Accreditation celebrated at BCH Ocean Grove Voice

Bellarine Community Health (BCH) has achieved full accreditation under new National Safety and Quality Primary and Community Healthcare Standards.

Accreditation is independent recognition that an organisation meets the requirements of defined criteria or standards, and BCH has been one of the first organisations to be audited under these standards which were released in May this year.

BCH programs and services assessed included primary health and sub-acute services, child health and development services, mental health and youth health and wellbeing services and dental health services.

The accreditation audit covered almost all of BCH services and were delighted with the outcome, BCH chief executive Garry Ellis said.

This result is a huge credit to our staff.

To meet accreditation requirements, all standards must be met. Several met with recommendations were received and these are opportunities for BCH to improve even further on services before the next

accreditation audit in three years.

What is really pleasing is that the assessment team made special note of the exceptional culture that is evident throughout BCH, Mr Ellis said.

It has been wonderful to be able to tell staff that their attitudes, relationships with other team members and their clients and their willingness to provide great service to the community was recognised by the auditors.

The accreditation report also acknowledged the partnership BCH has with the community, stating the commitment of BCH to effectively partner with their consumers was obvious, and that the organisation had a progressive approach for inclusive service provision and community platforms.

The assessment was undertaken according to the requirements of the National Safety and Quality Primary and Community Healthcare Standards and Accreditation Program and conducted by independent, certified quality assessors from the company QIP (Quality Innovation Performance).

ABL pulls out of Waurn Ponds Ocean Grove Voice

Geelong Koreas short involvement in the Australian Baseball League (ABL) is officially over.

Geelong Korea began competing in the ABL in the 2018-19 season. It played home games at Waurn Ponds and was made up of professional South Korean players.

However, Baseball Australia confirmed that the team would be involved in the 2023-24 season.

The team received support from the City of Greater Geelong and the state government.

This is a really disappointing decision for the club, its players, supporters and the wider community of Geelong, Geelong mayor Trent Sullivan said.

Geelong Korea is a unique club and one that bore the brunt of the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

I would have liked to see the club given more time and support to re-establish in the ABL, which would help grow the sport locally and capitalise on its international potential.

In its three seasons competing in the ABL, Geelong Korea teamwon 31 games and lost 89.

Baseball Australia chief executive Glenn Williams said the decision was reached through thoughtful consideration, but didnt give any clear reason on why the team had been axed.

While this is a tough decision and we are certainly sad to see Geelong Korea leave the Australian Baseball League, the decision has been made following in-depth consultation with all parties, and in the best interest of the Australian Baseball League, fellow teams, corporate partners, and fans of the game, he said.

Mr Williams thanked the Victorian government and City of Greater Geelong for their support of the baseball community.

For an international team located in Australia it hasnt been easy, he said.

The support shown by the Victorian government and Geelong City Council of GK, and baseball more broadly, has been unwavering. We are all grateful for the support shown.

Upgrades for Marshalltown Road Ocean Grove Voice

Marshalltown Road at Grovedale will benefit from a $1.2 million funding injection for upgrades.

Several black spot road projects in the Corangamite electorate will receive more than $2.3 million in Australian government funding, with Grovedale project to include the construction of wombat crossings on each approach to the existing roundabout at Marshalltown Road, reconstruction of the centre island and splitter islands, a new asphalt surface, road drainage and upgraded street lighting.

The project was submitted for funding by the City of Greater Geelong and is included in the $25.6 million of funding for Victoria roads under the Black Spot Programs 202324 funding round.

The Black Spot Program funds safety measures such as traffic signals and roundabouts at locations where a number of serious crashes are known to have occurred, or are at risk of occurring.

Victoria has had a devastating 12 months with 275 people dying on our roads, a 13.2 percent increase from 2022.

The Grovedale Primary School community are all very pleased that the Bailey Street and Marshalltown Road area has been identified for such significant upgrades, Grovedale Primary School principal Tina Barnett said.

Its a busy area and we know that this investment from the federal government will improve the safety of our children and their families for years to come.

Along with our school council, we have been advocating for preventative measures to be installed since mid-2022 and this announcement has come as a welcome acknowledgement of the importance of protecting our local community members of all ages.

This major investment is part of the Australian governments commitment to building safer roads, Member for Corangamite Libby Coker said.

