I'm advocating for funding and facilities in Whittington, one of Geelong’s oldest and most disadvantaged suburbs.

Whittington residents deserve modern community infrastructure and services that meet the needs of local families and our community.

Whittington has enormous potential, and with the right investment we can help unlock new opportunities for residents, strengthen community connections and ensure this proud neighbourhood has the facilities it deserves for generations to come.

Together, we can make the case for Whittington’s future!

Take a look at what else I had to say recently in my Geelong Times column.

On Friday night I dropped into the The Nest Youth Hub at 17 Gheringhap Street, Geelong to celebrate Wear it Purple Day with some of the youngesters in our Geelong Community.

Wear It Purple Day aims to creating a safe, inclusive space where LGBTQIA+ young people and allies come together to celebrate diversity and strengthen their sense of belonging and connection.

And btw, applications for the 2027 Youth Council are open now for young people aged 12-17. Apply by 27th September to take part!

It was wonderful to join the Geelong City Football Club tonight for their first official night game.

Tonight the U13 and U15 teams played their first game under lights, recently installed at the Howard Glover Reserve, thanks to a City of Greater Geelong Community Infrastructure Grant.

The Eagles are soaring to new heights, with junior membership numbers, and a strong, united committee, and a inclusive, welcoming supportive club environment.

Much needed upgrades to the pavilion, change rooms, storage, social rooms and canteen facilities are still in the planning stages. It's one of the City's key advocacy projects for the upcoming Victorian State election.

Today I was priveleged to draw the winning numbers at the St Albans Saints Football Netball Club Major Draw.

Major Draws are a fun, social day for clubs like St Albans, and importantly major fundraising opportunities to inject much needed funds into club operations.

Well done to the Saints for selling 400+ tickets!

On field the Reserves celebrated a trouncing win over North Shore, securing 4th spot & finals contention in the Geelong FNL Buckleys Reserves Cup.

Off field the celebrated longstanding Vice President Mark 'Sinko' Sinkinson's birthday, thanks to a cake from Club stalwart & kitchen commanderess, Lana Anderson.

Shout out to the Club Co-President Craig Osborne, Co-President & Netball Director Virginia Wilson, Vice-President Mark Sinkinson, and all the Club Executive and Committee for creating a genuinely inclusive, supportive and progressive culture at the Club.

Go Saints!

It was great to attend last night's Newcomb Power Football Netball Club Major Draw at the Club.

I was priveleged to draw out the winning number, then securely locked away until the end of the night, of course.

Newcomb Power had a cracker of a day yesterday.

Off field we celebrated the official opening of their sports lighting and infrastructure upgrades.

On field the Seniors win over Barwon Heads puts them in 4th spot & finals contention, a win by the All-Abilities Contact team vs the Giants, and a close result for the Non-contact All -Abilities side vs Bell Park, and wins by the A & C Grades, and a narrow loss to the B Grade netballers.

Thanks to Club Power President Matt Farrow, Netball Director Lisa Robinson, and Club Executive and Committee for their always warm welcome, and for creating a genuinely inclusive, supportive and progressive culture at the Club.
