On Wednesday 22 Octoboer 2025, Sirovilla held its 53rd Annual General Meeting, presided over by Sirovilla Chair Cynthia Scherer and attended by the Sirovilla Board of Directors, Life Members, including former Sirovilla Manager Nola Fort, former Board Chairs Dennis Barker, Joy Leggo, and Kate Kerkin, along with several valued external partners and guests, including Austin Paterson of the Percy Baxter Charitable Trust, Kathy Russell of Bellarine Community Health, Emma Chessell of Geelong Sustainability, Dexter Magpantay of Winki Energy, and Russell Mathews of Too Hot to Handle Heating & Cooling.
We were honoured to welcome Deputy Mayor of the City of Greater Geelong and Councillor for the Barrabool Hills Ward, Cr Ron Nelson, who once again joined us for the occasion.
Thank you to everyone who attended and demonstrated their ongoing support for Sirovilla.
It was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on another year of progress and shared purpose as we continue to provide safe, affordable, long-term “lease-for-life” housing for seniors across our four villages in Highton, Anglesea, Lorne and Point Lonsdale.
