In short, the north Bellarine community\u2019s long-held dream of a new pool is a big step closer to reality.<br \/>\nThe federal government committed $10 million for this facility in April 2019, and the Council has allocated $750,000 in this year\u2019s budget.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s proposed the centre will feature a 50-metre pool, multipurpose spaces, change facilities and a pavilion.<br \/>\nThe chosen location is easily accessible from all north Bellarine towns, will integrate well with the surrounding sporting facilities and schools, and will allow room to expand in future should more funding become available.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sports lighting for St Leonards Lake Reserve<\/strong><br \/>\nThe City of Greater Geelong was successful in its recent application for $2.5 million in sports lighting grants under the Victorian Government\u2019s Community Sports Infrastructure Stimulus Program.<br \/>\nThe funding is for new floodlighting at seven different reserves across the Greater Geelong region, including St Leonards Lake Reserve.<br \/>\nThis is welcome news and we thank the Victorian Government for the funding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Planning for new community pavilion on St Leonards foreshore<\/strong><br \/>\nIn 2019, the federal government made an election commitment of $430,000 for a new community pavilion and upgraded amenities next to Harvey Park on the St Leonards foreshore.<br \/>\nThe City of Greater Geelong has now developed concept plans for this new facility, and we\u2019re seeking feedback from nearby residents and users of the reserve.<br \/>\nThe plans include an open-sided shelter with BBQs, seating, toilets, change facilities and cold water outdoor showers, along with new trees and a public art piece.<br \/>\nThey\u2019ve been developed in consultation with the St Leonards Beautification Committee, the Department of Environment, Land Water and Planning (DELWP), and Bellarine Bayside Coastal Management.<br \/>\nYou can view the concept plan and have your say until September 7 at <a href=\"http:\/\/yoursay.geelongaustralia.com.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">yoursay.geelongaustralia.com.au<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fresh approaches to rabbit control, tree management and stormwater services<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Council\u2019s draft four-year Rabbit Control Plan is open for feedback until next Tuesday (August 25).<br \/>\nThis plan, once finalised, will give us an integrated approach to controlling the rabbit population and regenerating affected land through a variety of techniques.<br \/>\nYou can read the draft plan in full and share your thoughts and ideas with us via <a href=\"http:\/\/yoursay.geelongaustralia.com.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">yoursay.geelongaustralia.com.au<\/a>.<br \/>\nThe feedback period recently closed on our draft Tree Management Policy, which will guide the future management and protection of our region\u2019s vast tree population.<br \/>\nThanks to everyone who provided input \u2013 your feedback will now be considered by the Council before we finalise the policy.<br \/>\nAnd the Council is pleased with our new 10-year Stormwater Services Strategy, adopted on 30 June.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s a far-sighted document that plans for climate change, more intense rainfall events, and the combined re-vegetation and recreational use of some floodways. It will also see us using more harvested stormwater on our parks and gardens, reducing demand on the region\u2019s drinking water supplies.<br \/>\nThe strategy can be read in full at <a href=\"http:\/\/geelongaustralia.com.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">geelongaustralia.com.au<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thanks to our community<\/strong><br \/>\nPending a state government decision to delay the Council elections or press ahead with the scheduled date in October, this may be my final column for the <em>Bellarine Times<\/em> before the caretaker period begins.<br \/>\nThank you to all Bellarine residents who have taken the time to contact me with an idea or issue during the three years of this Council term.<br \/>\nWe have a wonderful, passionate community and it is an honour to represent you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cr Jim Mason<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Bellarine Ward, City of Greater Geelong<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WE are now two weeks into this second period of stage three restrictions, and our Greater Geelong community is again showing its dedication to limiting further spread of COVID-19.
