Cats tickets

Geelong Cats members will have to redeem tickets early for the side’s next game at GMHBA Stadium against North Melbourne.

The Cats confirmed this week tickets for the round 5 match would be distributed similarly to round 2 when Geelong played Brisbane at home.

This means reserved seat-holders again have little chance of sitting in the seat they purchased at GMHBA Stadium for the season.

5G expansion

Telstra has expanded its 5G coverage in the Geelong region by switching on new sites at Bannockburn and Inverleigh.

The telecom company now has more than 40 5G sites operational in greater Geelong, with about 3100 across Australia.

Reserve plans

Preliminary work on a conservation reserve stretching from Ocean Grove to Point Lonsdale is about to commence according to Geelong council.

The reserve is the brainchild of Ocean Grove Community Association’s vision to see “a sustainable conservation and heritage driven protected environmental area” connecting the two towns.
