, with 7.5 per cent of the Victorian Aboriginal population, and a big part of that is the youth population. “We’re thrilled that, even though it’s long overdue, we can develop a space for our youth to learn their identity and be connected with other mob.” The co-op worked hand in hand with indigenous youth to imagine and design the hub, which Mr Flagg said would be integral to its effectiveness. “This will be their space, that they control and can invite who they need to come in,” he said. “A key aspect of the hub is that the youth helped develop what they wanted the space to be, how it will look and even the design of it. They wanted a one-stop shop for them, so they’ll have a GP as well as social and emotional supports and services. “We’ve also embedded cultural elements,

men and women’s circles, that sort of thing. It’ll be where we do all our youth activities so they can strengthen their identities in their place, where they lead and control how it works and the values of the space.” Mr Flagg thanked everyone at Wathaurong and in the youth and broader community who had contributed to the project so far. “This has been a vision of years, not just a recent thing, wanting to create this space,” he said. “There have been so many people involved in it and we’re really excited we get to create a vision that the community’s had for years. “The slogan we’ve got is ‘Strong community, strong culture, strong country’, they’re the three principles we’re really looking at and focusing on. “If you get all three you’ve got a really strong Aboriginal community, and this hub is one of those steps toward ensuring we’ve got that.”

The Victorian government announced its new annual Victorian Skills Plan last Thursday to coincide with the end of Skills Week, which projects the Barwon region will require 18,300 new workers by 2025. The new plan was provided by the Victorian Skills Authority (VSA), which was established in 2021 on the recommendation of 2020’s Macklin Review. The plan identifies the importance of employment growth in regional Victoria, and notes that the health and community services industry is anticipated to show the largest growth in demand for workers over the next three to four years, closely followed by education and training and the service sector. The Skills Plan also recognises TAFE as the “core of the vocational education sector”, which is ideally placed to “take a lead role in developing accredited responses to new skill requirements”, and the need for improved digital skills in all sectors. The plan also outlines the VSA’s intention to act as a central node that will bring together industry, education providers and other stakeholders to achieve “collective impact and collaboration”. VSA chief executive Craig Robertson said the plan gives Victoria a clear path forward through the coming period of economic recovery following devastation wreaked by COVID-19. “The Skills Plan provides comprehensive, robust data and analysis – tested with industry and other stakeholders – to inform the targeting of funding and training activity for vocational education to meet industry and community needs,” Mr Robertson said.

Deakin Uni is tops for 13th year Students have once again rated Deakin as the best Victorian university for overall student experience. Deakin’s position at the top was confirmed in the recent release of the 2021 Student Experience Survey results for undergraduate students. The result stretches Deakin’s run as the top Victorian university to 13 consecutive years. In 2021, 76.5 per cent of Deakin students rated their overall experience as ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ in the annual survey, which is part of

the Federal Department of Education’s Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT). The result was the highest among Victorian universities and increased on Deakin’s 2020 result of 72.9 per cent. According to university students, Deakin rated strongly across several components of the survey, with satisfaction with Learning Resources of 85.6 per cent (1st in Victoria), satisfaction with Teaching Quality of 82 per cent (1st), satisfaction with Skills Development

of 80.5 per cent (1st) and satisfaction with Student Support of 77.2 per cent (1st). Vice-Chancellor Professor Iain Martin said Deakin students and staff had shown remarkable resilience and determination over an incredibly tough two years. “The hard work and dedication of our students and staff are why Deakin’s quality educational experience continues to be recognised,” Professor Martin said. “These are remarkable results in the

circumstances. I congratulate our students and staff for their dedication and success and my appreciation for their trust in Deakin.” “It is particularly pleasing to see the increase in student satisfaction with teaching quality and learning resources in 2021, as we apply the insights from our early pandemic response,” Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) Professor Liz Johnson said. “The results are a testament to the hard work and innovation of our teaching teams and our partnerships with students.”

Tails wag as $43.5m project begins A 32,000 square metre Petspiration Group facility will be built at Avalon Airport. The $43.5 million regional office and training hub, distribution centre and on-site dog daycare is expected to be open in 2024. Industry Support and Recovery Minister Ben Carrol turned the first sod with David Fox from Avalon Airport and Shane Young from the Petspiration Group at the Avalon Airport Industrial Precinct this week. The facility will be predominantly utilised as a distribution centre and create up to 190 new jobs in the region.

“Avalon Airport is more than just an airport,” Mr Fox said. “We welcome the new partnership and launch of the Petspiration Group’s new Distribution Centre within Avalon Airport’s Industrial Precinct. “Avalon Airport’s Industrial Precinct covers approximately 1712 hectares, with ‘shovel ready’ parcels currently available to a diverse range of opportunities.” Mr Young said the facility will facilitate PETstock’s vision in supporting regional businesses with the creation of up to 190 new jobs, increasing the warehouse footprint

from 12,000 square metres to 32,000 square metres. “As a born and bred, regionally based business, it’s exciting to be able to move our warehouse to the Avalon Airport Industrial Precinct, creating a key supply chain hub that’s closer to other successful and like-minded regional businesses,” he said. The development adds to other recent investments in the Avalon Airport Industrial Precinct, following in the steps of Cotton On and Hanwha Defense Australia setting up in the precinct.

Surf Coast Shire Council will pursue government funding to develop a master plan to deliver an integrated community and health precinct in Anglesea. Council will seek funding from the state government Investment Fast Track Fund to create a plan for the McMillan Street Precinct to ensure the Anglesea community has access to the critical places, spaces and services it needs. Mayor Libby Stapleton said the funding would help accelerate the process of developing a sustainable community and health precinct that would service the Anglesea community now and into the future. “The McMillan Street Precinct is vitally important for the Anglesea community,” Cr Stapleton said. “It is home to multiple community groups and agencies including the kindergarten, senior citizens club, youth space, community house, memorial hall, Angair, historical society, community garden, medical centre and Barwon Health’s Anglesea Community Health Centre.” Recent audits have demonstrated that some infrastructure is duplicated and disconnected and some buildings are approaching the end of their useful life. “We are still very much in the early planning stages but this funding would provide the key financial support necessary to reimagine what the precinct could be to support the Anglesea community for decades to come,” Cr Stapleton said. The total project cost of the development of the McMillan Street Anglesea Precinct Plan is $250,000. Council will apply for $200,000 from the Investment Fast Track Fund and will contribute $50,000 if its application is successful.

Barwon Water and four local councils are joining forces to transform organic waste into high value products for agriculture and at the same time generate renewable energy. Barwon Water has signed Waste Supply Agreements with the Borough of Queenscliffe, City of Greater Geelong, Golden Plains Shire and Surf Coast Shire to take organic waste from kerbside collection and process it at the Regional Renewable Organics Network (RON) when it is built at its Black Rock Water Reclamation Plant in Connewarre. The project has received support from the Victorian government with funding for the business case and leverages Barwon Water’s expertise and infrastructure as a manager of organic waste from wastewater, including biosolids. The project will create jobs and keep

downward pressure on Barwon Water and the participating councils’ costs, saving money for customers and ratepayers in the region. Barwon Water chair Jo Plummer said the Regional RON would deliver significant environmental, economic and community benefits for the region. “The Regional RON is a key part of our response to the challenges of climate change and population growth. It has been enabled by new technology and a commitment to playing a leading role in the circular economy,” she said. “The project will convert 40,000 tonnes of organic waste each year into 8000 tonnes of high-value soil enhancers, including biochar, to support local agriculture.” The project proposes the organics processing facility to be operational by mid-2025.

