Re: Allura Estate 1965Apr 25, 2016 9:28 pm Added the gym http://www.scribblemaps.com/maps/view/A ... aAmenities I also found a document linking up ALDI to our area, particularly the "northern half of Leakes Road between Marquands and Palmers Roads, and the entire width of Leakes Road between Palmers Road and the Federation Trail". Seems pretty recent. Not sure in plain English how I could summarize it http://dsewebapps.dse.vic.gov.au/Shared/ats.nsf/(attachmentopen)/7CBA759C8AD53AB2CA257F6000767FDC/$File/Wyndham+C212+Explanatory+Report+Exhibition+Gazetted.pdf Re: Allura Estate 1966Apr 26, 2016 9:19 am melbfhb Added the gym http://www.scribblemaps.com/maps/view/A ... aAmenities I also found a document linking up ALDI to our area, particularly the "northern half of Leakes Road between Marquands and Palmers Roads, and the entire width of Leakes Road between Palmers Road and the Federation Trail".

Hopefully we will get the news about the school sooner too. Re: Allura Estate 1968Apr 26, 2016 11:41 pm Updated most of those industrial estates - when I have time I'll add more. Interesting to note that IKEA is moving their *national* distribution centre to Truganina (Drystone Industrial Estate) along with Target as well. https://www.charterhall.com.au/news/201 ... al-estate/ I wish they'd open an IKEA store nearby.. it would just be a stonesthrow away from their main hub! Next one is in Campbellfield, but this article says: Quote: Mr Hood said the group hoped to open a fourth store in Melbourne’s west by 2020, and in the long term would consider some regional locations. “When we look at the growth in Melbourne and the growth in the economy and new housing, north and west Melbourne are obvious places for us to be,” Mr Hood said.

Very friendly staff and they offered 5c discount too. When asked what is coming next to them they said its an ALDI. So good news here for all of us I believe. Suleman Gateaway which is across the road from Monet Drive will have a Pizza shop, Hungry Jacks, Indian Restaurent, Green Grocer, ALDI, Petrol Station and much more. can't wait to settle near such convenience.

That is great, though I wish they would build the school. When we first inquired about the land in Allura, the school was slated to open in 2015! Also the duplication of Leakes, Palmers and Sayers Road would improve our area even more. Re: Allura Estate 1976Apr 29, 2016 12:26 pm CDL1968 jitendrasharma I visited the Puma Petrol station today.

Then there is St Clare and Westbourne Grammar also within walking distance.

Also the duplication of Leakes, Palmers and Sayers Road would improve our area even more. I remember back in 2014 when I purchased land in the area, the sales people were saying the school would come up "soon"! The roads need to be done soon otherwise in the next 6-12 months we're going to see major traffic issues with more shops, homes, offices and warehouses being built. We need to see: - Urgent Duplication of Leakes, Palmers, Sayers Road - Fixing Leakes Road traffic around Laverton Market on weekends - always a pile up on weekends during market hours as theres only one lane, and the shoulder is too dangerous/full of potholes to pass turning cars. - Bus services throughout the estate along Elmhurst to Sedgefield Ave towards Palmers Road. I can see some of the bus stop pads are already there. I'd encourage emailing Wyndham City Council to push for change - mail@wyndham.vic.gov.au Re: Allura Estate 1980May 02, 2016 9:10 am jitendrasharma I visited the Puma Petrol station today.
