‘Biggest’ in Australia By Ash Bolt The state government has released its designs for its $140 million redevelopment of the Geelong Arts Centre, which Premier Daniel Andrews said would make it the largest regional arts centre in the country. Mr Andrews visited the centre last week to release the designs for the two new performing spaces. The new facility will include a 500-seat theatre that expands to an 800-person capacity in “live gig” mode, as well as a hybrid theatre with more than 250 seats connected to the Little Malop Street Plaza. “I remember being here a few years ago … talking about the fact that we would transform … this precinct into something so much better than what it has been,” Mr Andrews said. “And that’s exactly what we are delivering. This will be Australia’s biggest regional arts centre – not just Victoria, but Australia’s biggest regional art centre. “[We’re investing] $140 million and I couldn’t think of a better place to spend it. “It is all about jobs, setting us up for the future and making sure that that our state is strong because unless Geelong is strong, unless regional Victoria is thriving and booming, then our state can never reach its full potential. “It’ll be such a magical creative space that people can come along, be questioned, be thrilled, be entertained. That whole sweep of emotion and inquiry. That’s what creativity is all about. That’s what our trading economy and creative sector is all about. “I’m very confident that people will be very happy in Geelong to note that they’ve got, I think, the very best facility of its kind anywhere in any region of our nation. “That’s something to be very proud of.” The facility’s design brings together elements from Geelong’s history, and showcases the region’s strong and continuing First Nations culture, its proximity to the ocean, and the local history of circus and theatre. Architects Ashton Raggatt McDougall worked with the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation to weave in stories of the lands, waters and skies as well as local ochres, jarosites from Bells Beach and greenstone found at Dog Rocks in Batesford.

Geelong’s history will be expressed in the Lascelles wool store-inspired moulded concrete walls and the design features a curtain shaped facade inspired by Victoria’s early history of performance, theatre and circus tents. Geelong Art Centre chief executive and creative director Joel McGuinness said the design “truly imagines what an art centre can be for the future”. “This vision is bold and is a once in a generation opportunity designed to deliver

state-of-the-art spaces catering to the full spectrum of performance experiences and providing opportunities for artists and jobs within the creative industries,” he said. “The Geelong Art Centre Little Malop Street redevelopment will be a significant step in the cultural vitality of our city as we reposition from our manufacturing past, to a knowledge, technology and culturally based future. “This design is about reconciliation,

representation and about really supporting artists in our community, and we’re really thrilled to be able to share it.” The project will create about 600 construction jobs and provide opportunities for local apprentices, in a major economic boost to the Geelong community, Mr Andrews said. The project is being delivered by a partnership between the Geelong Arts Centre, Creative Victoria, Development Victoria and Lendlease and is due to be completed by late 2023.

Change afoot for Geelong Arena By Ash Bolt The City of Greater Geelong is looking to offload the management of Geelong Arena. Behind closed doors at last week’s council meeting, councillors voted to explore future options for the arena and seek proposals for the conditional management of the facility for up to the next five years. The decision followed a challenging two-year period for the Geelong Arena, which has been heavily impacted by an inability to host activities and events due to COVID-19 restrictions.

It also would help ease the financial burden on the city, which has been impacted by the pandemic. Mayor Stephanie Asher said the request for proposal process was aimed at revealing all options to maximise Geelong Arena’s potential as a sport and cultural events centre. “The constraints imposed by the pandemic have left the arena in a position where it is financially responsible for us to explore alternative management models,” she said. “We want to bring all potential proposals to light, which will help us decide upon the best way forward for the Geelong Arena.”

The request for proposal process is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2022. There will be conditions attached to any transfer of management that the city said would help protect and enhance the community’s use. Conditions would include honouring the existing licence and user agreements with current community groups under a community sponsorship rate. In a separate project, the council also approved $1.5 million in funding to replace the roof of the Geelong Arena. Any transfer to new management is scheduled to occur following the replacement

of the roof, which will enable the facility to have the broadest range of uses. The city’s sport portfolio chairman Ron Nelson said the roof works would ensure the major events program – which delivered millions of dollars in economic benefit for the region – would continue to thrive. “This will increase the load bearing capacity of the roof, which is essential to increase the use of the facility and to host major events,” Cr Nelson said. The works, which are likely to occur in the second half of 2022, will require a three-month closure of the entire site.

Aaron and Solve Disability Solutions’ Tom Heskins, Tim Marchinton and Laurie King with the new track.

Volunteers grant a BMX track wish A Lara man living with disability has his own BMX track to enjoy thanks to the work of a bunch of dedicated volunteers. Aaron lives in a group home in Lara, which now boasts a backyard BMX track created by volunteers from Solve Disability Solutions. Solve Disability Solutions recreation development co-ordinator Tim Marchinton said Aaron had taken part in the organisation’s Freedom Wheels clinics, which promoted bike riding and staying active, and they had noticed he enjoyed riding bikes. “We’ve never done anything like this before but it came about because I could see Aaron liked riding his bike, [and] when we had him on a basketball court doing an assessment he was doing all these skids and having a lot of fun,” he said. “We found out he used to come out [to

the backyard] and ride around when he was stressed, so he had worn a bit of a track there. “There’s no BMX track anywhere nearby, so we decided we would build him his very own BMX track right here.” Tim said local volunteer Laurie King had spent several months collecting 140 tyres to line the outside the track. The volunteers then surprised Aaron last week by building the track, which included a slalom area and a pit lane. “We’re hoping this will be a place where he can come and find his happy place as he rides around the track,” Tim said. “We know that when you go and use exercise, it releases good endorphins that help make you feel better in terms of managing stress. “We recommend that everybody gets out

and be active regardless of whether you do or don’t have a disability. And having a bit of just straight out old fashioned fun, you can’t go wrong.” Tim said it was a special moment to see Aaron, who was non-verbal, get on the bike and enjoy the track. “It was really special – it was great to see him get on the bike and having fun,” he said. The project was one of many Solve Disability Solutions volunteers have completed to help people living with a disability. Laurie said there was a collection of volunteers across the Barwon region who enjoyed taking on projects to come up with innovative solutions to make life easier for others.

