RooBlu Posted July 18, 2022 Report Posted July 18, 2022 5 hours ago, Gonzo said: What an embarrassing waste of money #VoteDanOut Well November will determine a result one way or the other. Both parties are highly supportive of these Games, their only point of difference being that the ALP support the opening ceremony being at the G, where as the LNP would shift it to Geelong. Quote

Both Labor and Liveral parties support these Regional Games. Dan have a on track to win again so your campaign ain’t going anywhere. Regional Victoria are the big winners from this innovative Regional model. It will create more jobs and promote tourism and all the amazing places and people in Regional Victoria. Quote

RooBlu Posted July 18, 2022 Report Posted July 18, 2022 I know that it's been discussed a couple of time about converting Sebastopol's velodrome into an international standard facility. Personally I can't see it being able to be converted. It would need to be bulldozed and a new wooden track built under a large weatherproof canopy with enough room under the canopy to accommodate temporary seating for 5000 perhaps, which would be the cheapest solution. As the images below illustrate, the existing velodrome is concrete and about 50 years old. Quote
AustralianFan Posted July 20, 2022 Author Report Posted July 20, 2022 Likely to also include a creative / performing team as well for the hand-over segment in the Closing Ceremony. Quote

It's very close to Melbourne and the area features Hanging Rock, the picturesque townships of Woodend, Gisborne, some beautiful green countryside (although it will be pretty dry by then) and hopefully not to put a curse on it, that we won't have a bushfire around it in the mean time.

Will there even be a proper performance? I doubt that ~4 months is enough to organize something, and even then the priority would be to set up the organizing committee and stuff... we'll probably only see a promotional video like what Gangwon 2024 did at Lausanne's closing Quote

It was a pretty simple affair, a box done up to look like a parcel, Vanessa Amorosi and some dancers, jazzed up by some projected slide images and footage of Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road. It really doesn't have to be that much because there will be plenty of advertising over the next four years. Quote
