Due to high winds, we've closed the Geelong Botanic Gardens and the Drysdale Resource Recovery Centre in the interest of community safety.
Both facilities will remain closed for the rest of today (Wednesday 28 August 2024).
We appreciate your understanding.
During weather conditions such as this, the Victoria State Emergency Service (SES) advises the community to:
- Keep informed through VicEmergency and the Bureau of Meteorology.
- Stay clear of trees, drains, gutters, creeks and waterways.
- Check that any loose items such as outdoor settings and umbrellas are secured.
For life threatening emergencies, please call 000.
If you require SES assistance, please call 132 500.
For City of Greater Geelong assistance, please contact us.
