Change for changerooms
Building work on a major new $3.5 million changeroom development at Shell Reserve in Corio will begin next month after council awarded local firm Plan Group with the construction contract.
The project will see the demolition of outdated changerooms and the construction of a new change facility, which will provide members and players of the Corio Sports Club and Corio Cricket Club with a modern, accessible space to support their current operations and future participation growth.
Adoption fees slashed
Geelong Animal Welfare Society is bursting at the seams with hundreds of cats waiting for their forever homes.
On Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 May the adoption fee for cats over six months will be lowered to $29 to ease pressure on the shelter, staff, resources and the animals.
With more than 350 cats currently in care, GAWS CEO Helen Cocks said the shelter urgently needs to find loving homes for the felines to ease strain and create space.
App is one-stop shop
The Surf Coast Rubbish and Recycling App (SCRRApp) has cemented itself as a one-stop-shop for all things local waste, highlighted by more than 10,000 downloads of the app.
The Surf Coast Shire Council app was launched following the rollout of the four-bin kerbside collection in February 2021.
The SCRRApp allows residents and visitors to receive reminders about bin night, download their collection calendar, check what goes in each bin, and be notified when there is a change to the service, such as an extra collection or a code red fire day.