Discussions around January 26 The City of Greater Geelong has committed to engage in extensive consultation with the community on the future directions of January 26, which is currently celebrated as Australia Day. Mayor Peter Murrihy said the key objectives of the consultation are to acknowledge and gain in depth understanding of the experiences and opinions of First Nations Peoples and those of the wider community. “For some people in our community, the 26th of January is a day to celebrate, while for many First Nations People it represents a day of mourning, sorrow and survival,” he said.

“We don’t want to shy away from difficult conversations. This is about listening, showing mutual respect, and gaining greater understanding.” Initially, two separate forums for First Nations People will be held, each moderated by local First Nations broadcaster Troy Benjamin (Wadi Wadi, Tati Tati, Mutti Mutti and Wamba Wamba/ Wemba Wemba) from 3KND. They will be followed by broader engagement with all feedback used to help guide the city’s future approach to January 26. The Australian government has gazetted January 26 as national holiday since 1994, and

the engagement by the City of Greater Geelong Council does not propose to change the date, it said. Kilangitj Aboriginal Advisory Committee member Kaley Nicholson is among the growing number of community members eager to have their voices heard. Kaley, a Barapa Barapa, Mutti Mutti, Yorta Yorta, Boonwurrung, and Taungurung woman, is a policy strategist and co-founder and director of Yilam Pty Ltd, a 100 per cent Aboriginal-owned and female-led start up that centres Aboriginal philosophies of caring for and connecting to Country in the

camping industry. “I’m excited to be part of the conversation and contribute my opinions to such an important issue,” she said. “As a community we have the opportunity to share our thoughts, experiences and opinions; and it’s my hope that everyone across Greater Geelong gets involved.” Forum one will be held at Corio Library on Cox Road from 11am to 2pm on Friday, September 9 and forum two will be held at the Gordon Gallery on Fenwick Street from 11am to 2pm on Friday, September 14. Online surveys can be completed on council’s Have Your Say page.

Cash boost for libraries Geelong Regional Library Corporation will receive nearly $2.4 million as part of the state government’s Public Libraries Funding Program. Geelong Regional Library Corporation libraries will receive $2.374 million with $261,327 going to Surf Coast Shire libraries, $80,579 for Queenscliff, $1,613,050 for City of Greater Geelong, $210,000 for Golden Plains Shire and $209,203 for Colac Otway Shire. The Public Libraries Funding Program provides annual funding for public libraries across Victoria so that they can provide valuable library services. This funding will expand library collections, boost online services and provide library and outreach programs. The Public Libraries Funding Program has been allocated $48.1 million in funding for the 2022-2023 financial year. Local libraries are much-loved community facilities in Victoria. Across the state, more

than two million library members borrow more than 31 million items from libraries every year. “We’re supporting learning and education, and this funding will ensure that libraries can continue to provide accessible and engaging resources to communities across Victoria through the Public Library Funding Program,” Local Government Minister Melissa Horne said. “It’s great to see the government continuing to support local libraries to deliver high-quality resources for our community through the Public Libraries Funding Program,” South Barwon MP Darren Cheeseman said. “As our community grows, so do their needs. This funding will provide the Geelong and Surf Coast communities to have improved access to digital technology and resources, literacy support services, traditional collections, event spaces and workstations.”

Interesting fact: Greater Geelong is home to the largest First Nations community in Victoria. Wadawurrung Traditional Owners have been caring for Djilang (the Wadawurrung name for Geelong) for such a long time and their culture and history in this region runs deep. Council is committed to facilitating stronger awareness and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and histories as part of our Reconciliation Action Plan and other strategies. We have a long and respectful partnership with the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners and other First Nations communities. For example, Wadawurrung Traditional Owners have been integral co-design partners in the design of Wurriki Nyal (meaning ‘to speak and talk together’), our new Civic Precinct on Mercer Street. The building showcases our proud First Nations heritage following extensive consultation through multiple art installations including a five storey piece from Wadawurrung artist Kait Jame, the Gayoonpanyoon Goopma yarning circle and other cultural features. One of the most striking features is a culturally significant scarred tree in the

We thank Wadawurrung Traditional Owners for sharing this precious part of their history with the people of Geelong. Incorporating First Nations culture into our buildings continues with council approving First Nations names for two more facilities at our August meeting, with permission from Traditional Owners. The Boronggook Drysdale Library reflects the Wadawarrung name for the immediate Drysdale locality and refers to turf. The other facility whose name was unanimously voted for was the Poa Banyul Mount Duneed Community Hub. Pronounced ‘Poah-Banyool’, Poa Banyal translates to ‘Grassy Hill’ and is the third of the City’s new child and family centres to use the local Wadawurrung language in their name. We have a lot to learn about the region’s history and Wadawurrung culture that thrives to this day. If integrating Wadawurrung language and culture into our buildings and facilities can help that process in even a small way, then it is a positive thing for the whole community.

Following the suspension of in-person circuit sittings, the County Court of Victoria implemented a new process for regional matters. Under the process, all pleas and appeals against sentences are provided with a fixed listing date upon committal or appeal lodgement. “The majority of these matters were conducted virtually using video conferencing software, with appearances in court permitted under limited circumstances,” a court spokesperson said. “This has reduced the delay for these types of matters.”

Old scarred tree finds new home A culturally significant, but deteriorating, scarred tree has been conserved and moved to Wurriki Nyal to stand at the heart of Greater Geelong’s new Civic Precinct. The tree was moved at the request of Wadawurrung Traditional Owners and is believed to predate European settlement of the Geelong region. The restored scarred tree is the centrepiece of Wurriki Nyal’s outdoor community space, beside a traditional gathering or yarning circle named ‘Gayoonpanyoon Goopma’, which means ‘gather’ in Wadawurrung language. Scarred trees are named for the long scars in their trunks left behind from when First

Nations people have traditionally removed bark for a variety of purposes, including canoe making. The relocation and preservation of the scarred tree has formed part of the city’s ongoing co-design partnership with Wadawurrung Traditional Owners in the design of Wurriki Nyal. Following detailed consultation, the city engaged a specialist arborist to assess the tree, which was deemed at high risk of further degradation and collapse in its previous environment. In collaboration with Wadawurrung Traditional Owners, its new home in Wurriki

Nyal was agreed. Careful removal, preservation and relocation works were undertaken over a six-month period. “Wadawurrung value the City of Greater Geelong’s support to see the scarred tree preserved for future generations,” Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation chief executive Paul Davis said. “This is an old soul that Wadawurrung Elders wanted to save while still standing. The current process of conserving scarred trees is taking place across many Traditional lands. “This old Biyal (red gum) will now stand in the Wurriki Nyal Civic Precinct – a place where it is protected and can be safely viewed by all.”

