Biodiversity strategy
Council has called for public comment on a proposed strategy to protect “one of the last remnants of continuous biodiversity” in Geelong.
The Southeast Bellarine Coastal Strategy will examine the future of the green wedge between the urban fringes of Ocean Grove and Point Lonsdale in a bid to protect species such as the hooded plover.

Geelong icon closes
Geelong’s iconic circular wooden pier closed on Wednesday after severe winds and storms tore off a few decking boards.
Council expects to reopen the structure this weekend after contractors have repaired the damage.
