Cape Otway Road Australia
Bev McARTHUR (Western Victoria) (09:49): Recently my colleagues Richard Riordan and Sam Groth and I were very pleased to join founders Daryl Pelchen and Olivia Tipler from Cape Otway Road Australia, CORA, to announce their amazing new partnership with legendary French tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou. CORA brings together a wide range of elite sports wellbeing and training, and this particular partnership in Western Victoria Region will create the Southern Hemisphere’s largest tennis academy right in the heart of our country electorate. Bringing together the best coaching and infrastructure from the French tennis centre, CORA will create extraordinary opportunities for young students and athletes from not only Australia but also the Asia-Pacific region. The world-class complex is set to be built 25 kilometres south-west of Geelong and will profoundly contribute to the local economy and tourism in the Greater Geelong, Surf Coast and wider western Victoria area. Congratulations to CORA. The team of Daryl and Olivia have been amazing prosecuting this extraordinary facility over many years, with many hiccups caused largely by government. But anyway, it is off and running, and I hope it gets to fruition very soon. It is a very significant, and internationally significant, commendable partnership.