Event celebrates women working in construction

With Geelong’s construction industry booming, last year a group of women came together to form the NAWIC Regional Committee. NAWIC (National Association for Women in Construction) is all about encouraging women to achieve the goal of educating themselves and then working in the construction sector. The regional committee exists of seven women with diverse construction roles: • Sinead Redmond – project manager HK Solutions • Lisa Cunningham – furniture specialist with K5 Furniture • Velina Genova – project manager Deakin University • Imogen Lyons – associate WT Quantity Surveyors • Bernadette Purton – yraining and development manager Nicholson Construction

• Mariska Cornelius – social impact lead at Built Construction • Rita Koritsas – Jacaranda Industries sales and marketing manager Over the past year the committee has organised speaker events, site tours and networking evenings. It has also worked closely with Deakin University and the students coming through the various construction sectors, including project managers, quantity surveyors, civil and building engineers, architects and construction managers. To celebrate the one-year anniversary, the committee has organised a cocktail event to recognise and celebrate the NAWIC regional construction sector, which extends to Ballarat. “Since establishing the Regional Committee in 2021, we’ve held a number of regional events, enabling participants to grow their network,

exchange ideas and learn more about the fantastic industry we work in,” NAWIC chapter president Katherine Brewis said. “We’ve even inspired some students to investigate a career in construction. “Our first Celebrating Regional event is an opportunity for us to acknowledge the support we have received from regional companies, projects, and workers in the last year, as well as providing a further opportunity to celebrate the opportunities currently on offer in regional Victoria. We’re looking forward to the evening, and meeting many more industry participants.” The event is on Friday, September 16 at Furphy Hall (Little Creatures) at 6.30pm.

Bellarine Railway funding boost Bellarine Railway will receive more than $35,000 in state government funding to support vegetation and pest management along the rail corridor. The railway is one of 16 tourist and heritage rail operators and museums to share in $620,000 government grants. Bellarine Railway will receive $35,771 to manage vegetation along its route, which spans 16 kilometres from Queenscliff to Drysdale. “The volunteers at the Bellarine Railway work tirelessly to offer visitors to the area a unique tourist attraction that brings thousands of people a year to the area,”

This funding will help them carry out their essential work to manage vegetation - Lisa Neville

Bellarine MP Lisa Neville said. “This funding will help them carry out their essential work to manage vegetation, which is particularly important as we approach the warmer summer months.” Groups receiving the funding were assessed by VicTrack and the Department of

Transport. In their applications, groups had to demonstrate that they would use the funding for projects including repairing, restoring, or refurbishing state owned rail assets; improving access to assets; delivering approved projects on buildings or rolling stock; and works in the rail corridor such as weed control or vegetation management. The state government is implementing Preserving our rail history – a blueprint for the future – a strategy to help secure the future of the tourist and heritage rail sector. Through this, tourist and heritage rail groups are being supported with matters

Borrowing living books Students at Matthew Flinders Girls Secondary College (MFG) celebrated Book Week with the unusual experience of borrowing a person from their school library. “Adapting a social cohesion concept from Denmark, the MFG Living Library provides students with an opportunity to borrow a person from our school or wider community who has a story to share,” explained teacher-librarian Nicolle Brigden. “The living ‘books’ share their experiences through a conversation with small groups of students during their visit.” This year’s ‘books’ at MFG’s first Living Library included artists, writers, global adventurers, the MFG principal, a mountaineer, a professional firefighter and a volunteer with the Geelong-based Offspring Foundation, which supports girls and women liberated from sex trafficking in Kolkata, India.

“It was so interesting to hear from people that I wouldn’t ordinarily meet,” commented year 8 student Emily. “I also heard about my teacher’s life away from school.” “I loved meeting a professional firefighter who’s female,” said Anouk from year 10.

Up to $2.2 million of funding and grants is being provided to the sector to support the implementation of the blueprint. As part of this, last year tourist and heritage rail operators received $1 million to help them re-establish their operations and cover costs after they were unable to run their services during COVID-19 restrictions. The funding this year was offered to the 16 tourist and heritage rail and tram operators, and more widely to rail museums.

NEWS GEELONGINDY.COM.AU

Litter trackers to monitor river Waterway health in the Barwon River will be monitored through an innovative citizen science project tracking litter waste before it travels out to the bay. Water Minister Harriet Shing joined the Aquatic Environmental Stress Research Group scientists to launch GPS-enabled litter trackers into the Barwon River to simulate litter thrown in the catchments. The state government invested $29,790 towards the Litter Trackers Project as part of the Coastcare grants program. The project

was led by researchers from RMIT University who will work with school and community groups to release and track litter items fitted to GPS devices in Geelong, Bellarine and Surf Coast waterways. Litter, specifically plastic, can be found in every environment on earth including some of Geelong’s significant waterways such as the Barwon River and the internationally Ramsar-listed Lake Connewarre. The project aims to reduce litter ending up on the coast by educating local communities

about the environmental cost of litter in our waterways. The project raises awareness about the issue of litter and empowers individuals with knowledge to make more sustainable decisions to drive change. Geelong schools involved in the initiative include Geelong High School and Northern Bay College, St Joseph’s Flexible Learning Centre, St Terese Catholic Primary School and North Geelong Secondary College.

The Litter Trackers project: ‘Burbs to the Bay’, is a collaborative citizen science project between RMIT University, Corangamite Catchment Management Authority and Bellarine Catchment Network. “Litter dropped on our streets is washed into stormwater systems where “it eventually ends up in on our beaches, but this project will gather important information to help tackle the problem and protect our waterways,” Ms Shing said.

Heading towards zero A three-way partnership that aims to use 100 per cent renewable electricity and produce net zero emissions has secured a power purchase agreement (PPA) with a local wind farm. The Barwon Renewable Energy Partnership (B-REP) of Barwon Water, Barwon Health and GeelongPort recently entered a PPA with the Mount Gellibrand wind farm near Birregurra for the provision of 68 gigawatt hours a year of renewable electricity. ACCIONA Energia’s Mount Gellibrand Wind Farm has been operating since 2018 and has 44 turbines, each with a capacity of 3 megawatts. The 10-year agreement will see the renewable electricity produced at the farm and sent to the grid allocated to the three organisations, offsetting the energy used at their facilities. Barwon Water managing director Tracey Slatter said that previously, more than 80 per cent of Barwon Water’s emissions came from the use of electricity sourced from the grid. “The turbines at Mount Gellibrand

Wind Farm will deliver Barwon Water 45 gigawatt-hours a year of renewable electricity – more than 100 per cent of our total electricity needs in an ‘average year’,” she said. GeelongPort chief executive Brett Winter said investing in clean energy opportunities was essential for tackling climate change and GeelongPort was excited to be partnering with leading organisations such as Barwon Water and Barwon Health to support the development of renewable energy facilities in our region. “This PPA and the use of 100 per cent renewable electricity is a key component of our emissions reduction strategy and reduces our reliance on carbon offsets whilst maintaining our carbon neutral status,” he said. Barwon Health chief executive Frances Diver said: “The agreement will provide Barwon Health with 15 gigawatt hours of clean electricity annually for the next decade, reducing our total greenhouse gas emissions by around 70 per cent or 14,700 tonnes per year”.

