Event ‘supporting’ sleep-out

Geelong’s homeless will benefit from an information night on building homes next week, according to its host.

Local building advisory company Ninedots Consulting said Building New – The Foundations for Success would “support” Geelong CEO Sleepout, which raises money for the St Vincent de Paul Society’s work with the city’s homeless.

The sleep-out challenges local business leaders, senior public servants and welfare agency figures from around the Geelong region to spend a night under the stars at Kardinia Park.

Each participant secures sponsors for their sleep-out, providing an annual funding boost for St Vinnies in Geelong.

Next week’s information night would be a “raw, unpolished, one-time event” to help guests “embark upon the new-build journey,” Ninedots said.

“Learn what to expect, what to consider and what to avoid to allow for a seamless build.”

Ninedots said “build expert” Rebecca Hall would feature at the event alongside presenters from Aussie Home Loans, Jovic Accounting, Maxwell Collins Real Estate, Financial Freedom by Design, Sargeants Conveyanding and landscaper Brian McLeod.

Each $33 ticket would come with a complementary gift big of items worth more than $600, the company said.

The event would be at Runway Federal Mills, Mackey St, North Geelong, on Wednesday night.

Ninedots asked anyone wanting tickets to phone 1300 993 683 or to book online at Eventbrite.com.au.

The Geelong Indy and sister publication Geelong Coast New Homes & Lands are sponsors of the event.
