Charge laundry list

Norlane man Brayden Kennedy, 23, faces 18 charges over an alleged crime spree in Belmont and Newtown while he was on bail between October 24 and 27.

Mr Kennedy appeared in Geelong Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday afternoon after detectives charged him earlier that day with multiple theft, driving and bail-related offences.

He was remanded in custody to appear again on December 1.

Making waves

The final pieces of Geelong’s new $10.1 million wave attenuator have arrived at Geelong Port via ship from Ireland.

The 240m walkway, the largest of its kind in Australia, is on track to be completed in December and will boost local jobs, according to state and federal government.

Surf Coast burn-off

A new 35km, 40-metre-wide ring of fuel breaks will help protect towns like Lorne, Aireys Inlet and Anglesea this bushfire season, according to state government.

The government has invested $1.5 million in the 108-hectare ring of strategic fuel breaks along the Great Ocean Road.