Pontoon work done by summer Works to replace the pontoon and repair the boat ramp in Ocean Grove will be completed before the holiday season. Works will begin in October and be completed in November and include repairs to improve its functionality and provide greater protection against future weather events in part thanks to stronger, more robust piles. The ageing pontoon has been impacted by weather events and ageing.

The boat ramp repair work will provide better boating access to the lower reaches of the Barwon River as well as a host of fishing opportunities offshore. Ocean Grove Coast Watch also relies on the ramp and pontoons to undertake its marine search and rescue operations. “Ocean Grove is a popular holiday boating destination for families right across the state – so these works will provide a huge benefit by making it easier to get out on the water,”

Bellarine MP Lisa Neville said. “The repairs to the boat ramp and replacement of the pontoon will also mean a more functional facility for boaters that’s designed to provide better protection against weather events including summer storms.” Better Boating Victoria provided funding in 2021 to the City of Greater Geelong (CoGG) to progress designs to replace the southern pontoon. In June 2022, CoGG also received a grant for

a further $120,000 for repair work on the boat ramp’s northern pontoon through the Labor government’s Better Boating Fund Structural Maintenance Grants Program. CoGG has appointed Elstone Diving Services to complete the works, with construction scheduled to begin in October and finish in November ahead of families flocking to the area for the busy summer holiday period. The works will be staged so the temporary pontoons currently in place remain available.

New lights for two clubs Two more Geelong recreation reserves have been fitted out with new floodlighting systems. Corio Bay Sports Club’s Evans Reserve in Norlane and North Geelong Football Netball Club’s Osborne Park received the new lighting systems thanks to a $2.5 million injection from the Victorian government’s Community Sports Infrastructure Stimulus Program. Greater Geelong mayor Peter Murrihy welcomed the addition of the high-quality LED lighting at both reserves. “This announcement is welcome news for Corio Bay Sports Club as the addition of high-quality lighting will facilitate training at night in a safe environment,” Cr Murrihy said. “Formed in 1876, North Geelong is one of our region’s oldest clubs and has a long and proud history of catering for footballers, both men and, more recently women, throughout the northern suburbs.” Other reserves to have the lighting system upgraded are St Albans Recreation Reserve in Thomson, St Leonards Lake Reserve, Grinter

Reserve in Newcomb, Winter Rserve in Belmont and Burdoo Reserve in Grovedale. Cr Eddy Kontelj, Brownbill Ward, agreed the new lighting would allow North Geelong to expand the availability of its playing and training facilities, which in turn would lead to increased inclusion and added participation. “The improved lighting will now extend the hours in which the club can run activities, and this is bound to further promote social cohesion as it offers increased opportunities for people to meet, form relationships and become connected,” he said. Windermere Ward councillor Kylie Grzybek said the new floodlighting would allow Corio Bay Sports Club to extend its playing and training times, giving it the capacity to build higher levels of participation. “The lighting will cater for the dramatic rise in female participation in the sport, while also assist the club in building its depth throughout the men’s teams,” she said.

Seniors rental community: safety and connectivity Choosing to make the move into an independent seniors’ community can be an exciting but tentative experience.

And at the heart of each Ingenia Gardens is the community room which hosts regular activities and events throughout the year. Ingenia Gardens Portfolio Manager Madonna Jackson said “Having access to an on-site Community Manager and living in a gated community with level, covered walkways connecting them to communal facilities are just some of the many ways residents feel safe and secure. “Residents can enrich their life by relaxing, having a chat and enjoying a cuppa with friends, watching a movie, reading a book, enjoy lunch with friends or participate in the ACTIVATE program,” Ms Jackson said.

The monthly program consists of activities, themed meals, performances, bus trips and guest speakers.

Everyone’s talking about Jibber Jabber Allied Health Originally starting out as a sole trader, speech pathologist Jane Amparis wanted to get back into the workforce after welcoming kids with her husband Jean-Paul. Unexpectedly, this venture quickly gained traction, leading to the creation of Jibber Jabber Allied Health in April 2018. Jane is now director, senior speech pathologist and co-owner of Jibber Jabber, along with her husband, general manager and co-owner, Jean-Paul. This power couple have had a significant impact on both allied health clients and the community, with over 15 employees and offices in Corio and Lara. “The motivation was to be able to put back into the community, particularly towards children with special needs, who are often the ones where early intervention is extremely important,” says Jean-Paul. Staff at Jibber Jabber are valued immensely, and Jean-Paul and Jane strive to make sure they know just how important they are. “We have a strong focus on workplace culture and making sure that our staff are really healthy from a mental and physical health perspective,” Jean-Paul explained. Jibber Jabber is not immune to the staff shortages affecting the industry, however the team maintains a quality over quantity approach. This leads to a high level of satisfaction among employees and clients at Jibber Jabber. Several Jibber Jabber employees welcome university students to the clinic to undergo student training and work experience. This benefits both the students and allied health professionals that work together, as well as clients requiring assistance and services. “It’s giving back to the community in that we’re getting more people out there to do this valuable work. Our industry is full of shortages, we don’t have staff to choose from,” Jean-Paul

explained. Vindication from clients and the community has come in various forms, one being nominated by clients and becoming a finalist in the Geelong Business Excellence Awards for two years running. “We never expected when we opened the business that we’d be nominated for an award, let alone be a finalist for an award. I’m really

hopeful. Obviously every business wants to win an award, but I want my team to win an award – they just work so hard and they care so much. It’s their passion and I feel like they need to be rewarded for it,” Jean-Paul said. Thanks to major sponsor LBW Business + Wealth advisors, the 2022 Geelong Business Excellence Awards celebrate clever, creative and connected businesses in Geelong and the

Bellarine, as well as the Surf Coast, Queenscliff and Golden Plains regions. The Geelong Business Excellence Awards presentation event will take place at GMHBA Stadium on Thursday October 27 at 6pm. Tickets to the awards night are available now at www.gbea.com.au.