Barwon Health is encouraging all eligible community members to book in for a booster vaccination as case numbers spike in the region. With the region recording about 25 to 30 new cases each day, Barwon South West Public Health Unit director Eugene Athan said it was important everyone continued to get vaccinated. “We have seen a recent spike in COVID-19 cases across the board, including hospitalisations, so we urge anyone still requiring a first or second vaccination to get vaccinated as soon as possible,” he said. “The recent discovery of Omicron variant is also an important reminder to get vaccinated. “For many, the news of the new Omicron variant may cause stress and worry. However the message at this stage is that it is too early to know what this new variant will mean.” Professor Athan said at least 55 per cent of people who had received a vaccination at Barwon Health and were eligible for a booster had already received the jab. “We will be closely monitoring the uptake of boosters as we know this is a crucial part of the vaccination program,” he said. “A COVID-19 booster dose helps prevent waning immunity and increased protection against COVID-19. “Eligible people will receive the Pfizer vaccine as their booster dose. They can safely get this Pfizer booster dose regardless of which COVID-19 vaccine they received for their initial doses.” Booster doses are available for anyone who received their second vaccination at least six months ago. Booster dose walk-ins are currently available at the Community Vaccination Hub in Norlane or appointments can be made by calling 1800 675 398 or online at portal.cvms.vic.gov.au. The Community Vaccination Hub in Norlane is open Monday to Saturday from 8.30am-3.30pm. Booster doses are also being offered by GPs and pharmacies.

Surf Coast Aquatic and Health Centre moves a step closer Design works for the new Surf Coast Aquatic and Health Centre are ready to start, following the awarding of the design tender by Surf Coast Shire Council last week. Melbourne-based architect Peddle Thorp will prepare plans for the $39.25 million centre, incorporating an indoor heated 50-metre pool and amenities. Council unanimously awarded the contract at last week’s meeting, resolving that the tender best met project requirements and provided best value for money. “We are pleased to be taking another significant step towards delivery of this

much-anticipated project and excited about what it will bring for people of all ages and abilities,” mayor Libby Stapleton said. The design process is expected to take up to a year, with construction forecast to start in April or May 2023, and completion estimated for mid-2025. The centre is expected to include an indoor heated 50-metre pool, a multi-purpose warm water pool, a gym and multi-purpose program rooms, allied health and office suites, and meeting rooms for community organisations. The project has received $20 million funding from the federal government’s Female Facilities

and Water Safety Stream Program and $13.5 million from the state government across two grant streams. The remaining $5.75 million has been contributed by the Surf Coast Shire Council. Geelong-based senator Sarah Henderson welcomed awarding of the design tender, hailing the project as a dream come true for the Surf Coast community. “The Morrison Liberal government is proud to be investing $20 million in the Surf Coast Aquatic and Health Centre, which will be a wonderful asset for community health and wellbeing,” she said.

“The awarding of the detailed design tender is another very significant milestone in this state-of-the-art project.” Cr Stapleton thanked the federal and state governments and said council would undertake a detailed design phase, taking care and time to accommodate the size and complexity of the project. Community members will have opportunity to comment on the design as it takes shape in 2022. The new centre will be integrated with the recently-completed Wurdi Baierr Stadium, adjoining Banyul Warri Fields in Torquay North and is council’s largest-ever project.

$100m hydrogen hub investment By Ash Bolt GeelongPort has announced plans to expand its operations with $100 million investment to build the Geelong Hydrogen Hub. The Geelong Hydrogen Hub will be a production and distribution facility for green hydrogen, a sustainable energy carrier that can be used as an alternative fuel source for Victorian households, businesses and industries and help reduce Victoria’s reliance on fossil fuels. It also announced CAC-H2 as the hub’s foundation green hydrogen developer.

GeelongPort chief executive Brett Winter said he was pleased to announce the positive step forward for the Geelong region and Australia’s climate change approach. He also said it was milestone in GeelongPort’s aim to become the country’s most sustainable port. “We acknowledge that climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing communities globally, and we need to do everything we can at a local level to respond and minimise these impacts,” Mr Winter said. “As a critical infrastructure asset and key regional gateway for Victoria’s supply chains, we need to be adaptive and responsive to

the impacts of climate change to ensure the long-term sustainability and resilience of businesses and communities that rely on us so heavily. This is why we are proud to be partnering with CAC-H2 as our foundation partner to generate green hydrogen and establish the Geelong Hydrogen Hub. “The Geelong Hydrogen Hub will position Geelong as a leader in the development of clean energy infrastructure.” Development of the Geelong Hydrogen Hub will also include the ability to produce green ammonia for export into Asia to meet the growing demand in the region.

Pending regulatory approvals, the first stage of the Geelong Hydrogen Hub is expected to be operational in December 2023, creating over 50 jobs during its construction and establishing many more direct and indirect clean energy jobs as Victoria transitions to green hydrogen. GeelongPort has also partnered with Startupbootcamp’s Greater Geelong Hydrogen Technology cluster and is engaging with interested parties to identify future partnership opportunities in developing the Geelong Hydrogen Hub at GeelongPort.

Get involved with Geelong’s new Rotaract club Geelong now has a new Rotaract club for young professionals and students to come together to develop their professional and leadership skills through community service. The Rotaract Club of Djilang (Geelong) was launched last week with 29 founding members, including international and local tertiary students and young professionals. Rotaract is a global organisation that empowers young professionals and students to create positive and lasting change in themselves, their local community and around the world. It supports young people, aged between 18 and 35, to become emerging leaders in their study, work and local community. The Rotaract Club of Djilang is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Kardinia and supported by Study Geelong and Study Melbourne through an Inclusion Program Grant, designed to support the wellbeing of international students,

“Through initiatives like the Rotaract Club of Djilang, we want to promote Geelong as not only a high quality education destination, but also as a place for outstanding student

experience,” she said. “The Victorian government wants to ensure all international students have an opportunity to grow and thrive during their time here, and develop a sense of genuine belonging, so that you can call the neighbourhood where you live home.” Founding president Lauren Murphy said the group was looking forward to supporting the community. “Rotaractors help, learn, and enjoy,” she said. “They help those in need, learn through professional development opportunities, and enjoy social activities.” There are about 70 Rotaract clubs across Australia, which make up part of the worldwide organisation of over 250,000 individuals in nearly 11,000 clubs covering more than 180 countries.

