Chris COUZENS (Geelong) (13:34): On another matter, last week I attended the farewell for Joel McGuinness, CEO of the Geelong Arts Centre. Joel saw the arts centre through the COVID pandemic ‍– no easy task – and of course the Geelong Arts Centre redevelopment, creating incredible spaces and performance areas whilst supporting the arts sector. With the redevelopment now completed and the arts centre open for business, Joel is leaving an incredible legacy to start a new role with the State Library. Although we are sad to see Joel leave Geelong, we also wish him every success.
