Emerging Business Award:
PROVENIR As the proud sponsor of the Geelong Business Excellence Awards’ Emerging Business category, The Gordon has been helping people gain real skills for more than 130 years. The Emerging Business Award is for newcomers, with less than three years’ operation, that are just starting out but are already making a significant impact. This year, the award goes to Provenir. Founded in 2017, Provenir’s mission is to create Australia’s best beef. With this in mind, Provenir is also fighting for livestock to receive the best treatment possible throughout the entire process. The notion that the best quality beef can only come from livestock raised with the highest welfare standards, Provenir influenced changes to Victorian livestock laws, aiming to prevent stresses caused to animals through long-distance live transportation. Provenir did this by influencing change to the laws requiring animals to be slaughtered at fixed abattoirs - instead, Victoria now permits the operation of Provenir’s innovative mobile abattoir. This has also created a new category of meat known as on-farm processed meat. This process is far more beneficial for all involved, in that

the livestock are prevented from stressful mandatory live transport, for farmers to close the life cycle and provide improved yields, and for consumers to enjoy a paddock to plate experience that is fresher, more ethical and comes straight from the farmer.
Upon its recent move to Avalon Airport, Provenir has launched a commercial kitchen company and a pet food company. “Provenir has disrupted the abattoir industry by not only changing the laws in Victoria but also creating a new category
of meat, better for animals, farmers, and consumers,” the judges said. “They also added the business pet food and commercial kitchen companies, to ensure every part of the animal is utilised demonstrating commitment to sustainable protein.”

The team at Accessible Accommodation experienced this issue first hand, and decided to address the lack of data and the gap in the market. Accessible Accommodation’s three-tiered rating system has been extremely popular with service users, and has also been adopted by the majority of tourism websites. Staying true to its values, Accessible

Accommodation is an avid supporter and campaigner of people with disabilities, through its Facebook group, partnerships with not-for-profit organisations and change.org petitions. Further, Accessible Accommodation employs a variety of staff with different disabilities, ensuring that the service provided is understood by those that provide it. “Accessible Accommodation has worked very hard to ensure that they employ people with lived experience of disability, which means that their customers can be confident their needs are understood,” the judges said. “Through their Access Certification Scheme they have also been building awareness in the broader accommodation sector about the importance of accessibility and inclusion. “In addition they have gone above and beyond their own business to advocate for better access and inclusion in the airline industry.”

DEL RIOS WINERY AND RESTAURANT Open to all Geelong-based businesses operating 10 kilometres or more from the Geelong CBD, the Geelong Business Excellence Awards’ (GBEAs) Regional Business Award is proudly sponsored by Gartland. The winner of this year’s Regional Business Award is del Rios Winery and Restaurant.

Boasting 42 acres of vines at the south-west slope of Mount Anakie, the vineyard is hand pruned and trained. Vertical shoot positioning assists in facilitating airflow, allowing sunlight exposure, and low rainfall reduces disease and chemical spraying.
Fruit is handpicked from the vines prior to processing, with this labour of love resulting in elegant and complex wines, reflecting the true varietal character of the volcanic region. Visitors can enjoy a cellar door experience with both indoor and outdoor dining, with the kitchen showcasing the best local seasonal produce in a contemporary and traditional blend of Spanish food. To top it all off, sit back and enjoy sweeping views of the Brisbane Ranges as you sip your wine and enjoy your meal. “del Rios continued exceptional performance, especially throughout the turbulence caused by the pandemic, can largely be attributed to their clear-eyed understanding of the financial aspects of their operations,” said the judges. “Their willingness to embrace clever and innovative thinking and practices has resulted in more efficient use of the company’s resources, lower operating costs, and improved profitability.”

home-based businesses in the Geelong region,” the judges stated. When many businesses came to a stop during the COVID lockdowns, Jessica managed to keep her business going by constant contact with clients and her make up consultants through online makeup classes via Zoom. “The judges were impressed with her persistence and it is no surprise Jessica has been successful in the 2022 Geelong Business Excellence Awards.”
As the region’s leading health services provider, Barwon Health has long been a supporter of the Geelong Business Excellence Awards, having won a category itself in 2013. Thus, it is only fitting that Barwon Health proudly sponsors the GBEA Health and Wellbeing-Promoting Workplace category for 2022. Open to all businesses that can demonstrate a recognition of and commitment to deliver health and wellbeing workplace initiatives, the winner is Coastyle Building Solutions. Based in Indented Head, Coastyle Building Solutions was established in 2007 by husband and wife team John and Anita Ekberg. A family friendly, community-proactive company, Coastyle gives employment to over 40 trades in the region, all while promoting and contributing to local schools and community groups. Specialising in custom homes, new builds, renovations and extensions,
Coastyle Building Solutions has been taking an active role in the mental health knowledge of its staff. The strong emphasis on teamwork and intra-business support networks at Coastyle is commendable, with the business supporting Geelong and surrounding regions externally through sponsorships, donations and hands-on work in the community. “Coastyle Building Solutions has provided excellence in the area of Health and Wellbeing by investing in training up and developing all their staff across areas of mental health,” said the judges. “Innovation in systems and processes was strongly presented as a key driver across the business, with staff encouraged to find solutions to day-to-day building, product and customer issues, as well as internal business challenges. This all relates back to the strong culture and teamwork that Coastyle Building Solutions live by.”

Medium to Large Business Award:
CUSTOM NEON The winner of the 2022 Geelong Business Excellence Awards’ Medium to Large Business Award, sponsored by EML, is Custom Neon. After purchasing an LED neon sign for their son’s nursery, Jess and Jake Munday shared a bright idea. In what was originally intended to be a maternity leave project, Jess and Jake launched their business idea on Instagram, selling custom LED neon signs for Geelong businesses and events. Thus, Custom Neon was born in May 2018 and has since exploded into the market. Now a permanently flourishing business, Custom Neon has taken the world by storm, growing from a home business based in Jess and Jake’s garage and selling on Instagram, to a prosperous start-up in
Geelong’s Newtown. In 2019, Jess and Jake teamed up with e-commerce veterans Matt and Teresha Aird to fast track Custom Neon’s products to reach beyond existing local and Australian markets. Now with teams established in the United States and United Kingdom, as well as at home in Geelong, Custom Neon has since become the world’s most loved and trusted LED neon sign company. “From a one-person, home-based hobby to empowering their people and growing their business to be a leader in their industry, here and internationally, demonstrates a very solid approach in all criteria fields,” the judges stated. “This has, in turn, delivered them continued product innovation and sales growth.”

Sustainable Business Award:
SCUBABO DIVE VICTORIA The winner of the Sustainable Business Award is Scubabo Dive Victoria. In early 2020, owner and operator of Scubabo Dive Victoria, Joel Howell, stepped into shoes previously worn by Dive Victoria and Queenscliff Dive Centre. The purchase of this recreational scuba business came with risks, including a lack of diversity and the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Joel and the team were able to overcome these challenges, finding that the identification and mitigation of risks faced by previous businesses in the industry was vital in avoiding the same mistakes. Joel’s fresh approach to customer service, as well as the maritime and diving industry as a whole, was popular with locals, tourists and industry professionals alike. The passion that Joel and his team brings to the region is what has kept Scubabo Dive Victoria afloat. “Scubabo Dive Victoria has shown excellence in the area of sustainability the business demonstrated an incredibly environmentally-centred approach, with a belief that you can change the world,” the judges said. “Scubabo Dive Victoria’s innate passion and enthusiasm for this belief extends to include a strategic corporate partnership with SOEL (Southern Ocean Environmental Link), and the extensive production of material to educate and reinforce these concepts within all facets of the business.” As well as providing dive training, tours and equipment hire, Scubabo Dive Victoria
also maintains its research division Scubabo Quantum. This includes work such as environmental services to be carried out
on behalf of the Australian Defence Force and the collection of seaweed to research and maintain sustainable farming.
Diversification also saw Scubabo offer accommodation for tourists, divers and schools.