Funding up and running By Ash Bolt More than $730,000 will be given to 135 community groups, clubs and organisations through the City of Greater Geelong’s 2021-22 Community Grants program. Behind closed doors at last week’s council meeting, councillors voted to award $731,840 in grants – ranging from $260 to $10,000 – to support arts projects and festivals, community events, environmental sustainability initiatives, equipment purchases and community-based projects. Mayor Stephanie Asher said the grants were a vital way for the council to assist community groups who made a huge contribution to Greater Geelong. “Most of the clubs and groups we support through the grants program are volunteer-led, and they almost always run on a very tight budget,” she said. “We hope these grants will relieve some financial pressure, and help the recipients continue making a positive difference in our community.” Among the grant recipients was the East Geelong Little Athletics Club, which received a $1860 grant to buy discuses, hurdles, shot puts, a rake, agility equipment and an equipment trolley. Club president Kylie Harris said she was overjoyed for the club’s 47 little athletes who would benefit from the funding. “As the smallest club of the Geelong Little Athletics Centre I want to establish East Geelong as a club that can provide team training with proper equipment – something we have been unable to do since I took over the club two years ago,“ Ms Harris said. “With the purchase of this equipment the kids will be able to not only do running but also learn warm-up skills and practice for field

events, and the best thing is that it will help build confidence in a fun team environment.” Among the 135 grants, there were 36 for community events, including the Bellarine Agricultural Show ($3000) and the Geelong Classic Truck and Machinery Show ($5760). Thirty-two of the grants were for community projects such as the Greater Geelong Skate Park Activation Project, which received $10,000, and 26 grants allowed community groups and clubs

to purchase much-needed equipment. Twenty-five of the grants were dedicated to the arts, with 17 projects and eight festivals receiving funding. The last 16 grants were awarded to environmental sustainability projects, with the Geelong Sustainability Group’s 100 per cent Electric Vehicle Project receiving $10,000.

Fire danger starts soon The Golden Plains Shire will be the first in the region to enter the fire danger period, with the CFA declaring restrictions will come into force from December 13. It will run until May. During a fire danger period, residents are unable to light a fire in the open air unless they have a permit or comply with certain requirements. Along with the declaration, the Golden Plains Shire’s fire hazard inspection program has been busy, issuing 275 fire prevention notices to properties that were deemed fire hazards. The majority of the non-compliant properties are currently vacant or unoccupied, and owners have until Sunday to address the fire risks. The shire will begin the second round of fire hazard inspections on Monday. If an extension has not be granted and works have not been conducted, owners risk a $1817 infringement notice and council organising a contractor to complete the works at an additional cost. In October, council began its own fire prevention works, starting the annual roadside slashing program of all sealed roads and strategic fire breaks to reduce fuel loads. This year, the shire is trialling a program to slash unsealed roadsides deemed suitable by its environment and sustainability team. The shire also burns off selected reserves to remove fire hazards. This program started in the drier south of the shire before moving north, with the program to be completed by Christmas.

Lara MP John Eren has announced he won’t be running for re-election at next year’s state election after spending 20 years in parliament. Mr Eren was originally elected in 2002 in the upper house representing Geelong Province, before switching to the lower house to represent the Lara electorate at the 2006 election. “It has been two years since I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. This diagnosis along with challenges brought about by the COVID pandemic has made me place a greater focus on my health and wellbeing and that of my family and friends, to value the ability to spend quality time with them,” he said. “When we come to the end of this term of parliament in about 12 months, I feel that will be the time for me to step away and spend my time pursuing other things.” Mr Eren said his story was an “example of the opportunities that this country can create

for migrants to our great state”. “I arrived in Melbourne from Turkey with my parents as a child. I grew up in the high rise commission flats in North Melbourne. English was a second language but I learnt it quickly and I worked hard to fit into Australian culture being mindful of my heritage and background,” he said. “I worked on the production line at Ford. I was elected as a union delegate at the age of 22 and represented hundreds of workers for the Vehicle Builders Union. “I need to thank the people of Lara for electing me time and again as their member of parliament, it is an honour that I have never taken for granted and one that has always been dear to my heart.“ Premier Daniel Andrews said Mr Eren had been a strong advocate for Geelong.

Planning power concern By Ash Bolt A Belmont resident is concerned the state government’s new streamlined planning permit process for Big Housing Build projects will give the community less say in developments happening in their neighbourhoods. Pam Clark is a resident of a social housing property in Belmont where a development to demolish the existing 16 units and build 29 in their place has been proposed. Ms Clark, who is an incomplete quadriplegic, said she was opposed the development and had written an objection earlier this year when the developer, Housing Choices Australia, applied to the City of Greater Geelong for a planning permit. She said she was then surprised to receive a letter from the developer last month, which stated as the project had received funding from the state government’s Big Housing Build program it was no longer required to apply for a planning permit from the council. Under clause 52.20 of the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme, which the state government introduced in March, projects with Big Housing Build funding can instead seek approval from the energy, environment and climate change minister. Ms Clark said she was concerned the streamlined process would limit the community’s ability to ensure developments were suitable for the neighbourhood and the people who needed the housing. “I’m very concerned about this streamlined process,” she said. “It goes against all our legal processes … we have the planning permit process for a reason – to ensure that developments are the right fit. “I’m concerned that this won’t be the case now, they’re putting too much power into the hands of developers – it’s a shonky process.

Pam Clark. (Ivan Kemp) 259767

“These are supposed to support vulnerable people, but now they won’t even get a voice to ensure they are suitable. And how can we ensure that any development will fit with the architecture of the rest of the street?” A government spokesperson said developers would still have to consult with residents and the council and produce a report showing how they addressed community concerns before a decision was made to approve a development. “Consultation with the community and the council is required for all Big Housing Build projects. We make no apology for streamlining approval of our Big Housing Build sites to get much needed jobs and homes on the ground as

soon as possible,” the spokesperson said. Housing Choices Australia said it had worked with all residents at the property to find alternative accommodation ahead of the development and had addressed the concerns raised through the City of Greater Geelong permit application process. It amended its plan to include screening around the property. As it had already completed community consultation through that process, it was not required to complete it a second time under its application to the minister. It said it was confident the development, if approved, would be built to a high standard and be suitable for the primarily older tenants it would support.

The Wathaurong board said Mr Flagg had shown he was a “passionate and talented advocate for Aboriginal communities” through his work as a senior manager and senior executive at public service organisations including Victoria Police, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Justice. “Mr Flagg’s skills, knowledge, and experience, coupled with his warm and engaging personal style, will see him perform as an excellent spokesperson for Wathaurong communities,” the board said. “Additionally, his clear passion for Wathaurong, combined with his demonstrated commitment to his community and improving outcomes for Aboriginal people, will see him add even more energy to our efforts to make a difference to our people and to establishing Wathaurong as an employer of choice and a champion in the Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation space. “Mr Flagg is well equipped to lead the organisation now and into the future.” Mr Flagg was previously the Wathaurong Aboriginal Co-operative’s corporate services director.

