05/12/2007 · Progress Association · Port Bouvard Community Survey
Residents and Ratepayers are reporting to the GPA that they have not received copies of this Survey. Unfortunately it took the form of a letter drop rather than a mailing out from the Rate List.
Copies of the Survey form are available from the Gidgegannup Newsagents. If the round trip is not convenient or too lengthy please call SMR on 9480 0470 asking to speak to Samantha Reece or Debra Wilson or contact SMR by email.
The Gidgegannup Progress Association would suggest that if you wish to have your views known you complete and return this survey.
We are told by SMR that further community consultation will take place in the form of workshops early next year.
We are also informed by SMR that not only have the desk top plans presented last October 2006 to the community been discarded, but so have the suggested block sizes and numbers of lots as outlined in Media Releases on the Port Bouvard website and on the ASX site. This is pending community consultation – so absolutely no plans whatsoever.
Also SMR confirm that there has been no discussion between Port Bouvard and Riseley Investments re. contribution of finances to the scheme water infrastructure.