As part of the ongoing commitment to being the leading healthcare provider for the region, Barwon Health is growing and expanding services to meet the needs of the community.

Barwon Health is constantly working to improve health outcomes for our evolving region, and the recommissioning of the Youang Surgery Centre, formerly Geelong Private Hospital, is another way that it is continuing to deliver services that improve lives and create a healthier community.

Viva is powering into the future Viva Energy is making the biggest investments in the Geelong Refinery since it was built in the 1950s. The large footprint of land in Corio that is home to the refinery is to be developed as a mixed energy gateway for Victoria to be known as the Geelong Energy Hub. In addition to the traditional fuels needed for Australia’s energy security, the Geelong Energy Hub will be a base for new and alternative fuels that will help Viva Energy and its customers transition to a lower carbon future. Viva Energy is partnering with major heavy vehicle companies in Geelong to pioneer the use of green hydrogen to power electric trucks and buses with a hydrogen refueling station in a project planned for opening next year. Meanwhile, Viva Energy has a plan to create a Gas Import Terminal at Refinery Pier that will help address the state’s gas supply challenges. That proposal is currently being considered by the Victorian Government. These exciting projects continue Viva Energy’s record of investing in critically important infrastructure at the refinery – one of just two refineries left in Australia – which supplies around 50 per cent of Victoria’s liquid fuel needs. They also see money flowing to Geelong businesses and represent investments in the more than 700 people who operate and maintain the refinery and its ability to continue to deliver long-term energy solutions.

Height limit for Highton The City of Greater Geelong has adopted an Urban Design Framework for Highton Village, but has backed down on allowing three-andfour-storey developments. Council voted to adopt the UDF at Tuesday night’s monthly meeting, but with some amendments following a spirited question time during which members of the public voiced their concerns over several aspects of the plan. The UDF aims to establish a series of actions to guide the future development of the popular location. Concerns about the original UDF ranged from losing the village’s atmosphere, maximum building heights, less car parks, changes to the
main roundabout and additional pedestrian crossings. The UDF was endorsed with the following changes: • A maximum preferred building height of nine metres on Belle Vue Avenue to protect the character of the Highton Village; • The roundabout on Belle Vue Avenue will be retained; • Access to the clocktower will be retained; • Access to the service road from Belle Vue Avenue and Barrabool Road will be retained; and • There will be no net loss of car parking, with no additional pedestrian crossings.
Highton’s Nardi’s Cellarbrations’ Simon Nardi presented questions to council at the meeting and was concerned about building heights, car parking and access to the main park. “People power has gotten the result the Highton community were after,” he said. “I’m pretty happy with the outcome although still a bit unsure with the potential three-to four-storey building next to ours. That’s still proposed. “All in all Cr (Ron) Nelson pretty much amended all the things that traders were asking for.” More than 150 people attended a rally at
Highton Village on Saturday, October 22 to oppose the UDF. Cr Nelson made the motion to amend the UDF with only mayor Peter Murrihy voting against the proposal. Cr Nelson, said the UDF will retain the village feel of Highton while delivering more greenery, enhanced local shopping experiences, and improvements to safety, parking, and traffic. “It is important that council reflects the views of the community in its decision making and I am glad we have reached this outcome,” he said. “Council has listened and taken on board the concerns and views of residents and this is an appropriate path forward.”

Indigenous name for old basin A new environmental and community place that will replace the disused Bellarine Basin has a new name. Barwon Water’s former Bellarine Basin on the corner of Grubb and Swan Bay roads will be known as ‘Murrk Ngubitj Yarram Yaluk’, meaning ‘head waters of continuous flowing river’ in Wadawurrung language. The former basin, which is no longer used and will be transformed into more than 30 hectares of public open space, sits at the headwaters of Yarram Creek. ‘Yarram’ is a Wadawurrung word meaning ‘continuously flowing’. The name aligns with works, already
underway, to remove the basin and restore the headwaters of Yarram Creek, and is a symbol of Barwon Water’s commitment to work closely with Wadawurrung Traditional Owners on the project. The name was recently agreed upon by the site’s agency advisory group, which includes Wadawurrung Traditional Owners, Barwon Water, Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, Corangamite Catchment Management Authority and City of Greater Geelong. Plans for the site support its cultural and environmental values, and Barwon Water’s commitment to open the land for public use
and recreational purposes. “We are pleased to see a name for this site that reflects Wadawurrung history of use by travellers going east to west to access fresh water,” Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation language officer Stephanie Skinner said. Barwon Water managing director Tracey Slatter said: “Caring for country and protecting the natural assets we all depend upon is becoming increasingly crucial, and we are proud to be taking such responsibility with the Bellarine Basin rehabilitation project. “Works at Murrk Ngubitj Yarram Yaluk – a new space with benefits to the environment
and local community – will be carried out progressively and will involve observing and responding to the environment, to ensure we protect and enhance the ecological values of the site at each stage.” The Victorian government is supporting the project through its Distinctive Areas and Landscapes program for the Bellarine, from which Barwon Water received $650,000 matched funding for the $1.3 million project. Barwon Water will be undertaking further community engagement on the project over the next six months with a concept plan showing the proposed layout and activities for the site to become available soon.

Lincoln Alfred and Mary-Anne Rosevelt have helped bring Geelong’s inaugural Reggae Fest to town. (Ivan Kemp) 305111_07
Caribbean flavour comes to Geelong If you are near Johnstone Park on Saturday and hear the sound of steel drums, it’s coming from the first ever Geelong Reggae Fest. Organisers are expecting anywhere between 500 to 1000 people for the event with festivalgoers flying in from Sydney, Adelaide and Perth. Husband and wife team Damian and Mary-Anne Rosevelt are responsible for bringing the festival to town after Damian arrived from Jamiaca 15 years ago and found there was little Caribbean flavour in the region. “He was surprised that there was not much
Caribbean culture over this part of the world as it is big in the USA, Canada and UK,” Mary-Anne said. “After working very hard Damian was able to bring the food aspect to Geelong through Taste Jamaica, our restaurant on Pakington Street. “ Damian then came up with the idea of bringing the food and music together in a festival setting.” The festival obviously features Caribbean music and food and is a family friendly event. “We hope that people who attend our event will get a snapshot of Caribbean culture and get
a feel for how an event like this would be in that part of the world,” Mary-Anne said. “Many of us can’t go to the Caribbean on a holiday so we thought why not bring a piece of the Caribbean to this beautiful city Geelong.” Food options include the famous jerk chicken, jerk pork ribs, curry goat and Jamaican patties in both vegetarian and nonvegetarian options. The Reggae Fest is on Saturday, October 29 at Johnstone Park from noon to 8.30pm. Details: reggaefestau.com/
The City of Greater Geelong will ask the state government to fund the reconstruction of McAteer’s Bluestone Cottage if it adopts option three of an independent feasability study. The much-loved 1856 cottage was dismantled and stored to make way for the Barwon Heads Road duplication. The study recommended several options for the building, including ‘option three’ to restore it and move it to a suitable location. On Tuesday night, councillors resolved to support further investigations into the cost, potential use, planning and detailed design requirements for option three of the study, which is to relocate the cottage to Marshall Reserve (also known as JF Field Memorial Park). Should Council proceed to construction, it would seek full funding from the state, given its removal was necessitated by the state government’s road upgrade. Save Marshall Bluestone Cottage group has advocated for the cottage to be reconstructed at JF Field Memorial Park on the other side of Barwon Heads Road from its original location. One option for the cottage is to turn it into a tourist information centre while retaining its original structure. Heritage deputy chair, Cr Belinda Moloney, said the worker cottage was of local heritage significance given its role in the development of Marshalltown. “We listened to community group feedback and worked with the Victorian Government to appropriately dismantle and store the heritage cottage,” Cr Moloney said. “We will continue to work with the community group to find an appropriate use for the cottage.”