Swap your fees for food By Ash Bolt Geelong Regional Library Corporation (GRLC) is wiping the slate clean for library members with its Food for Fines appeal, waiving overdue fines in exchange for donations to the Geelong Food Relief Centre. Until Friday, December 10, the GRLC will waive customers’ overdue fines in exchange for donations of non-perishable food items. Food items can be donated at any library branch or mobile library in the GRLC network, and will be collected by Geelong Food Relief Centre volunteers for distribution to individuals and families through its emergency food relief program. GRLC chairman Ron Nelson said in addition to making a difference to the lives of local people experiencing hardship, the Food for Fines appeal also provided a great excuse for library members to get back to using their library if they had been put off by fines accruing. “The Food for Fines appeal is a ‘win-win’ for the community,” Cr Nelson said. “We know that some library members stop visiting their local library because they have accumulated fines. COVID-19 has also meant that people may be out of the routine of getting along to the library. “At the same time, by making a donation to the appeal you know that you’ll be supporting the amazing work that Geelong Food Relief Centre does to assist local people who are experiencing food and financial insecurity at a time when many in our community are vulnerable.” Food insecurity is a significant issue across the Greater Geelong area, and it is anticipated around 42,000 individuals will be assisted with emergency food relief throughout the region during the 2021-22 financial year. The Food for Fines appeal was not run last

year due to the pandemic, however during the 2019 appeal, more than two metric tons of food was donated by the community and distributed locally. GRLC chief executive Vanessa Schernickau said she was anticipating a similarly generous response this year. “We are lucky to live and work in such an amazing community and during COVID we have seen local people really rally together and support those in our region who are doing it tough,” she said. Geelong Food Relief Centre chief executive Collin Peebles said his team of volunteers continued to meet unprecedented demand for its emergency service.

“The pandemic has put an additional demand on our services, with many in our community feeling the strain of financial pressure and food insecurity,” Mr Peebles said. “With the onset of the festive season GFRC welcomes donations through the Food for Fines appeal which will help us bolster depleted stock levels at a critical and busy time of year.” Food products donated through the appeal should have an expiration date of May 2022 or later. Geelong Food Relief Centre has indicated there was currently demand for items including canned tuna, assorted condiments, cake mix, pasta and sauce, dry biscuits, noodles, dried fruit, flour, tea and coffee, UHT milk and sauces.

Station works Upgrades to the Waurn Ponds train station will take place over the coming weeks as part of the wider upgrade of the Geelong line. The state government has planned a summer works blitz, which will include a new station forecourt at Waurn Ponds to transform the main entrance. New paving, seating and pedestrian paths will be installed to improve links between the car park and station and make the station more accessible. Ramps connecting to the new pedestrian overpass will also be lifted into place, with fittings for the stairs, ramps and overpass to be finalised. Major earthworks for the new train stabling and maintenance facility near Waurn Ponds station will continue, to enable track installation to start next year. The stabling facility will support additional services on the Geelong line, and will include six stabling tracks to store and fuel trains. Work to upgrade the Warrnambool line will also progress while trains aren’t running, with signalling infrastructure to be installed at Boorcan to support the crossing loop’s operation. Coaches will replace trains between Warrnambool and Geelong, and buses will replace trains between Waurn Ponds and South Geelong until Sunday, December 12. The Waurn Ponds station upgrade project includes the construction of a second platform on the south side of the station with shelters and seating, track duplication to enable trains to pass each other, and the new pedestrian overpass to provide access between the two platforms.

THE CITY OF GREATER GEELONG IS PROUDLY LOCATED ON

WADAWURRUNG COUNTRY Friday, 3 December, 2021 GEELONG INDEPENDENT 9

BUSINESS GEELONGINDY.COM.AU

Golden era of property beckons Victoria’s greenfield land markets continue to offer tremendous opportunities for prospective buyers, and one of the regions that demonstrates this the most is Geelong and its surrounding areas. The city and surrounding suburbs have emerged as a pivotal region for housing supply as demand for property has surged across the state. Geelong’s combination of affordability, lifestyle, location and infrastructure is ticking a lot of boxes amongst a growing number of hopeful buyers and savvy investors. Leading real estate service company Oliver Hume has been part of the rise of Geelong land sales and has managed transactions for several major residential projects in this growth corridor. Oliver Hume’s in-house research teams also track multiple data points to build an understanding of Geelong’s residential property industry. It’s about analysing what the Geelong market has done in the past, what is happening now, and where the market is headed. Strong demand for land in Geelong saw the region record a median lot price above $300,000 for the first time in the most recent quarter, reaching $313,750. New residential land in Geelong is now worth more than $31,700 more than 12 months ago, increasing 11.3 per cent over the period. Compared to the broader and established residential market, where the Melbourne median house price has surpassed $1 million, housing affordability in the Geelong region continues to underpin the purchasing decisions of many buyers. One of Geelong’s strengths is providing options that allow prospective buyers priced out of other markets to secure property in the region and get a foot on the property ladder. And there are a number of high quality,

to bring new land and townhome availability to the area, which will help to increase housing supply and meet the unwavering demand. Geelong is a city on the move and these exciting

residential projects will form part of the fabric of the local communities. For more information, visit www. oliverhume.com.au.

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK NCIS 10, Tuesday, 8.30pm

Can a long-running series be the same when an integral, much-loved character takes a back seat? This is what fans are wondering as season 19 of the police procedural premieres tonight. In perhaps a merciful move, the show’s writers appeared to kill off Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) via a massive boat explosion in last season’s finale, planting the seed that the central protagonist’s days were numbered after 18 years on the beat. In “Blood in the Water”, the team searches for Gibbs after discovering the wreckage of his boat, and find out he was tracking a serial killer. Harmon bows out this season, with limited appearances promised in future.

MADDY THE MODEL SBS Viceland, Friday, 9.50pm

TOTAL CONTROL ABC TV, Sunday, 8.40pm

Swedish filmmaker Jane Magnusson embarked on a four-year, round-theworld journey following Brisbaneborn Madeline Stuart (pictured) and her mother Rosanne to film this intimate documentary. It tells the story of how Maddy, who was born with Down syndrome, became a star on the New York Fashion Week runway, and how her remarkable career unfolded while the media watched with fascination. At its core, it’s an exploration of the bond between a mother and daughter who have gone up against the odds with optimism and a can-do attitude, and an examination of the concept of disability and beauty.

