It’s no secret. The emergence of COVID -19 was a major blow for the world of the creative arts. Not to be outdone, a plan was hatched.
All our performers developed their craft at the Apollo Bay P-12 College’s House Of Rock and all but one had returned home to ride out Victoria’s Stage 3 lockdown with their families in August, 2020.
Having them back in town represented an opportunity to showcase their awesome talents in a COVID friendly manner and to help reconnect our community through music and stories.
Like so many people around the world during these unusual times, we miss music as well as each other. For now, stay safe and plan to enjoy these seriously talented people doing what they do best.
This project functions under a covid safe plan, in-line with the Victorian Chief Health Officer Directions as at 10/08/2020, with the approval of local Vic Pol, local DHHS, Colac Otway Shire and Great Ocean Road Health.

Fire Ready Apollo Bay
Project
Community report 6/01/2020
The Fire Ready Apollo Bay Project was developed in late 2019 and is a partnership between Apollo Bay CFA, Marrar Woorn Neighbourhood House and Otway Health*. This project was developed after consultation with community to establish what type of local response our community needs in response to a ‘fire event’.
The project aims to:
Fire Ready Apollo Bay is a big project. It encourages everyone in our community to take a positive approach to fire planning and it gives further support to our local CFA branch. Over the coming months we will have specialist support for our CFA and emergency services to model and review the issues we have in Apollo Bay and surrounds. We will also be working with local businesses and community organisations to help people understand their responsibilities, as well as what they could expect in the event of fire.
There will be a lot of questions, and a lot of learnings. This project aims to give our community more tools so we can work better together and have a better understanding of how to plan and look after each other.
Fire Ready Apollo Bay has been funded by the Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation with support from Otway Health* and delivered through Marrar Woorn Neighbourhood House.
