December Public Meeting, December 5th 2009:

The report below was taken from the News and Events section of the Bellvista Community Association website. The site can be visited at: http://www.bellvista.com.au/

A small but active group met at the main Bellvista Lake rotunda for a Christmas Public meeting. The onset of Christmas and associated events meant the number of Committee Members and residents was down on previous gatherings.

There were brief reports on The Web Page, The Airport Forum and a Landscaping Sub Committee update. The Airport Forum has produced a process where Bellvista Residents will be able to voice concerns of inappropriate aircraft behaviour over our estate directly to Airport Management. Look out for this when the ‘official’ minutes of the meeting are posted here.

The Landscaping Committee reported the Lake had been cleaned again, the Do Not Feed signs were in place and steps were in place to address graffiti in the main park area.

Our Councillor has recently had treatment on an eye so her work for the BeCA was currently on hold.

The meeting was then opened for residents to raise concerns:

1. The playground equipment in the park on the corner of Nebo Street and Northbrook Street is not suitable for under 5’s. This park is popular with local residents with the BBQ area there frequently used, However the installed playground equipment seems to be for children above 5 years of age.

2. There is a need for a Keep Clear area on Bellvista Blvd where it intersects with Bellcara Place. At Unity College pick times it is extremely difficult for residents to make a right hand turn from Bellcara Place into Bellvista Blvd as traffic can be backed up down from the roundabout at Caloundra Rd.

3. A Fund Raising Monster Garage Sale was suggested. Details will be passed on to the Secretary.

These issues will be placed on the agenda for the next BeCA Committee Mtg early 2010.

The Chairperson wished all residents the best for the new season and closed the meeting.

This hefty looking machine recently was put to work in clearing some unwanted growth from the lower Bellvista Lake. A closer inspection of the top lake showed it was fine and that no clearing was required. BeCA spoke with an SCRC representative onsite who reported she was very happy with the condition of the lake.

She went on to say that it appears residents are taking note of the No Feeding signs now around the lake as the number of birds has not increased and birds no longer follow or swim up to people as they approach the water. She seemed extremely pleased with the community response on this issue.


Bellvista Shopping Complex

We have received news from Mal Pratt & Associates that they have leased a Pharmacy, family medical centre and bakery cafe. They also have an appointment next week with a hairdresser.

Power has been connected to the site in anticipation of commencement of the project.

A community Notice board has been incorporated in the project.

Julie Frasa on behalf of Mal Pratt & Associates wished all of Bellvista a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
