The official City of Greater Geelong event page lists Saving Spring Creek Valley - film screening at The Pivotonian, 4 Verner Street, South Geelong, on Sunday 20 September 2026 from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm. The page lists the cost as Admit one: $25 + booking fees.\n\nThe source-backed reason to consider it is the subject and format. The City page says Geelong Gardens for Wildlife and Surf Coast Environment Group are hosting the screening of Saving Spring Creek Valley. It describes the film as a locally produced environmental documentary about a 19-year grassroots community campaign to save Spring Creek Valley in Torquay from development, directed by Tim Brown and Michael Portway of Grassland Films and supported by Patagonia, Zeally Bay and Grassland Films.\n\nThat makes the event useful for Greater Geelong locals who care about nearby landscape, planning pressure, community organising or environmental storytelling. It is also useful for visitors who want an afternoon plan with regional context rather than a standard waterfront, gallery or market stop. The setting matters: The Pivotonian is in South Geelong, so the guide belongs in the Greater Geelong calendar even though the film topic reaches toward Torquay and the Surf Coast.\n\nPlan it as a focused 90-minute screening with discussion afterwards, not a flexible all-day activity. The official page says attendees can stay after the film to hear from a panel of speakers, including people involved in the campaign, and mentions a raffle. If the panel, campaign detail or raffle is the reason you are going, open the live source before booking because the page does not prove a final speaker list, exact panel length or seat availability.\n\nThe safest preparation is straightforward: confirm the date and booking link, note the South Geelong address, decide whether the ticket price suits your group, and leave time around the session if you want to talk to organisers afterwards. The page lists categories of Charity / Fundraisers and Environment and nature, and lists facilities including catering and/or dining, parking available, seating/viewing areas, toilets available and wheelchair accessible. Treat those as source-listed facility notes, not a guarantee that every access or dietary need is covered without checking.\n\nThis guide is useful because it turns a one-off documentary notice into a practical decision: whether a paid Sunday afternoon film, panel and local environmental-campaign context are worth building a South Geelong visit around. Recheck the official source close to the date and let it override this guide if cost, timing, bookings, facilities or program details change.","https://www.geelongcity.vic.gov.au/whats-happening/events/saving-spring-creek-valley-film-screening","2026-09-09T06:12:00+10:00",1789428632251]