The penultimate episode of season two of this piercing political drama is bolstered by excellent performances from its stars Deborah Mailman (pictured), Rachel Griffiths and William McInnes. At a short and sharp six episodes long, its perhaps enough time for viewers to marinate in the absurdity and selfishness of politics; one can easily imagine certain scenes playing out across the country as political leaders hustle to keep their jobs. This week, the identity of Alex’s (Mailman) troll is finally uncovered, and he’s someone she knows. Meanwhile, Alex and Rachel (Griffiths) band together to ultimately decide who will be the next PM.

Chain of command: Mark Harmon has played NCIS stalwart Special Agent Gibbs since 2003.

TRAVEL, COOK, REPEAT WITH CURTIS STONE SBS Food, Monday, 6.30pm

Curtis Stone (pictured) is living the travelling chef dream. The Aussie, who now resides in LA with a Michelin-starred restaurant under his apron, obviously loves to eat, cook and create. In this leisurely series, he adds travel into the concoction for the perfect mix of escapism and food because, let’s face it: travel is food’s best friend. In this six-part sojourn, he begins in Western Australia, with further episodes indulging in Rome, Umbria, Rioja, Sonoma and New South Wales. Tonight, mud crabs are the star when Stone catches some at the beach. The result is a delicious Vietnamese salad.

Lots of Wicked thrills await

Music royalty on show By Ash Bolt With the performing arts industry having been devastated by the pandemic, a new music festival is launching on the Bellarine Peninsula this month to get the community back enjoying live music. The Bellarine Music Festival kicks off next Saturday with an impressive line-up of Australian music royalty and will continue each weekend throughout December. Organised by Premier Artists, the aim of the festival is to get live music happening in the regions again and give the community the chance to support the live music industry. Premier Artists’ Brad O’Brien said the team had been working behind the scenes to release a series of shows supporting great Australian talent, with more to come. “Teaming up with Bellarine Estate and MoonMother, where we have run successful shows in the past, was the logical place to launch the Bellarine Music Festival,” he said. “It’s great to get back into regional Victoria where we can provide entertainment for the locals, as well as attract lots of other visitors to the region. We are aiming these as very intimate COVID-safe concerts to get people back to live outdoor music.” The first concert in the series kicks off on December 11 with Brian Mannix and The Androids, The Chantoozies and Taxiride. The next day, the event is headlined by Ross Wilson and The Peaceniks, The Badloves and Kings Canyon.

The series returns the following weekend on December 18 with Daryl Braithwaite and JR Reyne, and on December 19 with Forever 80s and JR Reyne. A special New Year’s Day event is scheduled for January 1 with The Black Sorrows and Darlinghurst. Ross Wilson said he was excited to able to get back on stage and play music after what has been a “tough 18 months to two years”. “We haven’t really been able to perform for crowds for a long time now, except for a few small periods in between lockdowns,” he said. “It’s been hard, so we’re thrilled we’re able to come down to the Bellarine and play. “The performing arts – not just music, but theatre and all those performers – have been

one of the most hammered industries. “Everyone’s felt the impacts, but for a lot of us, we couldn’t work from home … and so we’ve lost a few really good people. “But it’s great that we can now get back to doing what we love.” Wilson said he had seen an appetite for live music and was expecting to see large crowds. “We’ve really felt that enthusiasm and everyone is seeing shows selling out all over the place,” he said. “We did our first show since July in the past week in Avoca and I could just see everyone smiling and having a good time. It was fantastic. “Everyone just wants to get out and have fun, so where better than to come to a winery and listen to some music.” No stranger to the region, having been “almost a resident at the Eureka Hotel in the 70s”, Wilson said he was looking forward to heading back to the Bellarine. He said he and his band The Peaceniks would play a collection of Daddy Cool and Mondo Rock hits along with some new music. “I was lucky that through the pandemic I was able to go through the songs I had written over the years that I had never done anything with,” he said. “There was a rich vein of material there. “So along with the hits – it’s the 50th anniversary of Eagle Rock – we’ll also be road testing some new stuff. “I think the people always appreciate hearing a mix of the classics and the new songs.” Details: bellarinemusicfestival.com.au

St Ignatius College Drysdale has had the entire year to prepare for its stage production Wicked and one of the lead characters said it was exciting to finally deliver the show. Originally scheduled for August, Wicked, a wildly successful Broadway musical, was pushed back due to the pandemic, but now it’s all systems go. Paris Walsh, who plays Glinda the good witch, said she didn’t even know Wicked was a musical until she found out the school was planning to bring it to the community. “We’ve been rehearsing non-stop pretty much since the start of the year,” the 18-year-old said. “It’s so exciting. It’s my first lead role.” Paris will take to the stage alongside a stellar cast, including Zoe Walter, who plays Elphaba. She has previously been involved in the school’s rendition of Beauty and the Beast and School of Rock. They are backed by a full orchestra. Paris said she has been singing since she started high school. “I joined the choir, but I was never really confident, but this has made me realise I can actually do it,” she said. “I’d like to pursue it (drama) in the future. I’m having a gap year next year so I’ll look to do some auditions and follow it further.” Despite being good friends with her fellow actor Zoe, Paris said there was nothing awkward about playing characters who initially don’t like each other. “We’re pretty close so it’s easy to act and know we’re not being serious,” she said. Paris said the show’s choreography, backed by singing and dancing tuition from teachers Rhea Walker and Marina Brown, would be a highlight for the crowd. Paris said theatre-goers would be surprised by the sheer talent of the production. “The amount of local talent at our school is amazing,” she said. “It really feels like a Broadway show.” Wicked is at Costa Hall, Geelong, on December 9 and 10 from 7.30pm.