Exercise your pelvic floor They’re easy, free and completely discreet, yet most women of all ages neglect the most effective method of preventing, treating, managing and even curing incontinence. According to a survey of more than 15,000 Australian women, less than two out of 10 (17.6 per cebt) do their pelvic floor exercises daily, despite incontinence affecting one in three women who have ever had a baby. In the lead up to Women’s Health Week from Monday, September 5 to Sunday, September 11, the Continence Foundation of Australia wants to remind women of all ages there is much they can do to reduce their risk of incontinence. “Incontinence is preventable and treatable in the majority of cases,” says the chief executive of the Continence Foundation of Australia, Rowan Cockerell. “The key to preventing or better managing incontinence comes down to protecting and strengthening the pelvic floor and adopting a

few healthy lifestyle habits,” she said. Apart from pregnancy and childbirth, there are several risk factors for developing incontinence. These include age, being overweight, smoking, menopause, conditions such as diabetes and following bladder and/or pelvic injury and surgery. Mrs Cockerell, said pelvic floor exercises can be done anywhere, any time. Information on how to do pelvic floor exercises correctly can be found on the Pelvic Floor First website at pelvicfloorfirst.org.au. “We have a national continence help line staffed by nurse continence specialists, as well as specific sections on our website with simple instructions on how to perform pelvic floor exercises, and links to resources designed with younger women in mind.” Visit continence.org.au for information, including videos, on how to do pelvic floor exercises, as well options for further help and treatment.

Different, but definitely not less A diagnosis of autism and ADHD has not stopped Geelong’s Chloe Hayden pursuing her acting and writing dreams. She has just been named as one of Victoria’s emerging leaders as she explained to Matt Hewson.

ot many people can lay claim to the kinds of achievements Geelong local Chloe Hayden has realised in her 25

years. Award-winning actor, author, advocate, motivational speaker and influencer, Chloe, who was diagnosed at 13 with autism and ADHD, has also just received the 2022 Victorian Disability Emerging Leader award. “It was such an honour to receive it, it was incredible,” Chloe said. “When I found out I was a finalist for the award I saw the list of other finalists and all their achievements. To even be in the same category as those people was pretty surreal. “And then watching the awards, I didn’t really even think about winning, it was just really nice to be a finalist. Then when they said my name I was just blown away, it was really cool.” Her creative pursuits aside, Chloe won the award for her advocacy work campaigning, among other things, against shock therapy in the United States – advocacy that got worldwide coverage and caught the attention of celebrities such as Jimmy Kimmel and Jack Black.

‘‘

My entire life has been about advocating and trying to create a more inclusive world for disabled people - Chloe Hayden and everyone

’’

Chloe said that her experiences as a young person diagnosed with autism led naturally to standing up for others. “When I got diagnosed I did what any 13-year-old does, I Googled it,” she said. “And the only things I found were these awful, terrifying articles written by doctors blaming parents for having autistic kids. ‘Here’s how it’s caused, you were probably drinking through your pregnancy’, stuff like that. “And then posts on forums written by parents asking how to make their kids not autistic, or saying their lives were ruined because of it.” To see her condition referred to only in negative, and often pejorative, terms made Chloe feel worse, not better, about herself. “When you’re 13 and have gone through your entire life feeling like you don’t belong anywhere, and then you find a word for your brain that’s only associated with awful, scary, terrifying things, it made me think, what’s my point in being here?” she said. “So I started a blog that was just me screaming out to the universe. I wasn’t doing it to be inspirational, I was just begging to find other people like me. “And I did, and found all those other people had been through the same things and we didn’t have anyone speaking positively about us. “By the time I was 16 I realised that if no one else was going to do it, maybe it was my job. And now I’ve got a book and I’m in a Netflix series and it’s all just taken off more than I ever imagined.” Chloe is co-starring in this year’s reboot of ‘Heartbreak High’, the seminal ‘90s youth drama set in a multicultural Sydney high school, where she plays Quinni, who is also autistic. “I’m very excited, the process was amazing and the whole cast was so lovely,” Chloe said. “I was cast before the show had finished being written, which was a really lovely, quite rare and unique experience, because I got to help flesh out my character and dig into her story and who she was. “It was an awesome thing, to work with the 22 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 2 September, 2022

creators and the writing team to say, this is who she is and this is who she needs to be, and have them go ‘awesome’ and have that as part of her story.” The experience of not only seeing herself represented in contemporary media, but also being able to help shape that representation, was something Chloe will never forget. “There was one time when the creator of the show, Hannah Chapman, sent me a bit of a script and asked me to read it and tell her what I thought of it,” she said. “It literally felt like it was pulled from my diary. Like, word for word. I thought, that exact situation has happened to me. “I just sat there bawling, because I was like, this is my life. It’s in media now. I grew up

never seeing myself represented, so knowing that young, disabled, autistic, neurodivergent people can see themselves represented in a show by an awesome, cool character and think, she’s okay with who she is, so I can be too.” Chloe was also writing her first book, ‘Different, Not Less’, as she filmed the upcoming series, which was released this week. Chloe said the book is a culmination on paper of all the work she’s done in her life so far. “I was a blogger for a long time before this book, and I guess my entire life has been about advocating and trying to create a more inclusive world for disabled people and

everyone,” she said. “This book is pretty much that. It’s the past eight years of advocacy, of fighting and educating, all in one book. It’s there in the subtitle, ‘A neurodivergent’s guide to embracing your true self and finding your happily ever after’.” Chloe said she could never have imagined, back in the dark days of bullying and isolation before her diagnosis, that she would be living such an amazing and impactful life. “Even now I’m convinced that it’s all a dream,” she said. “I’m so convinced I’m going to wake up and be like, whoa, that was crazy. None of this feels real. “If you were to write a movie about this, I’d be like, okay, that’s a bit dramatic. It’s crazy.”

ENTERTAINMENT

Audiences will be razzle-dazzled By Matt Hewson Variety extravaganza ‘Shake Rattle ‘n’ Roll’ is not just your usual rock ‘n’ roll show, according to producer and director Adam Dion. “When you hear it’s a rock ‘n’ roll show you think of 50s and 60s music, and it does have that, but we’ve rejigged everything,” Dion said. “It’s an eye-candy variety show, with lots of dazzling costumes – there’s over 300 costumes in the production. We’ve got 10 sizzling dancers on stage, all championship ballroom dancers, some of whom are from ‘Dancing With the Stars’. “It’s a dynamic production, there’s a lot of energy on stage and the scenes change from one to another spontaneously. A lot of thought’s gone into it.” Dion, who has a long and storied international career in production including stints with the Great Moscow Circus, said the show had been received enthusiastically since it re-launched in August this year. “After the pandemic we didn’t know how it was going to be received; will we have people coming out to see the show, are they scared to be out and about,” he said. “But people are very willing to go out and have a good time, so that’s encouraged us to take it further. So we’re going to New Zealand now, off to Queensland, Townsville, Perth, Adelaide later on. “There’s a lot planned for it, we’re also thinking of taking it overseas, so there’s a lot going on at the moment.” This year’s relaunch coincides with the 30th anniversary of the show, which Dion and partner Nina Randall created in the 90s and has run off-and-on through the intervening years. Their production company, Dion and

Randall International, was focused overseas until the onset of COVID-19, which effectively put an end to their international work. “We were doing a lot in South Africa, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, but when COVID kicked in, well, that was the end of it all,” Dion said. “We thought, what do we do now? We couldn’t go and do these big multi-million dollar shows anymore, so we said alright, perfect timing. It’s the 30 year anniversary, let’s launch it, get a feel for the market and see if

there’s a demand for it. “And we found that yes, there is, people are loving the show. All the performances in Tassie sold out, so we’ll take it further at the beginning of next year.” Dion said the faith he had in his cast and crew was instrumental in taking ‘Shake Rattle ‘n’ Roll’ on the road again. “In the beginning it was a bit challenging; being out of work for two and a half years, you’re going to lose a bit of flair,” he said. “But when you get the right crew behind

you they make your job easier. We were lucky enough to get good production personnel, lighting designers, sound designers. “And the cast are lovely to work with, all of them are level-headed performers, no big egos. And they’ve been with us for a while as well, some since the original show, so they believe in it. And when you’ve got people who have passion for and believe in the product, everything falls into place.” ‘Shake Rattle ‘n’ Roll’ will be performed at Costa Hall on Saturday, September 10 at 8pm.

