Over the past 12 months I have had the privilege to work beside a very dedicated group of people who have given up a lot of time and effort to make Point Cook and Seabrook a much better place to live and spend time with family and friends.

Some of the issues that have haunted us as residents over the past 12 months and earlier, with some that still are causing concern is traffic and roads, essential services, as well as environmental and landscaping issues.

1. You must live locally, and
2. You must become a member of the Point Cook Residents' Association.

So What's The Difference Between Registration & Membership?

Well actually, not a great deal.

• Both give you access to a great comunity website full of community news, information, and events.
• Both allow you to post your thoughts, comments and questions on the 'Your Voice' Forum, where you can raise community issues and discuss with other like-minded people.
• Both will give you access to an electronic copy of 'the Point', emailed directly to you every month (that's right, we are going monthly again).
• Both will allow us to email information directly to you about topics that you've expressed an interest in.

The main difference is in the extras.

Update on contract for Forsyth Rd lights
Also as a result of the meeting between Lynne Kosky and representatives of Wyndham, Hobsons Bay Council and representation from the PCRA, additional funding was approved on the same day from Spring Street for the long awaited signalization of the ramps on the northern side (Melbourne bound lanes) of the Forsyth Rd overpass. These lights will hopefully be installed and in operation in the first quarter of 07. Not before time if you use the freeway access on a regular basis.

Major News.

Following a number of major incidents on our local roads, the PCRA has been requesting that our Local and State elected officials get together to address a number of very dangerous major blackspots within the Point Cook area.

As a result of that meeting last Friday, we received this information today (Monday) from Wyndham CEO Ian Robbins.

"Advice has been received that the contract for the installation of traffic signals and associated works at the Princes Freeway / Forsyth Road on and off ramps was awarded to Tyco on August 11.  The works are scheduled to be completed by the end of the year."

Who really is responsible?

We promised you a community notice board with a smile, and here it is! 'Your Voice' now has a section on jokes and humour, hopefully with a distinctly local flavour, that will raise up even the dullest spirits.

Just click on the smiley face, or visit the 'Your Voice' forum, and look for the section on 'Local Jokes"

There's a already a choice selection of some very fine jokes, with much more to come. Feel free to browse around & read them.

If you think you can do better, then simply register on the site & you'll be able to post your own jokes and funny stories for all of Point Cook to see.
