General meeting held on Saturday 13th. June

Firstly we wish to thank all on the people who took the time to join us on Saturday for the General Meeting and sausage sizzle. We also welcome our new members:
Milton and Laureen Drake
Bill and Meryl Pearce
Fred Pereira and
Michael and Lindsey Emmott
thank you for joining us and we hope you will contribute, if and when you find the time.

We had 28 people attend our meeting, which is great for a Saturday morning. Our sausage sizzle was cooked by the ladies, which is a bit of a change for an Australian BBQ. Talking to the men after it was agreed the ladies all passed the BBQ test and are invited to do the same next time.

From the Meeting

Neighbourhood Watch
It was agreed by the meeting that the committee should call a community meeting to discuss the whole issue and to elect a steering committee. Tony Mohr will raise the issue with Mark McArdle at their meeting and arrange for Marks office to print the broaches required.


Naming of Parks
The meeting agreed to start the procedure required to name the main Park in Bellvista. When that is successful we will proceed to name the remaining parks.


Landscaping sub-committee
After some discussion it was agreed the Association needs a landscaping sup-committee to meet with other organisations and the SCRC in an effort to maintain Bellvista in the manner we have become accustomed. Colin Murphy is the chair of the sub-committee and will report back in due course.


Sewage problem
This issue was discussed at length and the members were happy that the council had at long last agreed with residents that there was a problem. After some work and repairs to the system by the SCRC it was also agreed there has been a great improvement. Residents were encouraged to report any failures direct to the SCRC using the "Request for Service" system on the Council web site. See below:

Web Site
It was reported to the meeting that the web site will soon be up and running. Les Thomas will be looking after the site, so if you have any ideas please contact Les and discuss the matter with him. If you wish to see what the site looks like just click on the link below

Retail complex
The only news on this issue was from Dale Massie who reported that a community impact statement was in the process on being completed, and he would report back to our association when he has any further news.


Seat at bus stop
Viv Murphy raised the issue of a seat at the bus stop near 31 O'Reilly Dr. It was stated that some of our elderly residents use the stop and a seat there was required. Tony Mohr will approach Anna Grosskreutz and start the process to gain the seat.


AGM
Our next General Meeting will be in fact our first Annual General Meeting, this will be on Monday the 7th September. Time and venue will be published later in our Newsletter. The AGM is your chance to have your say and if you wish stand for any position on the committee. If you wish to stand for any position just contact the Secretary (Tony Mohr) and he will forward you the necessary paperwork.

Just a reminder to all about our general meeting to be held on Saturday 13th. June in the main lake park in Bellviata at about 11:30 am. Following the meeting we will be holding a family sausage sizzle. If it is raining we will hold the meeting in the sales office.

Committee meeting 1 June 09

Our committee meeting started with the resignation of Roger Tedmanson. Roger is off on a around Australian holiday and thought it in the best interest of the Association to resign now so we are able to bring in a new committee member to carry on his fine work. Roger has been working hard over the last few weeks to get our web site up and running. We wish Roger and his wife all the best for their trip and hope to see them back safe and sound in the near future.

Under our constitutions rule 21(1) we were able to elect Les Thomas onto our committee. As an ex school principal Les brings a wealth of knowledge to our Association. Les has been working with Roger on the web site and will take over as web coordinator. We all look forward to working with Les.

Our newsletter will be delivered on the weekend 6&7 June, please read it and we welcome any feed back you may be able to offer.

As stated above, our web site is just about complete. The home page may be view on the following link http://www.devision.com.au/clients/bellvista/ over the next week or so it will be populated and be brought on line. Les Thomas will give us all a report on it's future at our general meeting 13th. June 09.

The general meeting on Saturday 13th. June will be a 11:30 start followed by a family BBQ at the main lake park in Bellvista. If it's raining we will revert to the sales office. We look forward to seeing you all there. The following points will be discussed at the meeting:
  • Neighbour Watch
  • Naming of parks in Bellvista
  • Landscaping sub-committee
  • Sewage overflow problems
  • Web site
  • Update on retail complex
  • Plus any other topics from the floor.