In announcing these new projects, this government recognises the importance of working with local councils, including the Surf Coast Shire and the City of Greater Geelong, to deliver this program in the state. I commend our local councils for being proactive in pursuing this funding.

Grubbers end season on a high Ocean Grove Voice

Ocean Grove ended its 2023 season with a 24-point win against Queenscliff, taking its win-loss ratio to 5-13.

It was the only time the Grubbers defeated a side above them on the ladder and the club now goes into the offseason with a lot of work to do to be a finals contender in 2024.

The 13.11(89) to 9.11(65) victory on Saturday August 12 at Queenscliff was a reward for the hard work the side has put in. Ruckman Ed Dayman was superb again while Cameron Fowler, Grady Slocombe, Tom Chalkley, Max Sutton and captain Joe McDonald rounded out the best players.

We had a number of games that we walked away really proud from, but to play out the season to the last few minutes and walk away with a win against a side in some pretty good form themselves was something we can surely build on as we shift our focus quickly to 2024, first-year coach Dave Farrell said.

Our pressure on and around the ball was really good again theyre so quick, if you give them room to be and we saw that a number of times on the weekend when they went forward.

Our defenders stood up as they have all year and made it really difficult for them to get any space or easy shots forward.

Ocean Groves form during the past two months improved dramatically from the first half of the season.

A string of narrow losses against good sides had the team playing confidently right to the end.

In one word I would sum the season up as busy, Farrell said.

With a new coaching group and playing group coming together and wanting to make some big changes, we asked a lot of everyone. It takes time to develop strong relationships and build a new game style while still maintaining a high level of engagement around the club beyond just our senior mens program.

Our players have balanced things super well and expect they will continue to as our netballers and junior footballers go deep into finals.

Farrell said he expected the playing group to stay together and get better during the offseason.

We are really aware there is still plenty of ground to make up on the competition and fully expect them to be on the improve again so we need to make sure everything we do is well considered and we are as efficient as we can be, he said.

The list couldnt be in better shape in regards to gaining early commitment from this years group backed by some really talented Under 18s graduating that were looking forward to seeing get to work in November.

Well implore our guys to maintain their conditioning over the break so we can build from the level theyre at now and the same with our game method we have a great base to build on there too.

Despite the optimism, Farrell said there were areas that his side needed to improve upon.

Definitely our efficiency, both in maintaining the ball to create chains of possession then how we go forward to best give ourselves a chance of convert...

St Leonards skate park works begin Ocean Grove Voice

Work is now underway to upgrade and expand the St Leonards Skate Park thanks to sustained support from the community.

The $670,000 upgrade, funded in partnership by the City of Greater Geelong and the Victorian governments Community Sport Infrastructure Stimulus Program, will provide a brand-new skate area that includes a mini-ramp, quarter pipes, rails and a manual pad.

The park, stage one of which saw the installation of two combined basketball/futsal goals and two netball rings in February, will also get new shelter and seating areas, a drinking fountain and an ENE Hub smart pole as part of stage two.

Community support for the park was spearheaded by Bellarine Secondary College student Ethan Coleman, who gathered 800 signatures for a petition that was presented to the council.

Ethan said advocating for the skate park upgrade helped him see the power of collective action.

Its been hard work advocating for the skate park project and Ive had the privilege of working with many community members, he said.

To see the skate park project commence is extremely exciting, and it is something that our community has waited a long time for.

Geelong mayor Trent Sullivan commended Ethan and the community for their passion for the project.

Local young people have wanted this project for a long time, including Ethan whos done amazing work to advocate on behalf (of) the community, he said.

Member for Bellarine Alison Marchant said the state government was proud to invest in the St Leonards community.

I congratulate the community for their continued advocacy to see St Leonards get the skate park facility they deserve, she said.

This new skate park will mean locals have another place to keep active and enjoy the outdoors.

Stage two of the project is due for completion in November.

Four into three: the computer says no Ocean Grove Voice

Four Geelong Football League sides sitting third to sixth on the ladder are vying for three finals spots.

Newtown & Chilwell, South Barwon, Leopold and St Josephs are all on 11 wins with two rounds remaining.

Not only are they fighting for a finals spot, they are all still in the hunt for third place and the double chance that goes with it.