ENVIRONMENT

Library talk about the beauty of Bellarine birds

Carole O’Neill, who is the past president of Bellarine Birdlife, will talk at the Ocean Grove Library on September 29 at 5pm with the aim of widening the knowledge of Bellarine birds. Carole also informed me that she walked around Blue Waters Lake when the weather was wet and cold and searched for a tawny frogmouth that another ‘birder’ had spotted, to no avail. Tawnies are so good at blending into the environment, sometimes it’s just pure luck when you spot them. Alan has also been walking around Blue Waters Lake and managed to see and photograph a tawny, so hopefully he bumped into Carole and was able to point her in the right direction. I received an email from Denis Sleep, who is an ex-Ocean Grove resident who now lives in central Victoria. He sent some photos of a parrot called a blue bonnet that he photographed around the Mallee region. This beautiful parrot is medium sized, with a blue forehead and face, and grey to brown upper body and neck, and red on the belly. Blue bonnets live in arid and semi-arid areas where there are low shrubs, trees or open woodland areas to feed and shelter on. I received an email from Kevin, who ventured to Rice Reserve, where he heard many birds calling but he found it was difficult to see many of them.

Main: Denis’ blue bonnets in the Mallee region. Above: Kevin’s white-plumed honeyeater at Rice Reserve; Alan’s black swans at Blue Waters Lake. (Pictures: Supplied)

He managed to see some willie wagtails, eastern rosellas, yellow-rumped thornbills, red-browed finches, white-plumed honeyeaters and one fan-tailed cuckoo. I received an email from Glenys, who has been noticing a male flame robin when walking down the hill at the Leopold Lookout, at the end of Ash Road.

Glenys has been walking towards Lake Connewarre early in the morning and has seen the flame robin a few times about halfway down the track, along with other tiny birds in the area. Male flame robins have a bright orange breast and throat, and white plumage on the lower belly and undertail. The top of their head and back is dark grey

and there is a white stripe on the wing. The female is quite different from the male, being mostly brown with a pale wing stripe, and a white outer tail feather. Flame robins are altitudinal migrants that spend winter in lowland coastal areas, and when spring arrives they return to mountainous forests to breed. I haven’t seen many flame robins around this winter, so it was great to hear about Glenys’s observation. On one walk around Blue Waters Lake, Alan noted three pairs of rainbow lorikeets active in nesting holes, all in willow trees in different parts of the lake. Seeing the rainbow lorikeets in this location made Alan recall that several months ago by the same tree there was a fledgling lorikeet hanging on to the reeds for dear life. Alan suspects that the fledgling must have launched itself from the nesting hole and luckily didn’t hit the water, and suspects that this is the same breeding pair of lorikeets returning to the same nesting hole. Also at Blue Waters Lake there has been a black swan family parading four cygnets. The swans were observed diving for grasses/reeds and flicking them to the young ones. They came in quite close to the shore around the big willow near the information board on the north side of the lake, allowing for a close-up shot. They were so close that Alan had to walk back to the fence to get them all in with the prime lens that he was using. Some residents who fortunately live around the edge of the lake with a view over the nest, mentioned that two chicks hatched first then the other two a couple of days later. Given they are paddling the full length of the lake, Alan supposed that it was not surprising to see one or more of the cygnets hitching a ride with the parent birds.

Small moves for happy families By Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring Infotainment It may be short on words but ‘family car’ is long on the desirable characteristics of a passenger vehicle: affordability, space, versatility, comfort and convenience, power reliability, fuel economy, safety and last, but not least, looks, all jostle to be taken into consideration. This goes a long way to explaining the success of the five and seven-seat sports utility vehicle, or mum’s minibus, the eight-seater people mover, which can take the kids and all their kit. However, there is another side to family life. Sons and daughters leave home and start families of their own. It is often left to mum and dad to bring the family together with visits to their offspring. A gas guzzling minibus is the last thing the downsized duo needs. This is where a small economical runabout comes to the fore – something like the Toyota Yaris Ascent Sport hatchback, a versatile compact capable of carrying four adults, or a couple and all their luggage, the latter on a considerable road test distance. At an affordable $22,130, plus on-road costs, the car is the entry level to the Yaris line and the only variant with a six-speed manual transmission. The others, including petrol/ electric hybrids, have a direct shift CVT, which adds just $1500. A CVT-equipped hybrid on SX and ZR attracts a further $2000 over their equivalent petrol variants. Ownership costs include a five-year warranty, extendable to seven years, up to 10 years on the hybrid battery and five annual services capped at $195 each. Conveniently to hand on Ascent Sport is standard equipment which includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, LED daytime running lamps, tail and stop lights; auto

Driver information is sourced through a 7-inch touchscreen and a 4.2-inch multi-information display in the instrument cluster. Bluetooth connectivity includes phone and music. With enhanced voice recognition, there’s access to Sir, Eyes Free, Google Now voice commands. AM / FM / DAB+ digital radio is in the hands of six speakers, while USB video playback is on offer when the vehicle is stationary.

A long road . . . the Yaris Ascent Sport hatchback passes the family test.

retractable door mirrors with LED turn signals; and power windows. For the first time on a Toyota vehicle in Australia there are safety features designed to make Yaris the world’s safest compact car. They include front-centre airbags, sensors that can detect vehicles or pedestrians at intersections when making turns and secondary collision braking.

Styling The all-new Yaris is shorter and lower than its predecessor, with a longer wheelbase (40 mm). Despite the lower roofline, interior headroom is not compromised, the driver and passengers sitting lower thanks to the new Toyota B-platform.

overhang.

Interior Toyota Yaris Ascent Sport has an all-black interior, offering an open, spacious and comfortable cabin with ample headroom and an up-market ambience with high-quality seat fabrics. Despite a wider centre console, there is no room for an armrest, hence no leaning post for the driver. Gearshift and cup holders take up the space. However, the new platform allows the driver’s seat to be set lower and further back towards the centre of the car, creating an appealing driving position and helping to lower the vehicle’s centre of gravity by around 15 mm. The steering wheel is set closer to the driver, with wider tilt and telescopic adjustments. Electric steering is tuned for a light feel at low speed and responsive feeling at high speed.