Council wants to ensure we’re providing access to spaces and services where people need them the most. In recent years, we’ve sought to place more focus on creating community facilities that can be used by a wide range of residents and groups. Whether it be organised sport, regular cultural activities, or passive recreation, we want our facilities to be inclusive and to improve access for as many people as possible. Shared use of places and spaces builds stronger and more diverse communities, improves health outcomes and deepens our social ties. Council this week released draft master plans for two recreation reserves, which have a clear focus on catering to a variety of users. Both Hamlyn Park (Hamlyn Heights) and Myers Reserve (Bell Post Hill) draft master plans are out for public comment, and we are welcoming input from all corners of the community. We want your feedback on priorities identified for the refurbishment of Hamlyn Park, such as the development of fit-for-purpose change rooms to support netball, and the upgrade of other facilities, including the Geelong Ballroom Dance Club building. There are also plans to improve pedestrian safety, linkages throughout the reserve and open space, to cater to more casual users of the reserve. The draft also supports Western Heights College’s aim to develop sporting facilities

Retaining the existing tree canopy and undertaking additional plantings, including a vegetation buffer between the reserve and the Ring Road, is also on the agenda. These projects aim to provide more opportunities for children in formal sport, and less structured recreation, while increasing use of the reserve by all members of the community.

New indoor GRC training track A new 10 metre wide inside grass training track with plastic running rails at Geelong Racing Club is expected to boost the club’s revenue via stable and training fees. The $730,000 project through the Victorian Racing Industry Fund was announced by Racing Minister Anthony Carbines and will replace the existing fibre sand track and a narrower fibre sand track will also be installed between the inside grass track and the course proper. Other investments include a $400,000 super screen to ensure racegoers don’t miss a thing,
‘‘
Better utilising the area inside the track will really boost our facilities and ability to attract trainers
’’
- Peter Murrihy new training and starting gates to improve animal and jockey welfare, upgraded jockey rooms, sand track irrigation, upgrades to the raceday stables and car park upgrades to
improve safety when loading and unloading horse floats. The investments help the racing industry in the Geelong region generate more than $130 million each year for the Victorian economy and sustain more than 1000 jobs. The stables are expected to boost the club’s revenue from stabling and training fees, and the solar panels installed on the roofs of the two stable barns will reduce the club’s power bills. “Geelong is an important training centre for the thoroughbred industry and this
funding will ensure it has the facilities it needs to attract more investment into the state’s second largest city,” Mr Carbines said. Geelong Racing Club president Peter Murrihy said the state government funding was welcome. “We’re rapt the Victorian government is further supporting our club’s development,” he said. “Better utilising the area inside the track will really boost our facilities and ability to attract trainers.”
Ring the church bells Have you ever wanted to ring a belltower in a church? St Paul’s Anglican Church Geelong is holding an open day where volunteers will show you up the stairs and into the ringing room to explain how they make the bells chime. Church warden David Heyes said it’s not just a matter of dropping a switch or tugging on a rope. “It’s an ancient skill and fascinating art that can be learned by young and old,” he said. “If you have ever heard the sound of the bells and wondered about the strange music they create, now is your chance to find out more.” St Paul’s on Latrobe Terrace is the proud owner of the only set of tower bells in Geelong that are designed to be rung in the original English style. They were originally cast at the Whitechapel bell foundry in 1864.
In 1981 after a major public appeal, enough money was raised to return the bells and fittings to the foundry in England for a complete restoration. They have been rung out every Sunday over the city and often for public occasions of rejoicing. The open day is on Sunday, November 6 between 1.30pm and 4pm and members of the public are invited to visit the tower and see the ringers in action and even ring the bell themselves.
Mary and David Heyes are looking forward to seeing guests at the St Paul’s open day. (Ivan Kemp) 305253_02

Youth council wants safe place City of Greater Geelong’s Youth Council has recommended the need for a centrally based integrated youth space for the region’s young people. At Tuesday night’s council meeting, deputy junior mayor Angelle Mackay identified opportunities to improve the health and wellbeing of Greater Geelong young people. The report noted a ‘safe and inclusive’ youth space would address the significant increase in mental health issues and the social impacts COVID-19 has had on young people. The report also noted the group’s activities to date, including participation in Deakin University’s Growing Up in Cities project, attending the Barwon Water Community
Consultation and the Racism, Raw & Real Forum. “Being involved in the feasibility study workshops for future youth hubs and sharing our views on the need for space and design ideas has been very rewarding,” Angelle said. “We feel an integrated youth space in Central Geelong would enable young people to access support services as they need them to safeguard their safety and wellbeing, and we feel the benefits would greatly outweigh the costs of creating such a space. “I also particularly enjoyed the Racism, Raw & Real Forum, where we heard the experiences of a number of First Nations People and culturally and linguistically diverse people who shared their personal
experiences of racism. I would encourage everyone to attend the event in coming years.” In the report, youth councillors also asked council to consider establishing an interim youth space while additional funding is raised for a permanent hub. Youth Council’s fourth and final report to Council will be presented on Tuesday, December 13. Youth Council is made up of 12 young people aged between 12 and 17 years old, with three representatives from each of the four council wards. Nominations for the 2023 Youth Council are open until November 7; for more information and to nominate, see geelongaustralia.com. au/youthcouncil

City suspends road management The City of Greater Geelong will suspend its road management plan for three months while it focuses on repairing flood damaged roads, footpaths and shared paths. There were nearly 500 outstanding requests to fix drainage assets and 300 requests for potholes created by the flooding, with an average of 10 new porthole requests coming in each day. Inspectors are reviewing bridges and waterway channels before restarting road inspections, which is expected to result in a significant increase in work.
‘‘
The team has been working incredibly hard to ensure community safety following these rain events - Kaarina Phyland
’’
The Barwon River peaked at 3.86 metres on October 16, which resulted in severe flooding along the region’s waterways and in isolated
areas of the urban stormwater network, and inundation of the city’s infrastructure. Many footpaths require scraping and cleaning of mud and debris, however resources are being diverted to higher priority clean up works, the City said. Acting chief executive Kaarina Phyland said the Road Management Plan allows for temporary suspensions during natural disasters. “Greater Geelong experienced 50-70mm of rain across the Barwon, Moorabool and Leigh river catchments between
October 12-15, causing widespread damage,” she said. “Other Victorian councils, such as the City of Greater Bendigo, Mitchell Shire and Golden Plains Shire, have also enacted this special clause to suspend their RMPs in light of the recent flood damage. “The team has been working incredibly hard to ensure community safety following these rain events. “The city will continue to make every effort to comply with the RMP, but expects to be challenged by the set timeframes given the situation.”
Fun run back in person Run4Geelong will return as an in-person event on November 13. The Barwon Health Foundation fun run will see participants enjoy some of the region’s most picturesque outlooks while helping to improve local health. The official course will see participants of all ages run or walk a loop taking in the sights of Eastern Beach, the city centre and Geelong Botanic Gardens along the way. Barwon Health Foundation executive director Zoe Waters said it is fitting the course will take crowds past Barwon Health’s University Hospital Geelong where funds can be donated. “As always, 100 per cent of every Run4Geelong registration is donated to Barwon Health Foundation and participants have the option to select which area of the health service they would like to support,” she said. “The event offers all past patients of the health service an opportunity to give back to
those who cared for them. “So often people who have had an experience with our health service are looking for a way to say thank you and this community fundraiser is the perfect chance.” In addition to the 5.5km family walk/run and the 10km run there’s also a 1km kids dash that will start and finish at Richie Boulevard. The event concludes with entertainment and family activities. See run4geelong.com.au for race times and more information.