South Barwon has the toughest assignment, facing St Marys (first) and Colac (second).

Newtown & Chilwell should defeat Lara this week and then square off against Leopold, which should beat St Albans. St Josephs have St Marys and Geelong West.

South Barwon had to work super hard to get over a spirited Grovedale in round 16.

Grovedale led by nine points at three-quarter time, but a five-goal final term sealed the win with skipper Matt Caldow in fine form, booting four goals.

Ryan Abbott had 42 hitouts for Grovedale and Will Ford had 31 disposals.

St Josephs also had to dig deep to dispose of Bell Park by 18 points.

James (43 possessions) and Alex Hickey (31) had the ball on a string while Keegan Gray had 27 touches and Darcy Brown 38 hitouts and eight tackles for the Dragons.

After not winning a game for four years, St Albans made two on the trot.

The Supersaints defeated North Shore by two points with Ben Miller and Nathan Cole firing while Jordan Lyons booted four goals.

The Seagulls were well served by Lachlan Hayes 23 disposals and Joel Edwards four goals.

Colac prevailed over Newtown & Chilwell in horrendous conditions that made scoring difficult.

Kody Spokes 24 touches ignited Colacs charge and Matthew Boag had the most possessions on the ground with 37 for the Eagles.

St Marys was far too good for Lara, winning by 64 points.

Scott Selwood racked up 29 touches and star forward Sam Dobson booted six goals in the win while Connor Thar was prolific for Lara with 36 disposals, 21 of them contested.

Leopold did what it needed to do with a 57-point win against Geelong West.

Marcus Thompson was his usual busy self with 41 possessions and Trent West had 66 hitouts.

Not to be outdone, David Handley racked up 41 touches for the Giants and Jamieson Ballantyne 31.

Returning language to Ocean Grove Ocean Grove Voice

The Ocean Grove Spit has been officially named Bukareeyoo, which recognises Wadawurrung language returning to a special part of the Ocean Grove coastline.

The Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation gave the area the Wadawurrung word Bukareeyoo, which means between and identifies how it sits between the ocean and the river.

Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation Wadawurrung Elder Aunty Mary Shuttleworth said the area was culturally significant, with generations of people gathering, connecting and feasting there.

My Spirit lifts and my connection to Country deepens when I hear Wadawurrung Language, the mother tongue of my Ancestors spoken on Wadawurrung dja (Country), she said.

Barwon Coast and the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation will hold a sunrise ceremony on Saturday, August 26.

Barwon Coast chief executive Gary McPike said he was delighted to celebrate the official return of Wadawurrung language to Country.

We believe the new name will help educate our communities, campers and visitors about Wadawurrung stories and their long history of caring for the coast, he said.

At Barwon Coast, we recognise and celebrate the marine and coastal environment of the southern Bellarine Peninsulas as the traditional lands and sea Country of the Wadawurrung people.

Working collaboratively with Wadawurrung to protect the cultural heritage of this area is a core focus of Barwon Coasts primary strategic planning document, the Barwon Coast Coastal and Marine Management Plan 2020-2025.

We are also committed to helping to achieve the aspirations of Paleert Tjaara Dja Lets make Country good together 2020 2030, Wadawurrung Country Plan, and understand the importance of language to Wadawurrung people and working together to keep Wadawurrung Country healthy.

Barwon Coast conducted an online survey from late 2022 to early 2023, which welcomed community feedback on the name Bukareeyoo, with many residents supporting the proposed name.

Full steam ahead for iconic railway Ocean Grove Voice

Upgrades to the Bellarine Railway have been completed after $3.4 million was invested into the project by the state government.

Member for Bellarine Alison Marchant on Monday officially announced the completion of works along the 16.5km line between Queenscliff and Drysdale.

Established more than 140 years ago, the railway has a strong history operating as an important defence line ferrying military traffic from South Geelong to Fort Queenscliff and Swan Island.

The heritage train passes through vibrant scenery and was reborn as a tourist attraction in 1979 run by the Geelong Steam Preservation Society.

The society and its volunteers do an incredible job running this railway, and its fantastic to give them the support they need so this rail experience can continue to attract visitors to the region, Ms Marchant said.

The railway also hosts the popular Q Train offering an award-winning dining experience and the Blues Train featuring live music and dining.

