Leadership recognised
Recently-departed chief executive officer of regional alliance G21, Elaine Carbines, has won the Committee for Geelong Leadership Award for 2020.
The committee regonised Ms Carbines for her work providing strategic leadership and a collective voice for Geelong and the surrounding regions.
“Elaine has been an outstanding contributor to the Geelong community and has been an exemplar in showing through her actions the key tenets of leadership,” said Committee for Geelong chair Clive Pugh.
Flood warning signs
VICSES has erected several “crucial” safety signs around Geelong, in a bid to warn locals and visitors about flood danger at various popular spots.
The signs are located in areas including along the Barwon River and Hovells Creek, and suburbs including Belmont, Breakwater, Lara, Highton and Armstrong Creek.
Soot blowing
Geelong’s refinery will carry out cleaning on its heat boiler – a process known internally as “soot blowing” – beginning next Monday, pending favourable conditions.
During the two-week EPA-approved activity, some soot could be emitted from the refinery’s residual catalytic cracking unit stack, a refinery spokesperson said.