More Mental Health Services for Greater Geelong Hundreds of Geelong residents will have better access to mental health support, with the Andrew Government opening a new mental health facility in North Geelong, easing pressure on the health system. The new 16-bed acute mental health facility at Barwon Health’s McKellar Centre will support an extra 355 Victorians each year. The facility includes inpatient acute mental health services and community-based care in a contemporary and safe hospital setting, easing pressure on University Hospital Geelong’s emergency department. The VIctorian Government’s also investing $16 million to deliver a Mental Health and Drug and Alcohol Services Community Hub in central Geelong.
We’re also establishing a dedicated inpatient youth mental health service, catering specifically for young people aged 16-25. The site will be one of five across the state and is expected to reduce pressure on hospital beds by providing early intervention care and an alternative to hospital admission with recovery focused treatment. The youth beds are currently under construction. We know our mental health system needs to care for every Victorian who needs it. We’re not wasting a moment in delivering the Royal Commission’s recommendations – because lives depend on it.
The five-storey hub on Moorabool Street will provide greater access to treatment and support services for members of the community experiencing mental-ill health and addiction.

Geelong rolls out Spirit welcome The Spirit of Tasmania made its maiden voyage to Geelong quay last Sunday morning, signalling a new era of crossing Bass Strait. The Spirit’s final voyage from Station Pier, Port Melbourne crossed Bass Strait on Saturday night and Sunday morning, with the return service sailing into Geelong about 8am Sunday. Spirit of Tasmania chairman Michael Grainger said the arrival marked the start of a new era in Bass Strait passenger, passenger vehicle and freight transport. “The company has been very much looking forward to moving to Geelong from Station
Pier, Port Melbourne since the decision to relocate our Victorian operations was first made,” he said at the opening. “Equally, the company has been very pleased to see up close the progress on construction since site preparation works began in 2020 for the new passenger and freight terminal which was officially opened today.” Mr Grainger said he and his Spirit of Tasmania colleagues had enjoyed seeing the precinct evolve in the lead up to the first official arrival and thanked GeelongPort and the countless number of contractors who
contributed to the project’s success. “Beyond the excellent work undertaken on the project by both the Spirit of Tasmania and GeelongPort project teams, our first arrival into Geelong did not disappoint,” he said. “The move to Geelong represents a once in a generation opportunity for Spirit of Tasmania to further enhance the experience of our passengers.” City of Greater Geelong mayor Peter Murrihy said the Spirit’s arrival will be a boost for the region’s economy. “It is a signal, to visitors and operators,
that we’re a strong port city and an on-water destination of choice,” he said. “With about 450,000 passengers expected to use the service each year, the benefits for the Geelong region are enormous. “Our tourism, accommodation, and hospitality sectors are all licking their lips at the prospect of thousands of new visitors each week. “The influx will not only support existing markets, but also open up new opportunities.”
On the trail of good art Art studios, collectives and galleries will throw open their doors this weekend for what is expected to be the biggest Bellarine Arts Trail event yet. After a two-year pandemic-enforced hiatus, Barwon Heads Arts Council (BHAC) is presenting the arts trail that will comprise 32 venues across Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads, Point Lonsdale and Queenscliff and more than 60 artists in their studios or group venues. The two-day event, on October 29 and 30, features local artistic talent including painters, sculptors, photographers, illustrators, glass blowers, textile artists and more. Bellarine Arts Trail coordinator Kaz Shirley said there could be thousands who attend the arts trail. “We’re very excited that it’s back on and if have sunny weather, we could be inundated,” she said. “We’re hoping for lots of locals and visitors and there could well be 3000 to 5000. “It’s hard to count the numbers because of
the very nature of the event that people go to more than one venue, but in the past we have had very good estimates. It could go off.” The trail gives visitors the opportunity to talk with artists who make the local art scene tick, admire and purchase their artwork. A highlight this year is the inclusion of the newly built and opened Barwon Heads Arts & Community Hub. The hub will host a group exhibition of all participating artists over a nine-day period from October 22 to 30 from noon to 4pm. The exhibition, titled ‘A Taste of the Trail’, will allow trailgoers to get a sneak peak of the artists’ work across the 32 venues. “You can see a piece from each person, get the trail map and plan your weekend,” Ms Shirley said. “I can’t believe the depth of talent we’ve got around here. We’re still finding new talent and still being approached by talent that have been living here.” Go to //bhac.org.au/ for more information.

Safe refuge for women and kids The Barwon region has a new Women’s Family Violence Refuge, the Sexual Assault & Family Violence Centre (The SAFV Centre) announced this week. The purpose-built multi-unit crisis accommodation facility for women and children who are at high risk of further and immediate harm from family violence is a safe place to stay as they re-establish their lives and move through their journey toward recovery from family violence, in a safe, supported, calm and welcoming space. The location of the refuge was not released
due to the privacy and safety of clients and staff. The SAFV chief executive Centre Helen Bolton said the refuge aims to provide a welcoming, respectful and dignified accommodation to those that need it most in our community. “We have a long and proud history in providing communal style refuge services to the community, with our first refuge established in 1985, and since then we have provided many women and children with high security accommodation, advocacy and support,” she said. “We are now officially open
and welcoming women and children. Referrals to our refuge come through from Victoria’s family violence referral service, Safe Steps, and women and children may be seeking refuge from anywhere across Victoria.” The refuge offers six self-contained units, with a mix of one, two and three bedroom units and all units offer disability access, with one unit specifically designed as an Accessibility Unit. The refuge is staffed 24-7. “This new model of refuge offers women and children privacy and independence, rather than the former model of women sharing a
communal house,” Ms Bolton said. “Parenting through family violence can, at times, be difficult and overwhelming, even more so when you have to relocate. Individual units allow women the space, security and privacy they need to respond to their child’s safety and emotional recovery following trauma.” If you or someone you know needs support, contact reception@safvcentre.org.au or telephone on 5222 4318 for Barwon support. For support after hours, contact safe steps (24 hours) on 1800 015 188 or the Sexual Assault Crisis Line (24 hours) on 1800 806 292.
‘Adele’ comes to town Ocean Grover Michelle Morrison has created an Adele experience so realistic that fans sometimes forget they aren’t listening or watching the real thing. Adele is one of the world’s best-selling music artists, with sales of over 120 million records, 15 Grammy Awards, 12 Brit Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, and a huge accolade, the best-selling womens album artist of the century. Michelle recreates the Adele experience with her show and is bringing it to Queenscliff’s 360Q on November 26. “I have modelled myself on Adele’s dramatic new look,” she says. “She has a big voice that’s me very strong vocally.” Another feature of this musical extravaganza is a significant number of very talented musicians will join Michelle on stage including backing vocalists Julienne Sacris and Justine May, Michael Yanko on keyboard, lead guitarist
Simon Towers, bass guitarist Michael Smedley and drummer Carlin Towers. As the voice of the Adele Show, Michelle’s extensive background in the live music scene has ranged from fronting corporate acts at leading venues to sessional, band, trio, and duo performances with some of Melbourne’s finest and most sought-after musicians. Michelle’s mesmerising voice, grace, and confidence make her a perfect fit to bring the songs of Adele to life. The ticket price for the Adele tribute event is $120 per person, which includes show, a three-course gourmet meal and free-flowing house beer, wine, and soft drinks and $10 from each ticket will be donated to Point Lonsdale View Club to help disadvantaged kids.