Advanced safety technologies include a pre-collision safety system with autonomous emergency braking, active cruise control, automatic high beam, and technologies to assist with cornering, staying in the intended lane and detecting speed signs. A reversing camera and a full suite of brake assist and traction-control systems, including active cornering assist are also standard. Eight airbags include driver, front passenger, two front centre, two front side, two curtain shield. The new front-row centre airbags - a first in class - are designed to offer additional protection in a range of accidents. They can act as energy-absorbing cushions between the driver and front passenger in side crashes, or in passenger-side crashes when the driver is the only occupant. They can also provide safety benefits in rollover accidents.

Summary The test took place mostly under clear winter skies, all on sealed roads, the Yaris also coping with early morning frost in the Southern Highlands and being rain bombed on the Hume, all the way to drawing together relatives and friends - a genuine family car.

Tough game for Eagles By Justin Flynn East Geelong coach Ben Boseley knows his opponent in this weekend’s Geelong District Football League preliminary final will be tough to beat. The Eagles want another crack at Inverleigh in the grand final after a last-quarter fade out in the second semi-final saw the Hawks advance to the decider. But first, the Eagles must defeat Bannockburn, which won its way through to the preliminary final with a 35-point win against Bell Post Hill in the first semi-final “We know that we’ve got Bannockburn and the way they set up and play, they are a real danger side,” Boseley said. “A lot of our focus has been on reviewing our structures against Inverleigh and walking

through Bannockburn and how we can beat them. We’re looking forward to it.” The two sides have met just once this season, in round 11 where an inaccurate East Geelong won by 24 points. The Eagles booted 10.23 to 9.5.

“It looked close on the scoreboard but we had control of the game for large periods of time,” Boseley said. “They play a really good brand of football. They move the footy pretty quickly, wait for the turnover and run in numbers, with some kamikaze handball through the corridor. “It’s not too different to how some of the other teams play. They use handball and quick release and run. We’re expecting a tight contest.” Boseley said his side was looking to assert itself at the stoppages in the preliminary final. “I think we are a very good contested team and have a thirst for the contest,” he said. We have a bit of run and can generate momentum on the outside and our forward line is structurally sound.” The GDFL preliminary final is on Saturday September 3 at 2.10pm at St Albans Reserve.

Prelim pressure brings out the best LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers Grand finals await the winners of this week’s finals matches, as the Junior Saturday season entered its penultimate round. The three six-team sections played their semi-finals, while all eight team grades were in preliminary final mode. Section 1 Boys went as expected with Geelong Lawn White and Green, clear leaders at the end of home and away, recording 4-2 and 5-1 wins over Wandana Heights Blue and White respectively. Things were a little one sided in three of the Boys sections with Waurn Ponds defeating minor premiers Grovedale in Section 5, Geelong Lawn over Surfcoast Torquay in Section 8 and Leopold over Drysdale Brown in Section 9, all five sets to one. Sections 3 and 4 saw third-placed Barwon Heads and All Saints get over the top of Lara and Surfcoast, though with only one point separating each of the teams in both sections at the end of home and away, the matches were expected to be close. Max Creati for Barwon Heads and AJ Williams for All Saints played big parts for their teams winning both their sets. Section 2 Boys saw an upset with Ocean Grove Blue winning through, three sets all with a five-game advantage over Geelong Lawn. This was the team’s first win at three attempts, helped by Timothe Garnier winning his two sets for the morning. Section 6 and 7 were matches of good wins and close losses for Highton and Geelong Lawn White respectively. Nate Ashley and Alfie Oliver both posted comfortable wins in the singles and backed it up in the doubles to help their teams over the line defeating Surfcoast Torquay and Geelong Lawn Blue respectively. In the girls matches, minor premiers Geelong Lawn, after going down in a close one last week, bounced back to take a 5-1 win over Hamlyn Park in Section 4, Wandana Heights White posted the same result against Highton in Section 1, Centre Court against Leopold in Section 5 as did Waurn Ponds against Geelong Lawn Green in Green Ball 1. Section 2 Girls was a close one with Surfcoast Torquay taking the lead three sets to one after the singles, but with two of these sets being in tie-breaks were only two games ahead of Highton. Highton, who had Amelia Vesty roll her ankle during the week ruling her out, showed the depth of their team taking the doubles 6-1, 6-1 to beat the minor premiers three sets all and by eight games, with Lina Johansson winning her two sets for the morning. Section 5 Girls played their semis this week with minor premiers Highton taking a 5-1 win over Surfcoast, but Grovedale got over the more favoured Teesdale in the second semi setting 30 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 2 September, 2022

up the win with three singles sets, then Pia Miller teaming with Ruby Duncan to win her second set and the team’s fourth to take them into next week. The only 6-0 win for the week was posted by Bannockburn in Green Ball 2, over underdogs Wandana Heights. Banno remains unbeaten

in this section and will face Grovedale next week, which narrowly scraped through against Highton in the second semi. Tied at two sets all and separated by only one game after the singles, the doubles were split with Grovedale coming out in front by just two games, the closest margin for the week.

East Geelong rocks into grand final East Geelong is through to the Geelong District Netball League A Grade grand final after a 10-goal win against Winchelsea in the second semi-final on Saturday. The Eagles were at their brilliant best, defeating their fellow birds of prey the Hawks, 36 to 26, and will play the winner of this week’s preliminary final between Winchelsea and Werribee Centrals. Coach Justine Radford said her side steadied after a first-quarter challenge. “The first part of the first quarter Winchelsea got the jump on us and we had to do a fair bit of work to get back into that quarter and we were quite lucky to come away with a two-goal lead at the first break,” she said. “It did take most of that first quarter for the girls to settle, having those finals nerves and not having that opportunity to play in finals the week before. “We knew that was going to be a situation that was going to be tough for us but we were well prepared for that.” East Geelong entered the finals series on top of the ladder and now must wait another week for their chance at premiership success. Radford said either Winch or the Centurions would be a worthy opponent. “I’ve done a lot of observing and watching the games over the last few weeks of finals and I think both teams are very strong and are very physical and I think whoever remains composed on the day will be the team that comes away with that win,” she said. The Eagles were well served by wing defence Claudia Cook. “It’s a pivotal position to shut down that wing attack and force some feeds into the goalring that sets our defenders up to take some nice intercepts,” Radford said. “She had an outstanding game because she has had a lot of consistency in that wing defence position this year. In previous years she’s been pretty much a swing, moving from goal defence to wing attack.” The versatile Ash Cushion started in defence and then was moved to goal attack by Radford, a change that paid off. “She was doing a great job down there but we needed a bit more of a presence in our goaling end to provide Shannon (Pietsch) with some support by being able to get their defenders to switch a little bit and that paid off,” Radford said. “Not only did she shoot 16 goals, she went in and shot at 80 percent which is a phenomenal effort for someone who hasn’t been playing in goals for the last six or seven weeks.” Goalkeeper Steph Boyce was also instrumental in the win. “She remained composed and wasn’t rattled at all,” Radford said. “It was one of the most settled games I’ve seen her play and she was able to steady the girls when we got a rebound or an intercept and move the ball sideways before we started to progress down the court.” Werribee Centrals, which finished fifth, are into the prelim after a six-goal win against Thomson. Melissa Prismall, goal attack Ellie Vincent and goalshooter Ellie Tubbs were best on court. Justin Flynn

Leopold advance to semi finals By Matt Hewson Leopold Lions will make their first semi finals appearance in five years when they face Colac this weekend after defeating St Joseph’s by 52 points last Sunday. The Lions won their elimination final handily, restricting Joeys to just two goals in the second half to claim the victory 12.15 (87) to 4.10 (34). But Leopold coach Garry Hocking said he was very wary of the wounded Tigers, who would no doubt have something to prove after their 62-point loss to Newtown & Chilwell in the qualifying final.