The replacement of sleepers and rails along the line have boosted ride quality and safety for passengers to enjoy the iconic line well into the future.

The Geelong Steam Preservation Society welcomes the upgrades to the railway that will ensure the viability of the operation for future generations, Geelong Steam Preservation Society president Steve Dalton said.

New exhibition centre name revealed Ocean Grove Voice

The new Geelong Convention and Exhibition Centre (GCEC) will be called Nyaal Banyul, a name gifted by the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation.

Revealed on Friday, August 11 at an event on Cunningham Pier, the official name Nyaal Banyul means open your eyes to the hills, a reference to the landscapes of Wadawurrung Country.

The assembled crowd included Minister for Regional Development Harriet Shing, member for Geelong Christine Couzens, Geelong mayor Trent Sullivan and future operator Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre chief executive Natalie OBrien AM.

Wadawurrung Traditional Owners presented a Welcome to Country ceremony and representatives of the organisation including interim chief executive Liam Murphy and Wadawurrung woman Corrina Eccles spoke on the importance of the waterfront site and the process undertaken to decide on the name.

Naming in Wadawurrung language is a process only Wadawurrung Traditional Owners can do and we are grateful to have been given the opportunity to return language to Country, Mr Murphy said.

We also appreciate being invited to provide design principles to inform the concept of the GCEC on this part of Country, as the Western Beach cliffs hold special cultural value to Wadawurrung.

Minister Shing said the Victorian government was honoured to the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners had gifted the name to the new centre.

It is profoundly important that as we work to develop any sites, whether they be in the middle of Geelong or at the edges of our state, we are in conversation and partnership with traditional owners on everything from language through to design, visibility of culture and connection to country, she said.

These are central components to an enduring reflection of the oldest continuous culture on earth.

Making sure that the spaces and the places and the precincts that we develop are inclusive (and) tell the stories that are here already mean that as communities we are thriving and growing together.

The purpose-built convention and event centre is being funded through the Geelong City Deal, with the Victorian government providing $260 million along with $30 million from the Australian government and $3 million from the City of Greater Geelong.

Construction is slated to begin soon and is expected to be completed in 2026.

Seven in row for rampaging Eagles Ocean Grove Voice

East Geelong stretched its winning streak to seven after a ruthless 90-point win against Werribee Centrals in the penultimate round of Geelong & District Football League on Saturday August 12.

The Eagles can still grab third spot if they defeat Belmont this weekend and Centrals defeats Inverleigh.

The most likely scenario is an elimination final match-up against Bannockburn.

Zac Smith was on a goal-kicking rampage on Saturday with nine to take his tally to 65 this season while Caleb Lowndes chipped in with five and Midfielder Billy Andrew was damaging.

Bell Post Hill will finish in second spot after a 66-point win against Belmont.

Will Ford booted seven for the Panthers to move to 61 for the season while Jett Herrmann and Matthew James were great contributors.

Bell Post Hill will meet either East Geelong or Inverleigh in a qualifying final.

Inverleigh fine-tuned its game with an 88-point win against North Geelong.

Adam Donohue (six goals) and Casey Meehan (four) were on target up forward.

North Geelong was goalless during the first half, but Jacsen Jewell bobbed up to boot three goals in the second to add some respectability to the score.

Winchelsea did what it needed to do by beating Geelong West, but needed an upset in the Corio vs Bannockburn game to stay in the finals race.

With Banno winning comfortably, thats the season done for the Blues.

Four goals each to Edward Smith and Leigh Ellis gave the Blues a nine-goal win.

Bannockburn cemented its finals spot with a 62-point win against Corio.

The Tigers cannot finish any higher than fifth, but with Callum Hetherington (six goals) in fine form, could do some damage.

Joel Bennett (four goals) continues to be a shining light for the Magpies and a return of 39 goals this season is a superb effort.

Thomson stayed in top spot after a 147-point triumph over Anakie.

Brent Jacques kicked eight for the Tigers while Mitch Hodgson and Jed Hanneysee contributed four each.

Thomson meets second placed Bell Post Hill this week to decide top spot. The Tigers are a game and 14.27 percent ahead so the Panthers would need to win reasonably comfortably to grab the minor premiership.