Live-streamed Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra concerts and virtual tours of the fascinating exhibits across Museums Victoria – life is pretty exciting for the residents at Uniting AgeWell Kalkee Community Murray. Residents recently enjoyed seeing a number of exhibits at the world-class Melbourne Museum, including the Pendle Hall Dolls House, the Royal Exhibition Building, the Blue Whale skeleton and the Great Melbourne Telescope. There was also the added honour of being the first aged care facility to take part in this pilot program by Museums Victoria, which aims to bring the museum experience to aged care homes, virtually. The interactive presentation involved not only a virtual tour, but trivia quizzes, question-and-answer cards and a whole lot more, supplied by the museum. The residents also loved reminiscing and sharing stories – all over a cuppa, of course! Because there are so many exhibits at the museum, which houses a mind-blowing excess of 17 million artefacts, residents are looking forward to being able to explore as many as possible from the comfort of their armchairs. Museum’s Victoria senior outreach program officer, Krystal Kunig says The Armchair Travel to the museum program is aimed at “engaging aged care residents with the museum’s collections through a virtual experience with interactive activities that trigger personal memories and spark conversations.” Krystal says they chose the Kalkee Murray Community to launch the pilot program because residents were very enthusiastic about the initiative and have wonderful previous experiences of the museum. Krystal says they hope to extend it to all aged care facilities across Victoria in the future.

One of the residents who got into the swing of things was Lyndsay Morrow (pictured), who read out the quiz questions. The 80-year old loves getting involved in everything, including helping run the bingo sessions, playing bowls and dressing up as Santa each year. Because the retired car salesman also used to work as a professional Santa, his “ho-ho’s” are pretty convincing! Residents are also enjoying live-streamed classical music concerts, thanks to the long-standing partnership between Uniting AgeWell and the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra (TSO). These concerts are more than just music; they’re joyous events that are celebrated with bubbly and nibbles or high tea. Music plays a very important role in people’s lives, whatever their age. It harnesses joy and evokes powerful emotions in listeners. It is particularly important in aged care. The therapeutic benefits of music are well known, especially for people with dementia, helping them to relax and reduce anxiety. Uniting AgeWell has a raft of services providing a continuum of care in the Geelong area. There are a growing number of clients on a Government-funded home care package with the organisation, giving them access to services from personal care and domestic assistance, through to nursing care and allied health services like physiotherapy, respite care, social connection and assistive technology. Services are also available at any time on a self-funded basis. For those needing a bit of extra care, either on a permanent basis or for a bit of respite, there are the residential facilities of Uniting AgeWell Kalkee Community Murray as well as Nangatta.

Renting in retirement: enjoy the best of both worlds Choosing to move into an independent seniors’ community can be both exciting and slightly overwhelming. However, the benefits of doing so can be enormous, as it provides the opportunity to be surrounded by other like-minded people in a close-knit community. “Renting in retirement is a great way to enjoy the best of both worlds – maintain your independence whilst enjoying community living,” Ingenia Gardens portfolio manager Madonna Jackson says. As people get older there is a risk of social isolation, which is why Ms Jackson says Ingenia Gardens works hard to ensure there is an excellent sense of community in its villages. “We run numerous events throughout the year and our resident lifestyle program, Activate, has proven to be very popular,” she says. Activate is a complementary events-based program provided to all residents in Ingenia Gardens communities. The program consists of activities, themed meals, performances, bus trips and educational talks. Ingenia Gardens offer a range of flexible meal packages, providing residents with home-style meals prepared onsite by the catering team for those that select this option. “You are also completely welcome to continue cooking for yourself,” Ms Jackson says. If low-maintenance living and the freedom of independence appeals to you, contact Ingenia Gardens Geelong or Ingenia Gardens Grovedale on 1800 44 54 64 or go to www.ingeniagardens.com.au for more information.

Lexus LS steers a steady course in luxury surrounds Lexus LS has form: as the LS 400 the luxury sedan, in 1989, led the introduction of Toyota’s premium arm Down Under, becoming the harbinger for a whole range of vehicles from compact hatchbacks to robust SUVs, embracing petrol/electric hybrid technology. Lexus would be the first to admit it called on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan as the template for what was to be its perennial flagship. Fast forward more than 30 years with the arrival of the upgraded LS 500. An upgraded model has come onto the market, which the maker claims, introduces a new level of opulence and a wider application of advanced automotive technology in conventional or hybrid powered variants. Standard features across the range include such things as suspension modifications designed to produce a more comfortable ride while maintaining the model’s dynamic character, the advanced Lexus Safety System+, while F Sport variants gain additional driver-assist features previously exclusive to Sports Luxury. Under the bonnet is a 264 kW 3.5-litre naturally aspirated V6 hybrid powertrain in the LS 500h, or 310 kW 3.5-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine in the LS 500. Both come in F Sport or Sport Luxury grades. Prices start at $195,953 for the former and $201,078 the latter, increases of less than one per cent.

Driving

Lexus LS 500 F Sport floats latest tech in luxury surroundings.

grille, front bumper and tail-lamp highlights, as well as boosted LED headlamps featuring advanced BladeScan adaptive beam technology giving more precise illumination. Further design enhancements include badging, dark metallic accents and grilles and 20-inch dark metallic alloy wheels. Lexus also offers Lustre Shadow, a new exterior paint finish across the range that incorporates flakes of aluminium in a mirror-like finish.

Engines / Transmissions Styling Lexus is the first to admit the use, among other things, of the squared off Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan as the template for the LS 400, which with corners knocked off and sharp angles rubbed out in its fifth generation in 2018, gave way to a sleek four-door coupe with the ‘500’ tag. Now, with a 2021 update, LS 500 looks are further enhanced with an elegant new radiator

The LS 500 F Sport’s 310 kW twin-turbo V6 motor serves up maximum power of 310 kW at 6000 rpm and holds peak torque of 600 Nm between 1600 and 4800 rpm, the tasty combination, driving the rear wheels through a ten-speed automatic transmission.

Safety Making its debut in a Lexus is a digital rear-view mirror, Its large display presenting

real-time images from the reversing camera, providing improved vision in all weather and lighting conditions while ensuring the view is not obstructed by headrests or passengers. The further advanced Lexus Safety System+ incorporates intersection turning assist, first seen in the new Lexus IS and designed to provide alerts and, if necessary, automatic braking if it detects an oncoming vehicle when turning right, or a pedestrian approaching from the front when turning right or left. The LS also joins the IS with standard Lexus Connected Services, which include Automatic Collision Notification - the ability to generate an automatic emergency call to a round-the-clock emergency call centre and relay the vehicle location in an accident requiring intervention, or if an airbag, of which there are ten, deploys. A full-colour head-up windscreen display provides driving info without the driver having to look away from the road ahead.

