<![CDATA[banksiagrove.com - News/Search]]>Sun, 20 May 2012 18:06:46 -0800Weebly<![CDATA[Answers to Residents ]]>Tue, 24 Apr 2012 17:47:58 -0800http://banksia.weebly.com/1/post/2012/04/answers-to-residents.html Answers to residents queries as requested

1. Post Box: Can you please chase up a post box for BG residents, somewhere handy near the main flow for both sides of BG - say where the old sales office is? When the old one was removed, we kind of assumed there would be a replacement.

The City of Wanneroo have advised that the Post Box will be located on Tumbleweed Drive adjacent to the shops. (Robbie from Australia Post 0419768306).

2. Toilets: We probably need them near the amphitheater in Discovery Park.

There are no plans for toilets within the Linear POS at this stage. When events are held hire of toilets will need to be considered (were hired for Red Dog but didn’t arrive). If the area does start to host a high number of events then permanent amenities may be worth considering

3. Big Hole at the north end of Viridian Dv. Residents are wondering why they have the Grand Canyon opening up before them, and what the longer term outlook is.

The existing drainage sump has been extended to accommodate the run off from roads in the existing and new development. It is currently being fenced and will be landscaped and revegetated. Revegetation is to be achieved through winter tube stock planting with native species.

4.Support for CREW protecting the Gnangara mound. Can you give weight / are you giving weight to this good cause?

The development lodged a submission with the WA Planning Commission but have not received a response.

5. Shopping Centre timeline

An amended planning approval is being developed. At this stage we hope to commence construction in 2013/2014 financial year.

Hope this helps

If you are likewise concerned, please add your comments / voice.

1. Post Box: A post box for BG residents, somewhere handy near the main flow for both sides of BG - say where the old sales office is? When the old one was removed, we kind of assumed there would be a replacement, so...

2. Toilets: We probably need them near the amphitheater in Discovery Park. (They are not impossible to look after, since we do have public toilets at Peridot oval.) 

3. Big Hole at the north end of Viridian Dv. Residents are wondering why they have the Grand Canyon opening up before them, and what the longer term outlook is.

4. BGP support for CREW protecting the Gnangara mound. Can Banksia Grove Partnership (developers) give weight / are they giving weight to this good cause?
 
5. BG Shopping Center: When will the BG shopping center be built. First Carramar, now Ashby has leapfrogged us with their's going ahead. We need a fuel station (last stop before the country road).

6. CATRA Rumour: An idea has been floated about joining with CATRA (the Carramar Tapping Residents Association.) But there are reasons against this as well as for. Many ideas don't make it. So if this worries or excites you, let us know. This is your association.

Any other matters? Let us know. ]]><![CDATA[Banksia Buzz Newsletter - full of good info & contacts]]>Tue, 28 Feb 2012 09:13:38 -0800http://banksia.weebly.com/1/post/2012/02/banksia-buzz-newsletter-full-of-good-info-contacts.htmlLots of contacts and connecting points here.

6th May 2012

It's quite empowering to clean up the mess that's been bugging you for so long. Feels good!
We normally finish with lunch & debrief together at the BG Centre. 
Sometimes Captain Clean Up comes along. 

It's a really productive social event! And we haven't had a good old get together for a while. So let's do!


Contact Chris Nelson here.