FRIDAY FEATURE
From addict to senior treasure Rob Lytzki has been nominated for this year’s Victorian Senior Australian of the Year for his work with drug and alcohol rehabilitation. He speaks to Justin Flynn about his journey from drug addict to Foundation 61 founder.
R
ob Lytzki was an alcoholic at 15. From there he progressed to speed and heroin and was in a downward spiral for decades. The Victorian Senior Australian of the Year nominee never thought it was he who had the problem. “Until I was 40 I didn’t even think I had a problem,” the now 65-year-old says. “Everyone else had the problem. I battled through life pissed and stoned.” Then one day Rob decided enough was enough.
‘‘
I started facing the demons within rather than facing the addiction itself - Rob Lytzki
’’
He had tried abstinence several times, but the first steps towards a proper recovery began with reaching out. “I started facing the demons within rather than facing the addiction itself,” he says. “It was dealing with my inner turmoil if you like. That’s what started me down the road (to recovery) and I looked around and realised that all the people around me were drug addicts and alcoholics.” Rob received counselling, volunteered at a rehab centre and started Foundation 61, a not-for-profit residential rehabilitation centre in 2005. From a three-bed facility came expansion and a 15-bed place for men in Mount Duneed.

An eight-bed women’s facility is under construction and is expected to open early next year. “Every now and then we get our heartaches but by and large we’re doing very well,” Rob says.
“We’ve had women’s groups all along but we haven’t had a house for them. We hope to have that finished and opened early next year. It’s been a six-year battle with bureaucracy.” There is no ‘typical’ type of person that asks for help from Foundation 61.
“We do have the stereotypes that most people have the view of – broken families, low socio economic demographic – but we’ve had people with multiple degrees, headmasters, quite a few of the white collars in,” he says. “There’s no race, colour or creed. It’s for people who try to outrun their brokenness or numb themselves out just to get from day to day. Everybody is susceptible to it.” Rob says reaching out is often the most difficult part of recovery. “Reach out and get someone to support you and walk the road with you to recovery,” he says. “Don’t try and do it on your own. We’ve seen hundreds and hundreds get free of it but it does take courage to turn and fight, especially after long term addiction. A lot of people have very little self worth left.” Many former residents return to volunteer. “One of key support workers was in the program three times before the penny dropped and now he’s one of our most valued support workers,” Rob says. “We’re always looking for volunteers. Especially once we start the women’s up we’re going to need a whole new team. “Overnight staff, support workers, people to run groups, people to take to appointments. We’ll find out their best fit.” Foundation 61 is entirely funded by donations. Give Where You Live, Geelong Community Foundation and private individuals have been very forthcoming with funds, but it’s a constant battle. “We wouldn’t be able to afford to keep doing what we’re doing without them,” Rob says.

Digging for good yarns Geelong Regional Libraries and Bellarine Community Health (BCH) are teaming up for an innovative new nature-based program aimed to introduce preschool children to story times in a garden setting. The ‘Little Growers: Story time in the Garden’ project hopes to plant a seed within families that fosters an ongoing connection to community gardens and their local public library. It is a nature-based storytelling program, with stories, songs, and a hands-on garden activity. “By providing story times within community gardens, families can come together in a safe outdoor space, get hands-on in the garden, and find out about the places in their community where they can access free local and sustainable food,” BCH health planner Laura Boehm said. The BCH Healthy and Connected Communities team is delivering Little Growers as part of their Bellarine Youth Agents of Change environmental leadership program, which includes a suite of local initiatives that takes a whole-of-community approach to increasing healthy eating and climate resilience on the Bellarine. The BCH Youth Guerrilla Garden in Ocean Grove, where the first of the Little Growers sessions was held this week, is another of BCH’s Bellarine Youth Agents of Change initiative. Regular gardening workshops and working bees are hosted in the youth garden for Bellarine young people aged 12 to 18. Geelong Regional Libraries chief executive Vanessa Schernickau said Little Growers is a wonderful collaborative project. “We’re thrilled to partner with Bellarine Community Health on this project,“ she said. “What a great opportunity to promote

and Children’s and youth librarian at Ocean Grove Library celebrate so many elements of wellbeing – from healthy eating, growing your own veggies, storytelling and fostering a love
of reading and connecting with your local community.” The next Little Growers is on November 9 from 11am to 11.45am at Youth Guerrilla
Cops to target drink driving Licensed venues on the Surf Coast will face increased police presence in a bid to reduce road trauma associated with impaired driving. Highway Patrol officers will have a highly visible presence on roads close to licenced venues in the region, including Jan Juc and Torquay, conducting roadside alcohol and drug tests. Uniform officers will also maintain a presence in and around pubs and clubs to ensure liquor licencing compliance. The operation will take place every Friday and Saturday night, continuing throughout the busy summer holiday period. “Police want everyone to enjoy the beautiful Surf Coast this year, but we are urging people to celebrate the summer period in a safe and responsible manner,” Surf Coast Local Area Commander Monique Leffanue. “If you choose to drink too much and drive, you will be caught. We will not hesitate to remove drink drivers from the road – even those only the slightest bit over. “First time offenders who go even a little bit over the legal drinking limit face significant penalties, including fines, loss of license and disqualification – but the worst penalty of all is the potential catastrophic loss of life on our roads.” Last Friday night alone, Surf Coast police said they intercepted four drivers allegedly over the legal drinking limit, and two drivers allegedly under the influence of illicit drugs, in the space of a couple of hours in the Surf Coast region.

It’s totally understandable to feel compelled to stick a finger in each ear and chant “La, la, la, la!” when someone informs you about the latest headlines from the US. The saying “only in America” – often said with an obvious roll of the eyes – is rightfully bandied about when faced with political news and developments from the States. Mercifully, this humour-laden current affairs show sticks to the important facts, with a little quirkiness to sweeten the dispatch. With a week before the midterm elections, hosts Chas Licciardello and John Barron deliver their unique take on US politics. Can the Democrats hold their majority and will Trump rear his tanned head?

