Partnership announced
Lions Club of Ocean Grove Barwon Heads has announced that it is partnering with genU in the construction of community disability accommodation in Ocean Grove.
Lions are contributing $600,000 towards the project to be developed on the corner of Dare Street and Presidents Avenue.
The draft/concept plans were discussed at a recent Lions meeting.
The club said it was delighted to be able to partner with genU, one of Australia’s largest disability service providers, which operates solely for community benefit and invests back into the same communities in which their services are delivered.
Compost help
Bellarine residents keen to try composting at home could save over $100 on compost bins and worm farms through a new subsidised home composting program.
The products on offer through project partners Wormlovers include traditional compost bins and worm farms, compact bokashi systems for smaller households and even models designed for breaking down dog poo.
Residents of Greater Geelong can access one discount per household on a first-come, first-served basis at the initiative’s online shop at geelong.wormlovers.com.au/shop. The shop already reflects discounted prices, with savings of up to 40 per cent to be had on some systems.
A free online workshop for those new to home composting will be held on 7 April at 5.30pm. Tickets are available at bit.ly/3vNOkqS
