The City of Greater Geelong is also supporting the local community, saying its thoughts are with the people of Nepal, and everyone affected by the disaster.

The council’s catenary lights on the corner of Moorabool and Malop streets have been lit in the colours of the Nepalese flag, and will continue this week.
