Kangaroo forum to be\u00a0<\/strong>held next week<\/strong>
\nANGAIR\u2019S Kangaroo Advisory Forum will hold its annual community forum next week. Parks Victoria\u2019s Phil Pegler will give a presentation titled \u201cParks, kangaroos and competing social values\u201d. The forum will be held at the CFA Community Room (in the Anglesea Fire Station), on Wednesday, July 24 at 10.30am.<\/p>\n

City defers decision on\u00a0<\/strong>old post office<\/strong>
\nTHE City of Greater Geelong council has deferred its discussion on the future of the former Geelong Post Office until its next meeting. The city has previously advertised its intention to sell the building on the corner of Ryrie and Gheringhap streets, but councillors at their meeting in Indented Head on July 9 resolved to defer a decision until their July 30 meeting. \u201cGiven the former post office is in central Geelong and there is interest in the matter among Geelong residents, we felt it was appropriate to discuss it during a meeting at City Hall,\u201d Geelong mayor Bruce Harwood said.<\/p>\n

Battery rebate program\u00a0<\/strong>piloted on the Surf Coast<\/strong>
\nELIGIBLE residents in the 3228 and 3217 postcodes can take advantage of an opportunity to be part of a battery rebate
\npilot program. Launched on July 1, the state government scheme is offering 1,000 rebates of up to $4,838 for a solar battery
\nsystem. The battery rebates are for people in designated growth suburbs who have already installed solar panels but have not accessed a solar rebate. For the full eligibility criteria and application process, head to solar.vic. gov.au\/solar-battery-rebate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
