Look, over there. That’s the George Scolaro Bridge, a simple structure spanning the Geelong line. It might not seem remarkable, but it stands as a tribute to a man who helped shape the very fabric of Werribee. George Scolaro was a concreter, a builder, a man who dedicated his life to creating the foundations of this city. He helped build council offices, schools, industrial sites, and even the Werribee Police Station. You could say he was one of the architects of this town.
But it wasn’t his concrete work alone that earned him this honor. George was a founding member of the Italian Social Club of Werribee, a place of community, laughter, and shared heritage. He made a lasting impact on the town through his work and his warm personality. They say that some people leave their mark on the world. George built bridges, both literally and figuratively, and his legacy lives on in our city’s landscape.
