we actually pulled it off and the council officially greenlit our permanent track site. im honestly shocked that we finally have a home to call our own after all these years. now we just have to get to work on the build and get those cars running.

Geelong Radio Control Car Club (GRCCC) has been running events and club days for over eight years at the Bell Park Sports Club in West Geelong.

We have a growing membership of all ages and a strong community spirit.

The facility use has been on a casual basis unable to provide stability and security for the long term future of the club.

With the recent council acquisition of land and facilities at West Geelong, we wish to invite the council to work alongside our club with the end goal of relocating to a purpose built permanent facility.

This will allow GRCCC to grow into our own sporting hub.

The council has been understanding and receptive to our situation.

With a list of names on this petition it will further indicate to the council the support we have from the community and the desperate need for our own space to cater for the increasing demand and tremendous growth in the Geelong region with the only facility of its type to the west of Melbourne.

We would be very grateful if you could sign this petition and share it to as many people as possible to help our club.

Thank you - Geelong Radio Control Car Club

I have been involved in the Radio Controlled hobby for more that 35yrs. The addition of a permanent facility will be a great investment for the community.

GRCCC benefits the area by promoting a great sense of community and provides a rewarding pastime to both young and old. Having a dedicated facilty will further encourage people of different walks of time together to enjoy this great hobby.

GRCCC have been struggling with the current facilities, and had to pass on the opportunity to host the VIC state titles in 2019 as the facility wasn't up to scratch. It's time they got something more appropriate than a shared carpark.

I'm amazed a permanent facility hasn't already been designated for this club? Its a great opportunity for Geelong to really put itself on the map to have a great facility. So will the Geelong council dare to help create the best RC track in Victoria? I for one do hope so

Desperately need a permanent site. Very tiring having to set up and pull down every race meet.

A permanent track is what the club needs. Only on-road RC club over the Westgate Bridge.

Get kids away from computer games and back outdoors meeting new people.

A great club deserving a permanent location
