Last news I have seen, however 6 weeks old now. Where did you hear the update? Quote: Wyndham City Unveils Proposed 2012/2013 Budget 15.05.2012 Wyndham City is encouraging residents to have their say on plans for the municipality over the next 12 months, with plans unveiled for $83 million in capital works, along with a modest 5.5 per cent average rates rise as part of the proposed 2012/2013. From improvement works at the Wyndham Leisure and Events Centre to interactive kiosks at some of Wyndham’s libraries, the proposed budget has a wide range of Capital Works and new initiatives. The proposed budget, which was endorsed by Wyndham City at a special meeting on Monday, includes an increase in the municipal charge from $37.30 to $39.25 and the garbage charge from $224 to $254.25. The increased garbage charge is significantly impacted by the increase in the State Government EPA levy from $44 per tonne to $48.40 per tonne as well as the introduction of the Carbon Tax. Key projects that are part of the proposed $83.83 million Capital Works budget include: •Tarneit Garden’s Community and Ageing Well Centre - $9.4 million •Redevelopment of Wyndham Leisure and Events Centre at 80 Derrimut Rd– $9.36 million •Hacketts Rd Reconstruction (Sneydes Rd to Urban Growth Boundary) - $3.28 million •Wootten Road Reserve - $2.97 million •Alamanda Kindergarten and Children’s Centre - $2.28 million •Heathdale Glen Orden Pavilion refurbishment - $2.26 million •Tarneit North Kindergarten and Children’s Centre - $2.18 million •Hogans Road Oval 2 Reconstruction - $1.85 million •Princes Highway Service Rd (Frederick Court to No. 309) - $1.45 million •Galvin Park Soccer Pitch Construction (four pitches) - $874,000 •Neighbourhood park upgrade and renewal (city-wide) - $769,000 •Hogans Road change rooms, car park and part cost of Pavilion - $627,000 •Design of Williams Landing Oval - $431,000 (funded through developer contributions) •North Gateway Drive (Greens Rd to Feathertop Drive), Wyndham Vale - $405,000 •Design of Tarneit Library - $338,000 •Major Gateway Landscape program - $308,000 •Diggers Road Guard Rails - $205,000 Wyndham City has also proposed $1.11 million for new initiatives in key service delivery areas including: •Development of Signage for Historical Tourism Sites in Wyndham •Interactive Children’s Kiosks at three of Wyndham’s Libraries •Staging of increased events to further develop relationships with the business community •Increased tree planting in parks •Expansion of the City’s Senior’s Festival •Development of a site structure plan for 1160 Sayers Road •Environmental Risk Assessment, adaption Research and Modelling. Wyndham Mayor Cr Kim McAliney said the 2012/2013 proposed budget provided a balance between delivering vital services and capital works for the fastest growing City in the State while demonstrating financial responsibility. “While this draft budget has been months in the making, it’s not complete until we have heard from the community,” Cr McAliney said. “The first stage of community consultation allowed residents and community groups to have their say on what they would like to see in the budget. Items included in the proposed 2012/2013 budget based on previous community consultation include signage for historic sites in Wyndham and the creation of a fenced dog off lead park in Point Cook. We’re now asking residents to review the draft budget and submit their feedback before it is formally adopted next month.” “The proposed average rates increase of 5.5 per cent demonstrates Wyndham City’s commitment to reducing the burden on ratepayers, while allowing enough of an increase to fund vital projects and maintain financial sustainability. The residential rates increase is set at 4.54 per cent, however being a revaluation year – the rates increase or decrease could vary for each property depending on the valuation.” “Wyndham City’s proposed capital works program of $83.83 million provides vital capital works for the growing City, while demonstrating the necessary restraint to ensure long term financial sustainability in light of the broader economic climate. In 2012/13 Wyndham City is proposing to spend $45.74 on new assets and the remaining $38.09 million on asset upgrades, balancing the need to provide new infrastructure in growth areas with the need for renewal in more established suburbs.” “As part of the $83.83 capital works program, $37.08 million will be spent on buildings, $11.18 million on open space and associated developments and $29.13 million on roads and pavements.” “The proposed 2012/13 budget Council features over $4 million for services for young families. This includes $1.2 million on 93 kindergarten groups in 21 centres for approximately 2,050 children, almost $2.4 million for enhanced maternal and child health services for children from birth to 4 to support over 3,500 births anticipated this financial year and $346,472 for facilitated playgroup support for community run playgroups.” “Wyndham’s parks, gardens and reserves will also get a boost this budget, with 5 new sporting ovals to be constructed in 2012/2013 and $250,000 to be spent on planting trees in parks across the municipality, in addition to the $500,000 being spent on street trees. “Ultimately, the works and services provided by the proposed 2012/2013 budget are funded by ratepayers, so I encourage residents to take time to read through the document and have their say. In previous years, Wyndham City has been able to accommodate a number of different suggestions from funding for community groups to capital works at local sporting grounds.” A public meeting to discuss the proposed budget was held on Thursday, 24th May 2012. Residents and stakeholders then have until 5pm, on Monday, 11th June 2012 to provide feedback on what is proposed.