Consultation for parks now open Community members can have their say after the City of Greater Geelong endorsed the release of draft master plans for Hamlyn Park Recreation Reserve and Myers Reserve. The plan for Hamlyn Park includes developing netball change rooms and upgrading existing sporting facilities, including the Geelong Ballroom Dance Club building. The draft master plan aims to improve pedestrian safety, linkages throughout the reserve and open space to provide greater passive recreation opportunities within the Hamlyn Park Recreation Reserve precinct.
The plan also supports initiatives from Western Heights College to develop sporting facilities that will provide greater participation opportunities for the community. The Myers Reserve master plan involves relocating the netball courts and bowls greens, refurbishing the existing pavilion and new facilities for soccer and bowls and additional sporting fields. Several stages of the Hamlyn Park master planning process have been completed, including a site and needs analysis, issues and opportunities report, and initial community engagement, which have all contributed to
the development of the draft plan. Myers Reserve will be enhanced by retaining the existing tree canopy and undertaking additional plantings, including a vegetation buffer between the reserve and the ring road. Several stages of the Myers Reserve master planning process have already been completed, including a site and needs analysis, issues and opportunities report engagement that has resulted in the development of the draft Myers Reserve Master Plan. City of Greater Geelong mayor Peter Murrihy said it was important to gather
feedback from the community for both master plans. “As a council we want to continue providing more quality spaces that support active lifestyles,” he said. “This includes supporting the growth of localised and regional sporting facilities, delivering accessible and attractive community infrastructure, and providing fit for purpose sport and recreation facilities.” Public consultation for Myers Park will be open until December 6 and until December 9 for Hamlyn Park via the city’s have Your Say portal on its website.
Funding for new gallery A $2 million state government project will deliver a new art gallery and events space on the Bellarine Peninsula. The project, to be built at Oakdene Vineyards, will be delivered via the Labor government’s Regional Tourism Investment Fund and will feature momre than 100 Indigenous art pieces and sculptures from the private collection of the vineyard’s owners, Bernard and Elizabeth Hooley. The state-of-the-art public gallery will offer free admission to visitors and is expected to be a significant drawcard for the region. It will include a restaurant and events space with a new tasting room to cater for all occasions. The gallery will be in addition to Oakdene’s Grubb Road winery. The project will generate up to 12 jobs during construction and up to 26 ongoing positions once completed in 2024. “We are grateful for the government’s trust
and investment into our winery, and we are very excited to open this new experience on the Bellarine Peninsula,” Bernard and Elizabeth Hooley said. The announcement was made by Bellarine MP Lisa Neville and Tourism, Sport and Major Events Minister Steve Dimopoulos. “This incredible development will attract more people to the Bellarine Peninsula and encourage them to stay longer, helping support local businesses and jobs,” Mr Dimopoulos said on Monday. Tourism Greater Geelong and the Bellarine executive director Brett Ince said the project would be a feather in the cap of tourism on the peninsula. “This development will further enhance Greater Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula’s growing arts and food and wine scene, which will encourage more overnight stays and day trips to this beautiful region,” he said.

APPLICATION TO ALTER AUTHORISED ROUTE OF PIPELINE LICENCE 57 Notice Under Section 68 of the Pipelines Act 2005 AusNet Gas Services Pty Ltd ABN 43 086 015 036 as the holder of Pipeline Licence 57 propose to alter the authorised route of the pipeline by relocating a section of pipeline at Buckley Gr, Moolap. Melways Ref. 453 G8. The Buckley Grove Field Regulator is at the end of the Licence 57 pipeline in Point Henry. Development in the east of the network in the Bellarine Peninsula has placed significant strain on this part of the gas network. The scope of this project is to increase the capacity of the gas network serviced by the field regulator at Buckley Grove, Moolap, Geelong. To facilitate this gas capacity upgrade, the following work is required to be undertaken. The route of the alteration begins commences on the North East side of Point Henry Rd. An extension of the PL57 will cross Point Henry Rd where the proposed route will run south west and tie back into the new regulator pit, which will be installed adjacent to the existing pit located in the road reserve outside a Boral asphalt plant. For further information please contact Ali Shariat, AusNet Services 308 Hyde Street, Yarraville Victoria 3013 Australia E: ali.shariat@ausnetservices.com.au

YOUR SAY Sticky suggestion If protesters glue themselves to walls, they should just be left there – then it won’t seem to be such a smart idea. MKS, Anglesea
Uncertain future PM Anthony Albanese is closing in on six months and the honeymoon period rolls on. However his Voice To Parliament Referendum is not going to end well. We’ve got close to a trillion dollars of debt, yet no genuine tax reform (eg 20 percent GST excluding hikes to food and energy bills etc). The renewables policy, with no base-load power surety component, and the NDIS are both serious open ended taxpayer money munchers. Then there’s the likelihood of global recession heading into 2023. The PM is beholden to the unions so it would be unwise to expect a flood of visas for backpackers, other seasonal workers, doctors, engineers, teachers, nurses etc. An incumbent who remains a pliable chair to his ALP premier colleagues at National Cabinet. And now there’s an assertive and pumped up (for an unprecedented third term) President Xi Jinping and his CCP within the Indo-Pacific-Taiwan reunification implications and ongoing cyber coercion to deal with. Once the proverbial starts to hit the fan, despite the ABC’s unbridled advocacy Albo who is a decent bloke - will be moved sideways. On that note. Interestingly, Corio MP Richard Marles (24/7 carries two titles). Deputy PM and Minister For Defence. Richard Worland, Manifold Heights

Credit code Gary Oraniuk (Your Say, 21/10) can relax. All loan contracts are covered by the Uniform Credit Code which makes dispute resolution and binding arbitration mandatory. And thanks Gary for the opportunity to help. It was indeed a pleasure Kevin V Russell, Geelong
We need coal The decision by Premier Andrews to bring back the State Electricity Commission (SEC) has some merit. However, proposing to close all coal fired power stations by 2035 is a very bad decision. Given that Australia is going to import around 200,000 people into the country each year, the demand for power will certainly increase. As things stand, the Andrews government has invested tens of billions of dollars into renewables and despite this Victoria is running dangerously low of baseload despatchable power. When is the Premier going to wake up to the fact that renewables can only supply intermittent power, even with battery storage? However coal fired power stations can supply base-load power 24-7.
Whether people like it or not, Victoria, like the rest of the country, needs the base-load power supplied by fossil fuels to keep the lights on. It’s time rationality and common sense were put back on the table instead of politicians putting forward populist green energy proposals which sound good but will prove to be a disaster further down the track. If Victoria wants to maintain its present standard of living and adequate power for industry, then it needs to be building another Hazelwood coal fired power station to head-off the looming power shortages, unless the Andrews government changes direction. The big problem is that this state is sleep walking into a serious power crisis that politicians can’t see coming. Alan Barron, Grovedale
A woman in the distance was heading towards the walkway and appeared to be known to the driver was humorously jogging towards the walkway and proceeded to cross with both the pedestrian and driver laughing with amusement. Eight to 10 metres in front of the raised walkway, a senior gentleman had noted that the four wheel drive was stationery and safely began to cross the carpark laneway to the carpark pathway on the other side. Before he knew what was happening, the driver of the 4WD had broken the speed limit of the carpark to speed past him dangerously and yelled out “crossing right there!” referring to the raised walkway, which is not a pedestrian crossing but a provision for wheeled contraptions that cannot negotiate gutters. The driver continued to speed around a blind carpark corner only to stop at a legal stop sign metres away. Carparks are areas shared by cars and pedestrians at all times. Pedestrians have right of way at all times. I was able to note the driver’s car number plate and another passerby took photographs. I checked that the senior gentleman was okay and told him I would be a witness for the gross intimidation and carpark rage that he had been subjected to. Other bystanders offered the same. We are seeking CCTV video and will submit to the police for follow up. Bruce D Watson, Clifton Springs
Pedestrian danger I watched the following incident unfold at Leopold Plaza carpark on October 11 with disbelief. A huge grey 4WDe sedan driven by a grey-haired woman stopped at the raised walkway near the pharmacy provided for wheelchairs, trolleys, prams etc with no one present on the walkway.