The LS 500’s 3.5-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine features re-engineered pistons reducing noise when the engine is cold, while dual variable valve timing adopts hydraulic control on the inlet side to reduce weight while maintaining the engine’s strong torque over a broad rev range. More weight loss is obtained with a new one-piece intake manifold made from aluminium instead of cast iron. Running on the recommended 95 RON petrol, Lexus claims a combined urban / highway fuel consumption of 10 litres per 100 kilometres. The LS 500 F Sport on test returned figures of 11 and 5.9 litres per 100 kilometres respectively. While the F Sport is the performance model - zero to 100 km/h in 5 seconds - the adaptive variable suspension incorporates height adjustable multi-link front and rear air system, with the F Sport adding front and rear stabilisers producing the calmness of cruising we have come to expect from a Lexus flagship. Standard 20-inch wheels are wrapped with a new run-flat tyre designed with a lower vertical spring rate to reduce the impact of road surface blemishes further adding to ride comfort. The LS 500 is a ‘lolly jar’ brimming with sweet temptations picked through a plethora of easy-to-reach controls including buttons, knobs, switches, pedals, paddles and a touchpad enough to satisfy the ultimate tech-savvy motorist.

Summary On introduction to Australia, the Lexus LS 400 set the highest standards of craftsmanship finish and automotive technology not found in cars outside the super-luxury European sedans. More than 30 years later the LS 500 flagship continues the line. Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring

Cats’ finances are in the black By Ash Bolt The Geelong Football Club has announced a profit of $4.7 million over the past year. The strong result was underpinned by the club’s sale of The Brook gaming venue in Point Cook last November for a gain of $2.4 million. Chief operating officer Simon Kelleher said the club was now debt-free and owed its strong position to loyal members and sponsors. “Whilst our result was underpinned by the sale of The Brook gaming venue, we must acknowledge and thank the ongoing contribution of our Geelong Strong members in season 2021, in what was another disrupted and challenging year in being able to attend games of football” he said. “We saw all areas of the club display great flexibility and agility in making significant

We saw all areas of the club display great flexibility and agility in making significant changes

’’

- Simon Kelleher changes to the way we operate. Those changes ensured we delivered an exceptional financial result in 2021, whilst the club was able to continue to perform at a high level on and off the field. “The club is now debt free for the first time in decades and positioned to bounce out of COVID-19. Management have developed a clear strategy under new [chief executive] Steve Hocking for crowds to return in season 2022,

kicking off with the AFLW season in January.” The sale of The Brook was a significant milestone for the club, which no longer collects direct revenues from gambling. Kelleher said the club was focused on identifying new opportunities to substitute gaming revenues, such as investment in health, fitness and hospitality industries, as well as the ongoing upgrade of GMHBA Stadium. “The club is focused on working with Kardinia Park Stadium Trust in completing stage five at GMHBA Stadium, increasing the stadium capacity to 40,000 in season 2023,” he said. “In addition, management is developing the club’s vision for the next evolution of the club’s high-performance facilities for both its AFL women’s and men’s teams. “We are determined for the club to remain

the destination club for players, staff, members and our commercial partners. “Whilst a challenging year financially, we increased our commitment in making a significant and meaningful difference in our community, and will again focus on our community impact in 2022 and beyond. “Once again, we would like to thank our members for their continued support. There is an emotional and financial investment in being a member and we do not take it for granted. “We will continue to strive to achieve our goals in 2022, both on and off the field.” The club revealed its operating revenues increased by one-third to $47.4 million over the year. The club had 70,293 members in 2021 and received $11.7 million through sponsorship – a $1.6 million increase on 2020.

Geelong falls just short in slam start

Three Falcons drafted to join Cats Three Geelong Falcons stars were among the six players selected by Geelong at the AFL draft last week. The Cats added St Mary’s ruckman Toby Conway with pick 24 and Grovedale pair Mitch Knevitt (pick 25) and Cooper Whyte (pick 64) at the draft, as well as South Australian James Willis (pick 32) and Flynn Kroeger (pick 48) from Eastern Ranges. Geelong then added Carey Grammar forward Ollie Dempsey with pick 15 in the rookie draft. Conway, Knevitt and Whyte were the only three Falcons players to be selected in the national draft. Geelong recruiting and list manager Stephen Wells said the club was pleased with its selections. “We are excited to add these boys to our list,” he said. “We came in with a plan to draft some midfielders and apart from Toby, the other four are genuine midfielder types who complement each other, and the other players we already have at the club. “To be able to trade up and get pick 23 was important to us. It came on the back of some trades we did last year in the Jeremy Cameron deal. 22 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 3 December, 2021

“Toby and Mitch, who we picked in the 20s, had outstanding years for the Falcons and for the Vic country team. “Cooper was a great contributor for the Falcons. We were very happy to pick them.” After not being involved in the first night of the draft, Cats fans didn’t have to wait long for Geelong to snap up Conway with the fourth pick of the second round. Conway was the first pure ruckman taken in the draft and was highly rated after working with former Geelong star Brad Ottens throughout the year. Wells said Conway had good endurance that allowed him to move well around the ground and get involved in general play. He was named in the NAB League team of the year and represented both Vic Country and the Australian academy team in 2021. “Toby, like most ruckmen, may take a while to develop but with some established rucks at the club, this will give Toby time to learn and develop his trade,” Wells said. The Cats then selected his Falcons teammate Knevitt with the following pick. Knevitt won the Falcons’ best and fairest this season and represented Vic Country at under-18 level.

He was named in the NAB League team of the year as a midfielder after showing off his speed, endurance and strength for the Falcons. “Mitch has some versatility about him. He’ll spend most of his time in the midfield, and he has the running capability to be a midfielder,” Wells said. The Cats rounded out their list with more midfielders in Willis, Kroeger and Whyte. “Flynn had some injuries, but he has a strong body and is a very tough competitor and he meets a need for us with our midfield developing group,” Wells said. “James had a terrific year at North Adelaide; he had big numbers when he played and was able to kick goals out of the midfield.” The Cats had two selections at the rookie draft, but chose to only use one on Dempsey. “Ollie is an excellent athlete and showed promise as a footballer in his young days,” Wells said. “He has transitioned back to footy, playing with Carey Grammar this year. We will look to continue Ollie’s development as a footballer, and we will be excited to see his progress in years to come.” The Cats still have one open list spot, which could be used to sign a player over the summer.