I've been told that due to some upgrade works in the exchange, I won't be able to get a home phone line until September. It's funny that they booked a technician to come down on the 3rd of July for new connection fee $129 but suddenly saying they can't do it. Thanks, Jay Re: williams landing 1950Jul 24, 2012 9:03 pm Need a boundary fence cos your one of the few land releases that didn't get it provided? Whatever you do do not use uneedafence , poor workmanship, unprofessional, disgraceful language, they are just awful! awful! awful!. My gate builder said hotwater units are being stolen even 6m after moving in. Daytimes in WL, WW, arndell anywhere its near a construction area. WL stage 8 Palmers rd Re: williams landing 1951Jul 24, 2012 10:08 pm Hi, All! I have just looked at VicRoads website and there is nothing about Palmers rd extension from the Williams Landing train station to the existing Palmers rd on Williams Landing side. The Palmers rd project that is due for completion this year is only for the bridge, to connect Pt Cook to Williams Landing town centre. So, does that mean we won't be able to access the train station directly? ----------edited----------- I meant, Public Transport Website: http://enews-williamslanding.ptv.vic.gov.au/ First paragraph, last sentece: "Palmers Road is being extended to link the station and Williams Landing town centre with the Princes freeway and Point Cook. It will also be widened from three to five lanes." Wondering when Palmers rd will fully connect Sayers rd and the Freeway. hello, Williams Landing! Re: williams landing 1952Jul 25, 2012 7:26 am I would think that Cedar Woods would be doing Palmers road to meet up with the gvt funded works, and it seems that there is work going on there now... maybe someone else can confirm? I am waiting for an update to Nearmap to get a good overview of where things are at. Re: williams landing 1953Jul 25, 2012 12:15 pm I hope so I had been so excited about this Palmers rd extension work until I re-checked the PT website, and re-read the update, and realised that the Govt is 'only' doing the bridge up to the proposed town centre. I really can't wait until we have direct access to freeway and Pt Cook! hello, Williams Landing! Re: williams landing 1954Jul 27, 2012 5:52 pm August edition of Wyndham Roads Bulletin.

Firstly a huge thanks to a neighbour who had coincidentally gone through the same issues as us, valuation coming under etc. We are now on our way to build our first home...finally things are looking better We had site clean up on the 30/07 . As usual our CLE won't give us any dates regarding completion, so fellow H1'ers any estimations you would like to make for a double storey house? I am aware of the number of days they have put into our HIA contract...but am sure most builds get completed much before..specially CH has a reputation for finishing quite early!! We have opted to build using Hebel as we love the rendered look and are also delighted to be going green in whatever way we can... cheers, koms CH: Albany 40 | Site Clean: 30/07/12 | Site cut: 01/08/12 | Slab: 13/08/12 | Frame: 24/08/12 | Roof: 05/09/12 |Lock up: 28/09/12 | PCI: ... | Handover: 30/11/12 | Moved in: 09/12/12 2 2937 I am looking to design an entry door to a lower ground basement that has 2200mm between the external entry height to FFL of the ground floor.