ENVIRONMENT
The far north is a haven for birds I had a marvellous time in the wonderful tropical paradise of Cairns. I counted 139 species of birds seen, including 21 new species for me, which happily took my Australian bird list to over 500 species. The highlights were seeing a flock of sarus cranes (which look very much like brolgas, but they have more of the red plumage colouring on the head and neck), and a trip to Michaelmas Cay where I saw black noddies, brown boobies, sooty terns and a massive great frigatebird. I had a lovely walk around the farm in Wallington where I conduct a bird count for the Birdlife Australia ‘birds on farms project’ four times a year, during every season. I was very sorry to hear that Bob, the owner of the farm, had passed away in August. Bob was passionate about the environment, and he planted many trees on his farm to provide habitats for birds to thrive in. Bob will be sadly missed. While walking around Bob’s farm I saw two shining-bronze cuckoos, three swamp harriers, a family of black swans, weebills, striated pardalotes, dusky woodswallows and a flock of cattle egrets. I received an email from Andrew with a lovely image of a New Holland honeyeater feeding on a grass tree flower spike in the Ocean Grove Nature Reserve. New Holland honeyeaters are the most common honeyeater seen around the Bellarine, and they are so photogenic. I also received an email from Nicole who has recently returned to Australia after living in the

USA for 30 years. Nicole described herself as an avid beginner birder and her 157th Australian bird was a migratory shorebird, namely a ear-tailed godwit at blue rocks beach (at the west the end of 13th Beach). Nicole found a pretty cool bird to be her 157th. Godwits used to roost on the Barwon River Estuary at the end of Lelean Street in Ocean Grove for years but have not done so for around 10 years. I received an email from wonderful birder Robin, who photographed a pair of pied oystercatchers in front of her house, and she reported the flag on one of the birds (C2).
She was informed that this bird was tagged at Westernport and is now 19 years of age. I received an email from Carole, who is an integral member of the Bellarine Birdlife Group. This group has just been in Cohuna on the Murray River. The group explored bushland, Friends of Cohuna Indigenous Plants Garden and Kow Swamp, as well as farmland. The caravan park at Cohuna was also favourable for exploring as there were waders, water birds, raptors and smaller birds. Carole and the Bellarine Bird group also went to 13th Beach with wonderful Amelia Formby (Milly), who is flying an ultralight aircraft around Australia to raise awareness of
the plight of migratory shorebirds. Milly is a pilot, zoologist and illustrator and has a website which can be found at wingthreads.com. She also has written a Children’s book ‘Wing Threads A Shorebird Flying Adventure’. They managed to see some migratory birds (although a limited number due to being a Saturday and the public wandering around the beach) including two Pacific golden plovers, the one bar-tailed godwit and 15 red-necked stints. Carole has photographed the golden plovers at 13th Beach before and wondered if they are the same ones who return each year.

MOTOR
Suzuki gets a grip with S-Cross By Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring In pre-politically correct times ‘The man in the street’ was a term used to describe the ordinary male (person). In 2006 I was in Japan watching early SX4 vehicles roll off the assembly lines at Suzuki’s Hamamatsu plant, noting its bland physical characteristics. This MITS manner was reinforced on an extended drive of the small sports utility vehicle on the company’s test track, with its performance providing an uninspiring driving experience. Little has changed over the years, with the SX4 generally flying under the automotive radar, while its siblings – Jimny, Swift and Vitara - led the way in design and innovation. The latest S-Cross could be about to change the order of things. The second generation SX4 in 2013 took on the S-Cross suffix and an optional all-wheel drive system named AllGrip. It has four selectable driving modes – Normal, Sport, Snow and Lock. Following a facelift in 2016, the third generation first saw the light of day in 2021, and has now been given a makeover for the model year 2023, in the form of a freshened cabin and restyled exterior, plus new technology. The 1.4 litre turbocharged petrol engine stays pretty much the same but now puts its power to ground through a new AllGrip all-wheel drive system. There is a price to pay - $40,490, plus on-road costs, $10,000 more than the base figure. A Prestige model, with even more goodies, tips the scales at $44,490. I enjoyed time with the latter.
Styling Updated S-Cross styling retains the somewhat angular look of days gone by, while most
ride and handling package were good enough to throw the S-Cross assuredly around on corners, while feather-light steering pointed the nose in the desired direction and slow-speed parking in tight spots was low on trepidation. A claimed combined urban / highway fuel consumption figure of 6.2 litres per 100 kilometres translated in test car terms to 8 litres per 100 kilometres in city traffic and 5 litres per 100 kilometres on the open road. Not too much of a financial burden on the recommended 95 RON juice. Getting to grips with a wide range of conditions under foot, the car’s multi-mode all-wheel-drive system offers Normal, Sport, Snow and Lock stages, running predominantly from the front wheels in Normal to 66:33 split in Snow.
Exterior design upgrades announce the arrival of the Suzuki S-Cross AllGrip. (Supplied)
modern rivals show off slick coupe-like looks. Included here are a new front and back, doors, bumpers and lighting. Up front the two-storey grille is dominated by the stylised Suzuki ‘S’ and leaves oncoming drivers in no doubt as to the car’s pedigree. A sleeker bonnet, black diamond lattice grille and redesigned automatic LED headlights have the SUV standing tall, while square wheel arches wrapping polished alloy and silver highlights on the bumpers make for a more robust profile than before.
Infotainment A 9-inch touchscreen is a step up from the 7-inch system in the base model. A clear colour display supports factory-fitted satellite navigation, camera with all-round view and digital radio info. Apple CarPlay customers enjoy wireless communication, while Android Auto folk have to make do with wired connectivity.
Engines / transmissions Lift the bonnet. There’s nothing (new) to see here. Those familiar with the previous model will recognise the engine, a 1.4 litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol motor producing 103 kW and 220 Nm, mated with a six-speed torque converter automatic transmission, now taking in the new Suzuki all-wheel drive system, AllGrip.
Safety Standard safety comes with autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning, driver fatigue monitoring, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, front and rear parking sensors.
Driving The featherweight BoosterJet engine has a spring in its step, with plenty of low-down torque and a well-matched torque-converter auto. Plastic paddle shifts are best ignored. However, the spicy motor and well-sorted
Summary The S-Cross is far from my favourite Suzuki, with the aforementioned Jimny, Swift and Vitara, atop the podium positions. However, with the spritely performance of the latest generation, the S-Cross is making a gallant effort to grab the attention of people like me. It’s beginning to work. Note that Suzuki Queensland is a separate entity to Suzuki in the rest of Australia, but it’s expected that the two entities will be very much the same. If you’re in another State or Territory and considering buying a Suzuki we suggest you talk to the dealer of your choice about the new model. The 2022 S-Cross is being released in Queensland with two specification lines: GL-Plus and GLX with the GLX also having the option of a sunroof. The model names elsewhere are All Grip and All Grip Premium respectively with the latter having the sunroof as standard.

Key trio re-sign with the Cats for ‘23 Veteran Geelong trio Tom Hawkins, Isaac Smith and Zach Tuohy have all signed one-year contract extensions with the AFL premiers. And fellow flag-winners Tom Atkins and Zach Guthrie have inked fresh two-year deals with the Cats. Geelong announced the re-signing of Hawkins, 34, Smith, 33, Tuohy, 32, Atkins, 27, and Guthrie, 24, on Monday. “We are thrilled that all five of these players have re-committed,” Geelong’s football manager Simon Lloyd said in a statement. “Players like Tom Atkins and Zach Guthrie are key pillars of our medium to long-term future. “Zach (Tuohy) and Isaac, among a long list of players at our club, are key reasons why we have been able to achieve what we have this year.
“Both are experienced big-game players … and they drive standards across the club. “Hawk has achieved so much in his career over such a long period of time and it’s a tribute to his hard work and dedication that he continues to get better ea ch and every year he plays the game.” Hawkins, a 327-gamer who was this year’s All Australian captain, will play on for a 17th AFL season while Irishman Tuohy will play his 13th. Smith, who has played 48 games for the Cats since moving from Hawthorn for a 258-game career total, is a four-time premiership player and won the Norm Smith Medal for best-afield in Geelong’s 81-point thrashing of Sydney in this year’s grand final. – AAP