Geelong Cricket Club’s Vic Super Slam season got off to a thrilling start on Tuesday night, falling by three wickets to Footscray at home. It took a solid innings from Victorian representative Travis Dean to get Footscray over the line in the final over of the T20 game, after the Cats set a solid total of 4-143 after being sent into bat. Hayden Butterworth and captain Josh McDonald got Geelong off to a steady start, regularly finding the boundary as they raced to 42 before Butterworth was dismissed for 19 in the sixth over. The dismissal spurred McDonald on as he raced to 45 from just 31 balls before he was dismissed just after the halfway point of the inning. The run rate slowed after that, but solid batting from Liam Blackford, who made a half century, and Joshua Larkin, who finished 21 not out, saw the Cats set a decent total. Former Geelong quick Jake Reed was the pick of the bowlers for Footscray, taking 1-17 from his four overs. The Cats’ bowling inning got off to a flyer when Lachie Field had Nathan Caulfield caught for a duck off the third ball of the first over, but the wicket brought Dean to the crease. Dean played a strong inning, hitting 90 off just 61 balls to guide Footscray to victory with three balls to spare. The Cats looked like pinching the win late, after the Footscray middle order collapsed and lost five wickets for 19 runs in just 20 balls. A Cats’ win looked possible at 7-127 with just over two overs to go, but Dean made sure of the Footscray win, hitting 15 of the remaining 17 runs needed. Daanish Mehta had the best bowling figures for Geelong, taking 2-15 from 2.3 overs, while young quick Vincent Huf finished with 1-30 from his four overs. Geelong will now travel to Melbourne University next Tuesday for the second round of the T20 competition. Ash Bolt

Close win for Anglesea LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers Saturday was round four in the Tennis Geelong senior competition. At the start of the day Section 4 mixed had only eight points between first and sixth, with the expectation of some close matches and possible ladder moves. Top of the table Anglesea travelled to Teesdale, who were sitting fourth, for the closest match of the round, with gusty wind playing havoc with some of the shot making. The first two mixed sets went one to each club, followed by the men’s and ladies sets also going one to each team, with Anglesea having the advantage by two games. Finally, the reverse mixed sets repeated the fashion with one going to Teesdale and one to Anglesea, with the final score finishing with Anglesea winning the day with three sets 29 games to Teesdale’s three sets 26 games. Grovedale were glad to be playing away

to Centre Court as while everyone else was battling the wind as well as their opposition, the indoor centre provided relief from the elements. As with the first match, the initial sets were split with the Grovedale taking the first 7-5,

then Centre Court the second 6-0. Grovedale’s ladies proved too strong in the doubles taking it 6-3, but Centre Court countered in the men’s with a 6-2 win. Centre Court proved too strong in the final two sets giving the home team their first win for the season after three close losses. The close knit team of Moriac Blue however had a good win at home over Hamlyn Park five sets to one. Mother and daughter Fiona and Emily Blood teamed up with mother Sue and sons Gus and Zac Maibaum to enjoy some family time on the court, and they seem to be enjoying the company and the results, as they now sit in second place only half a point behind Anglesea. The best set for the day went to the mother daughter combination 6-1. Barwon Heads consolidated itself in third place with a 6-0 win over Moriac White, now only three points from top spot. Moriac struggled with the blustery conditions at the Heads, only managing eight games for the day.

Snapper still biting at waterfront ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos The land based snapper fishing is still proving to be super effective over the past week with the Geelong waterfront being yet again one of the hot spots. Wagim Walk is still providing some fantastic fishing with anglers still hauling in fish to over 60cm, bait fishing has been most effective but as the weather warms up it’s well worth throwing some soft plastics around. St Leonards pier has been a hot spot with plenty of reports coming through of anglers landing some good fish. Bait fishing on the rougher days has been most productive, but in saying that, anglers are still getting them on the calm days too. Fresh baits like pilchards, squid and whiting have all been working a treat. As the warmer weather warms up the bay the snapper should hopefully come onto the chew hard. St Helens rocks has had some decent fishing on offer also this past week with reports of both pinky snapper and flathead all making appearances. Andrew Orchard had a crack down there during the week landing some quality flathead over 50 cm. Queenscliff has been another hot spot for the fishing this week with its usual resident fish fishing very well. King George whiting have been chewing very well from the grass beads off Queenscliff all the way up to St Leonards with the ‘White Lady’ proving to be the current hot spot. Anglers fishing the big tides have been having no trouble in boating good numbers of whiting with plenty of fish getting over 40cm. The Point Lonsdale bight has been a prime location for calamari as of late, boats that have found a patch out there have had no problem in finding a bag of squid. Casting big squid jigs has been super effective and so too has handlines with a squid spike, especially if you want one of the big ones that lurk below. Offshore Barwon Heads is still producing bulk amounts of snapper and Gone Fishing Charters is right in the thick of it. Chris (Gone Fishing) and other boats are finding large schools of snapper holding anywhere between 30-45m, heaps of fish around the 1.5kg mark with plenty of fish hitting the deck that are over three kilograms.

Max Murray at the Surf Coast Woolworths Surfer Groms Comp. (Caitie Philpott/Surfing Victoria)

Barrow crowned Groms champion Junior Jan Juc surfer Jarvis Barrow was crowned the under-14 champion at the Woolworths Surfer Groms Comp at Torquay on Sunday. The junior competition, which had been rescheduled from October, saw surfers from eight years old to 14 take to the swells for competition. Barrow kicked off the final for the under-14 boys in style with a 7.50 ride before locking in a 7.00 ride to cap off the win. “It’s awesome to get the win,” he said. Jan Juc’s Jack Lindsay finished second with a heat total of 12.10 points, while Ocean Grove’s Oscar Kerr was fourth on 9.20 points. In the under-14 girls competition, current

state champion Sara Hickson (Mornington Peninsula) was dominant on finals day scoring 17.67 points (out of a possible 20) in her semi-final before backing it up with a 17.17 heat total in the final. Torquay surfer Dune Pruvot finished third with 6.00 points. With their wins, Barrow and Hickson will now head up to northern NSW to attend an all-expenses-paid, three-day Woolworths Surfer Groms Comps National Final Surf Camp, which includes a one-day coaching clinic, two days of competition and heat analysis coaching at the Surfing Australia High Performance Centre.

“I’m stoked to go up to the camp up at the HPC. It should be heaps of fun to surf with all the other winners,” Barrow said. Other local surfers to win their divisions on Sunday included Jan Juc’s Max Murray, who took out the under-eight competition with a score of 16.00 and the under 10 boys with a 16.36, and Mount Duneed’s Kai Coleman, who claimed with under-12 boys title with a 10.10 in the final. The national final, with the under-14 winners of all 10 regional finals held across the country, will take place in Casuarina NSW on December 17. Ash Bolt