“I don’t want to take anything away from Newtown’s performance, but Colac possibly didn’t turn up last week, to a point,” Hocking said. “They’ll be pretty angry, they’ll come out firing. They’re a proud club and they’re well-coached, and they’ll want to atone for last week. “So we’ve got to be able to weather that and get our own brand of footy going as well.” Hocking said his side had taken some time to find its stride against St Joseph’s, which wouldn’t be good enough against Colac. “There was a bit of resistance from both team early in the game, not much scoring

going on but good defence,” he said. “It was in the last half, the third quarter particularly, where we separated from them in the game. We got our game going, outnumbered them in the contest. “We also outscored them in the third against the breeze, which was surprising, then obviously came home with it and played the rest of the game pretty much in our forward half.” The Lions, who lost both fixtures against Colac in the home and away season, will need to match it with the Tigers physically this week, Hocking said. “They’re a quality team, and they have these

Extra set decides section 1 winner LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers Seniors tennis took on a new level of competitiveness in Section 1 Men, with one match having to go the extra set to decide a winner. The match was expected to be close as Newcomb won its first match by two games and level on sets, but the second went to Surfcoast Torquay 5-1. Each set only afforded one break of serve and could have easily gone the other way. This time around, the teams were locked at two sets all with one game separating them with two sets to play. Chris Higgins and Kai Crosby put Newcomb in a good position winning their set 6-3 while the other set was poised at five games all. Andrew Osbourn held serve for Surfcoast before he and John Stephenson broke to take the set 7-5, leaving the match in a tie. The decider was epic with Stephenson teaming with Michael Hili to take a seeming unassailable 5-1 lead over Newcomb’s Higgins and Pepe Scorpo. The experienced Newcomb pair however, fought back to 5-4 and had a point to level at five-all, but the match ended on a first serve bomb, giving Surfcoast the win 6-4, and a place in next week’s final against Lara. Highton was too good for Geelong East Uniting in Section 2 winning 4-2, while Bannockburn upset home team Hamlyn Park in Section 3, 4-2. Highton didn’t fair well in Section 4 Men, with the Blue team going down to minor premiers Drysdale, and the Gold team missing out against Lara 4-2. In the Mixed sections, Waurn Ponds got up 4-2 against Ocean Grove Blue, with Nicole Mullen dropping one game for the day. Wandana Heights White was in the box seat against Grovedale in Section 2, with a 3-1 lead going into the final mixed sets, but Isaac and Lisa Graham took the fifth to bring White’s lead back to a set and a game, then Kira Aitken and club newcomer Nikhil Thomas followed suit to take the last 6-3 giving Grovedale the win by two games. Grovedale also snuck through in Section 3, with a tight win over Eastern Districts. The match was tied on sets with a four-game lead to the home team going into the final mixed sets, where each team took a set 6-2, leaving the score unchanged and Grovedale through to the grand final. Sections 4 and 5 were 6 team sections, therefore had do or die semis. Minor premiers Clifton Springs/Drysdale started the day the same way as their season in four, with Nicole Nicholls and Andy Vlahovic taking a comfortable 6-0 win in the first mixed. The team won 5-1, while second placed Grovedale matched up against danger team Drysdale. With a mixed bag of results during the three home and away matches, the result

was hard to predict, but Grovedale got on top early and took the match in a surprising six sets to love. Grovedale didn’t fair so well in Section 5 when it came up against Clifton Springs in the first-semi. With a win against the minor premiers during the season, the away team would have liked its chances going into the match, but the Springs proved too consistent taking the match 6-0. The second-semi was a different story though, with Wandana Heights hosting Ocean

Grove. With only half a point separating them on the ladder, and wins to both teams during home and away, a favourite was hard to pick. The starting mixed sets went one each way, then Wandana won the ladies and Ocean Grove the men’s, leaving the teams tied on sets with a two-game advantage to the Grove. It was here that the match turned with the pairings of Jemima Hayes with Jaime Warren and Amelia Bibby with Rod Hindrichsen winning through for the Grove 6-3, 6-3, giving them the win four sets to two.

moments in a game where they bully you, they dominate you, so Sunday’s just about trying to minimise the damage from that,” he said. “We’ve gone to work this week trying to identify areas to address that, and we hope to do better on the weekend. If they do come at us I think we’ll be better prepared for that sort of situation.” Newtown & Chilwell’s victory against Colac puts them in the second qualifying final where they face minor premiers St Mary’s. The winner of that match will progress straight into the grand final, while the loser faces either Colac or Leopold next week in the preliminary final.

Giants prepare for A grade semi clash Geelong West Giants have booked their place in the Geelong Netball League A-grade semifinals with a convincing 53-41 elimination final win against St Albans on Sunday, Giants coach Jill Leader said while the victory had strengthened her players’ belief in the side’s system they would need to maintain a healthy respect for this weekend’s opponents South Barwon. “Once you make the finals you’ve got to really believe you’ve got a chance, so confidence has got to be part of that,” Leader said. “The girls really put the game plan together and committed to it against St Albans, and that’s what got us the win, playing a really connected game together. You’ve got to believe you can take it to every team, and we do believe that. “But in saying that, we know we’ve got our work cut out for us this week against South Barwon; they’re playing some really good netball, they’re a really tight unit and very connected as well. So it’s going to be a really good battle.” The Giants got off to a quick start against St Albans, leading 13-6 at quarter time, and though their opponents cut the deficit to just two goals by half time, Geelong West played a superior second half to seal the 12-goal win. Leader said her players had demonstrated their ability to compete through a full four quarters of netball, something that had been lacking in their loss to South Barwon in round 11. “We learnt a lot from that loss, we had a really bad start,” she said. “We had a few games up till that point where we had bad first quarters, won the last three quarters, but still lost the game, and that game was the last time we did that. I think it was 17-7 at quarter time and we lost by five goals. “And that game was the last time we did that. If you can take learnings from games like that, you’re doing the right thing, and we reset after that game. “I think the four-quarter consistency we’ve shown lately will make this game different, and also showing South Barwon respect and bringing our best.” The Swans lost their qualifying final against Colac on Saturday by just two goals and must now win their next two games to make the grand final, while the Tigers still have the ‘double chance’ up their sleeve as they face minor premiers Newton & Chilwell this week.