Warriors primed for finals tilt Ocean Grove Voice

Modewarre will meet Anglesea in the Bellarine Football League elimination final on Sunday August 20 while Drysdale takes on Barwon Heads in the qualifying final on Saturday.

Moddas form in the second half of the season has been impressive and in a dress rehearsal for the game, defeated Anglesea in the final round of the season.

Modda was without star onballer Josh Finch while the Roos rested several players including coach Jordan Keras and key forward Dylan Pettingill.

Anglesea was goalless for the first half as Tom Hornsey was unstoppable up forward. He would end the game with six goals to take his seasons tally to 59.

Connor Joseph booted three goals and has 51 for the season.

Barwon Heads 56-point round 14 win against Drysdale is now a distant memory.

Drysdale is now in better form than the Seagulls in what looms as an evenly matched qualifying final.

The Hawks brushed aside Geelong Amateur with Mitch ODowd best afield while James Breust booted four majors.

Breust (34 goals) and Tom Ruggles (58) form a potent forward line leading into finals.

Barwon Heads prevailed by 61 points against Newcomb with Mitch Phelps bobbing up to boot five goals.

The Seagulls are likely to regain several key players for their qualifying final.

Newcomb skipper Jack Duke was excellent with four goals.

Ocean Grove finished the season on a high with its fifth win of the season.

The Grubbers defeated Queenscliff by 24 points thanks to ruckman Ed Dayman continuing his splendid form and three goals from Jye Walker.

Both clubs will now have the offseason to improve their lists.

Torquay thrashed Portarlington by 138 points and will sit this week out as a reward for finishing on top of the ladder.

Lucas Anderson took his goal haul to 74 with a haul of seven while four players booted three each.

Portarlington was winless for the season, but has made massive strides forward.

STUMPS tour new single Ocean Grove Voice

Genre-hopping indie rock band STUMPS visit Geelong this month as part of their national tour.

The Sydney trio will bring their blend of Brit pop, funky dance beats, anthemic rock and ethereal soundscapes to the Barwon Club on Saturday, August 19 as they promote their new single Lifes Moving Past You.

STUMPS bassist Merrick Powell said the tour, which began in July and will encompasses the east coast as well as Adelaide and Perth, had been a joy so far.

It has been unreal, we have played some of the funnest shows to date on this tour, and in some places we didnt expect, Powell said.

The band we are touring with, Jet City Sports Club, have been the greatest people to spend time with on the road, so that has been a pleasure as well.

STUMPS have never visited Geelong, but Powell said the band was looking forward to entertaining the regions music lovers.

Were so excited to head down to Geelong; many people have told us that the Barwon Club is a great venue, so were real pumped, he said.

We like to put on a show that has some sweaty dancefloor moments, some big emotional moments and some fun, silly moments.

We hope to create a space where people can have a great time regardless if they are up the front sweating it up, or having a relaxed listen by the bar.

Small Business Fest underway Ocean Grove Voice

The Geelong Small Business Festival is now underway after a magnificent launch event at GMHBA Stadium last week.

It was wonderful listening to guest speaker Cherie Clonan talk about her journey and launching her own business, The Digital Picnic, nine years ago.

There are many similar stories to Cheries across the region, and it is that spirit of entrepreneurism that thrives among events at the festival.

In person and online activities are being held across the whole month, meaning there is still ample opportunities to get involved.

The importance of this festival and more to the point the role small business play in our community cannot be overstated.

For example, there is much that has been made of our growing population, and the new communities that are forming as a result.

But these communities can only thrive if residents can secure work in the local area and thankfully, that is what we have been seeing across Greater Geelong.

In 2022 we welcomed 2,172 new businesses to the region, which helped create more than 12,100 jobs the fastest jobs growth seen among Australian regional cities.

The small business sector is driving the prosperity of our community, contributing $9 billion to the regional economy, and the Geelong Small Business Festival celebrates the contribution of these businesses, and supports our operators, innovators, and entrepreneurs.

This year, the City of Greater Geelong has partnered with the Geelong Chamber of Commerce to deliver the festival.

This partnership supports the continued growth and evolution of the program, with more than 70 free and low-cost events, workshops and presentations on offer.

I encourage local business operators and entrepreneurs who are looking to grow their networks, be inspired, and learn how they can grow their operations, to visit the festival website (gsbf.com.au/) and see how they can get involved.