Moolap takes the title LOCAL TENNIS Tyler Krumholz Tennis Geelong Triples Spring Season 1 drew to a close with some dominant performances and thrilling finishes in the grand finals on Thursday October 20. Section 1 saw Moolap Two Phones Chol taking on Highton’s Top Blokes. Moolap won the autumn season Section 2 title and gained a steady number one player in its move up to Section 1 in Callum Davey. The acquisition paid off with a dominant regular season and first round of finals, only losing two sets along the way. However, those two sets had come in week one in a rain-shortened match against Highton, the runners-up in Section 1 Autumn. Two Phones Chol never let the Top Blokes into the match. After four sets, Highton had only won seven games and the rout was on. Highton played for pride in the last two sets and was competitive, but Moolap won 6-0 36-15. Moolap Goats were favourites heading into the Section 2 decider against newcomers Western Heights Uniting. Moolap secured the Section 3 title in the Autumn Triples season and only dropped four sets throughout the Spring 1 regular season. However, Western Heights was not going to be an easy out with top player Jeff Smith leading the way. Smith turned in a strong performance, winning two of his three sets against Moolap’s number one Kyle Beattie, including a 6-2 singles win. However, Moolap’s Mick Kotwic only dropped five games in three sets, propelling the Goats to a 4-2 29-19 win. Grovedale 2 won both regular season matchups against the Winks Wizards, but both sides had been very competitive. The Section 3 grand final matchup proved to live up to that billing. Grovedale was missing its number one Matt Francis, but found a strong reserve player in Matt Lyon. Grovedale’s Jarrod Bateup took a 6-3 win in the first singles, but the Wizards won the next three sets, including both the first two doubles rubbers and a 6-0 singles win by Rohan White. Lyon took the last singles 6-0, but it wasn’t quite enough to overcome the doubles dominance of the Wizards in a 4-2 27-23 victory. The closest battle of the evening came in Section 4, where a rematch of the Summer Section 4 grand final took place between Coco Bewares and Table 29 Tennis Association. In the matchup from March, Table 29 didn’t have number one Thomas Crosbie, and Coco Bewares won their first premiership. This time around Crosbie was available and it promised to make the match a near-coinflip. The first four sets were split, with Coco Bewares’ Daniel Fraser and captain Brad Walker dominant with 6-1 singles wins, but 26 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 28 October, 2022
Section 4 premiers Coco Bewares: Tony Bongiorno, Daniel Fraser and Bradley Walker.
Section 3 champions Winks Wizards: Kien Wong, Boon Kweh and Rohan White.
Table 29 won both doubles in strong fashion. Down three games going into the last two sets, Table 29 needed a big win from Crosbie in singles. He delivered with a 6-2 set, but it was not quite enough as Coco Bewares won the doubles 6-3, and the night 3-3 25-23. Moolap finished top of the ladder in Section 5, with Other Guys playing host to the Hall of Framers. The Other Guys had just played Hall
Bream reports promising
(Supplied)
Big bream have been in hot form down at Lakers Cutting this week with anglers landing some fantastic fish from the shore. Fish to over 45cm have been taken and in pretty good numbers. Berkley Powerbait Nemisis 3inch in camo and cappuccino have proved to be lethal at the moment and Berkley 50mm Shimma Shrimps have also been working well. To give anglers the extra edge rubbing gulp scent on lures has been helping get those extra bites. If lures aren’t your thing then using unweighted live scrub worms or freshwater yabbies are insane baits to run - bream can’t resist. Inside the bay the snapper reports are still coming through with the season starting to really take form with anglers landing some cracking fish. The outer harbour towards Portarlington has definitely been one of the major hot spots as well as the bend of the channel out front of Clifton Springs. Fishing on a tide change has been proving the point of difference with most reports of captures coming an hour or so either side of the tide change. Pilchards, squid and silver whiting have all been productive baits. Clifton Springs right through to Queenscliff has still been fishing very well for calamari with reports coming in nearly daily with boats and anglers having great success. Clifton Springs seems to be much more consistent whereas Queenscliff seems to have the big ones so take your pick to what you would rather target. Majorcraft Jigs have been a hot favourite this past week with purple coloured jigs working very well. The bottom fish offshore Barwon Heads is showing no sign of slowing down wht anglers managing to find a small window in the weather have been heading out and getting stuck into gummy sharks to over 15kg and snapper to 6kg. Either on anchor or drifting the 60 metre line has been very productive. Portland has had a hot little barrel tuna bite down there over the past week with reports of fish to over 100kg being taken on skirted lures just off Cape Nelson. The weather over the weekend doesn’t look to great but if it clears up next week it is definitely worth the drive down if you’re itching to get one more run before the season’s end.

The first two sets of the grand final rematch were close, with 6-5 and 6-3 wins to Moolap. The momentum continued to build however, and Moolap closed strongly, finishing with a 6-0 36-15 premiership in its first season of Triples competition.

Grovers claim a double win

Jan Juc’s Fox wins tradies challenge Jan Juc surfer Cole Fox put on a show at URBNSURF at the weekend displaying a strong backhand attack in the open men’s final of the WorkSafe Tradies Challenge. The competition was tight all day with the adjusted leaderboard format forcing each surfer to go big from the start in order to come out on top over the field. Adapting to this new format in style was Codie Jeffery (Cape Woolamai) and Harry de Roth (Phillip Island) who put on an impressive display of surfing. However, Fox walked away with the win in the open men’s division, posting an excellent score of 9.07 and 7.97 (each out of a possible 10) for a string of powerful backhand snaps on the long running perfect rights of the wave pool.
The win earned him a Milwaukee radio. “I’m stoked to win the event but even more stoked to win the radio,” Fox said. “It’s gonna come in handy on the worksite and at kick-ons.” Placing second was Codie Jeffery (Cape Woolamai) on a 16.70 point total (out of a possible 20 points) and Harry de Roth (Phillip Island) coming in a close third on a 16.56 point total. In the newly introduced bodyboard division Chris Watson (Rosebud) flipped his way to victory, earning himself a 15.73 point total over Jacques Le Roux who came in a close second place. Watson was able to utilise the whole wave performing a roll to deep barrel before
coming out into another roll. Finishing in second and third place was Jacques Le Roux (Gladstone park) on a 15.17 total and Ryan Jucker (Hampton East) on a 13.87 point total. On the master’s side of the draw Arthur McKenzie (Cowes) pulled out a few tricks to impress the judges and come out on top of his competitors. McKenzie was able to put together multiple hammering turns and carves to earn himself a 9.33 point ride and the victory. However, Callan Cross (Torquay) wasn’t going to let McKenzie have the win easily. Cross earned himself an 8.33 point ride of his own but he wasn’t able to find a back up score to overtake McKenzie.
Ocean Grove has moved into top spot on the Geelong Bowls Region Saturday Pennant ladder. Both Ocean Grove sides won on the weekend with the Number 1 side enjoying a big win against Bareena. The Grovers won two rinks and the other was tied with Peter Loe’s rink winning by 17. Ocean Grove 2 defeated Lara and won its second game of the season. The 18-shot win was set up by Rick Webb and Alan Drury while Luke Benson and Michael Kelly played out a tie. Eastern Park is level with Ocean Grove 1 at the top of the ladder with only percentage separating the two sides. Eastern Park had to settle for a draw against Queenscliff with the rinks being unfit for play. Drysdale won a thriller against Highton by three shots. It was Highton’s first loss of the season while Drysdale moved into the top five. City of Geelong finally got onto the winner’s list with a win against Bell Post Hill. Zane Lugg led his rink to a nine-shot win with only 10 shots separating the two sides at the end of play. Tomorrow’s match of the round looks set to be fought out at Queenscliff with the home side taking on Ocean Grove 1. Queenscliff sit third on the table while the Grovers are on top. In other games, Bareena hosts Ocean Grove 2, Highton travels to Lara, Eastern Park hosts Bell Post Hill and City of Geelong makes the trip to Drysdale. Friday, 28 October, 2022 GEELONG INDEPENDENT 27
