President’s Report – August 2024
The website www.newportwaters.com continues to be updated and is the window for waterways history and information on our Association.
Our email address nwpoa@newportwaters.com is always monitored and questions will be answered. My thanks to our secretary Susan Martin-Baker for monitoring and managing responses.
NWAG and Newport Lakes Body Corporate (NLBC).
Our new committee members Morgan Grant and Andrew Kelly attended the August NWAG meeting and were valued contributors. Once the August NWAG minutes are received they wil be circulated to our members and will be interesting reading.
NWPOA has been in contact with Newport Lakes Body corporate and as a result they had their Secretary at the August NWAG meeting. All Lake residence pay a canal levy of $900 a property. There will be around 200 Lake properties when developed. The Body Corporate is keen to ensure value for their contribution. We are working together through council to ensure the best future outcome for Newport Waterways and Newport Lakes. The council discussion will be challenging and we will keep members informed.
