A brilliant year

It’s going to be a brilliant year in Mawson Lakes. Signs of prosperity and wellbeing abound.

New businesses are opening up, our university campus is pushing the frontiers of research, our population is expanding, our children are growing and gaining knowledge, more houses are being built and a variety of events are on the calendar. All these things are reported in the pages that follow.

From this issue the Mawson Lakes Directory takes on a new look and name to become Mawson Lakes Living . The primary mission of this community magazine is to report on local things that are of interest to you.

There’s also a new community website. Go to www.mawsonlakesliving.info where you will find a smorgasbord of information on shops, facilities and businesses in ML and how to connect your business to the website.

Living , as the magazine is called, will be hosting a number of community events this year with the assistance of volunteer enthusiasts. If you’d like to be involved give me a call. In the meantime, tentative dates are listed for your diary.

“The is a superb booklet and I use it all the time. I look up services and use them, and when I see a new business I go and try it out. I buy my seafood here, get my hair cut, enjoy a coffee, shop for clothes and food and even get my keys cut by the locksmith who advertises in the magazine.”
