Ripley Valley Project Update
Amex is pleased to announce that the first stage application for the Amex Ripley Project was submitted to the Urban Land Development Authority (ULDA) on 12th November 2010. This is a significant milestone for the project as it represents the culmination of approximately five (5) years work with the Ipswich City Council, the Queensland Government and key landowners in the Ripley Valley to achieve this. The ULDA anticipate issuing approvals in a relatively short timeframe (3-6 months) to enable construction to commence in mid 2011, thereby coinciding with the Premier's desire for commencement of delivery of affordable housing soon thereafter.

Ripley Valley Project Update
The Queensland Premier & Minister for Infrastructure and Planning jointly announced on 27th September 2010 that Cabinet had endorsed Ripley as an Urban Development Area (UDA). With an overall goal of promoting affordable housing, the endorsement is a significant step forward since the Premier's announcement in May 2010 for the Ripley Valley to be administered by the Urban Land Development Authority (ULDA). Effectively, this opens the way for development applications to be submitted to the ULDA for the initial stages of the Amex Ripley Project (ARP) and those applications are currently being finalised by the ARP team. The ARP team welcomes the Premier's announcement and looks forward to working closely with the ULDA and Ipswich City Council to procure the necessary approvals enabling development to commence in mid 2011.

Amex sponsors Kwinana Children's Choir
Amex Corporation has committed to a three year sponsorship of Kwinana Children's Choir in Western Australia.
The sponsorship will fund a Musical Director and uniforms for the children, as well as providing opportunities for the Choir to perform, according to Choir manager Tanya Dupagne.
"Amex's support will really help us to establish the choir on a proper footing," Tanya said.
"Our aim is to plug a gap in children's music programs in the Kwinana area, by providing a fun and structured musical outlet for children aged 6 to 12, under the guidance of a fully qualified and experienced Musical Director."
Two auditions have already been held, with 21 children selected for the Choir.
Musical Director Michelle Mrzyglocki is keen to see the children exposed to a wide range of musical styles, from traditional songs to new and current music.
"While developing musical ability is a key focus of the choir, we also want to make sure the kids have fun and enjoy their rehearsals and performances," Michelle said.
"This is why we make sure our repertoire includes a lot of popular tunes, as well as the more formal and classical songs that stretch the children's ability."
The Kwinana Children's Choir has the potential to make a real contribution to the community, according to Amex Corporation Director Cameron Shephard.
"We are really pleased to have this opportunity to sponsor the Choir," Cameron said.
"We believe it offers a real service to local children and fills a gap that no-one else is filling. It's relatively easy to get kids involved in sport but there are fewer opportunities to get your kids involved in music, and it is great to be able to support something that provides that choice."
To find out where and when the choir is next performing, or to check audition times, go to www.koorliny.com.au or email tanya@koorliny.com.au.

Held the weekend before the Rottnest Channel Swim, the Team Sprint Cup is a unique sprint swimming team event based on a 6 x 50m relay format, where teams can be formed through corporate ties, social groups, sporting clubs and families. While the Amex swim team was outclassed on the day, we were proud to participate in an event which raised over $110,000 for Autism West. These funds will support Autism West’s ongoing work in providing families with the practical and emotional support they need to help their Autistic child reach their full potential and integrate effectively within their community.

Increased Demand for Lots at Tuart Ridge
Bringing forward a planned land release to meet pent up demand has proved successful at Amex’s Tuart Ridge development in Baldivis, with more than half of the 20 Stage 6 homesites released selling in a weekend.
"This stage of Tuart Ridge is not due to be completed until early March, but we had so many people who registered their interest before Christmas that we decided to fast track 20 homesites to meet the demand," Amex State Manager Ian McKee said. "The response has been so strong that we intend to release further lots in Stage 6 prior to completion of construction works".
"The fact that these purchasers were prepared to wait three months for a homesite to become available in Tuart Ridge is a huge vote of confidence in the estate."
The homesites, which were released on Saturday 30 January, are in a premium location in the development, on elevated land with magnificent views across to the Darling Ranges. Priced from $185,000 to $265,000, the lots ranged in size from 533m2 to 736m2.
The development is appealing to purchasers who appreciate quality and see their family home as a major investment, according to Ian.
"We are seeing a lot of astute buyers coming in to Tuart Ridge who are actively looking for a development where their investment in their home is protected by strict design guidelines that ensure all houses are of a high quality."
"Purchasers are reassured that their neighbours' homes will be of a similar standard and quality as their own, creating attractive streetscapes and adding to the overall value of their investment."
The Tuart Ridge design covenants specify a minimum house size of 200m2, which is attracting purchasers who want to build a more substantial home with a higher quality specification.
The opening of the temporary Early Childhood component of the Primary School also marks a milestone for the estate, with a brand new permanent primary school for children from Kindergarten to Year 12 due to open at Tuart Ridge in 2012. The Primary School is adjacent to the Tuart Ridge village centre, which will become the heart of the Tuart Ridge community, featuring local shops, cafes and the school.
