Sanctuary Lakes Foundation
 The Sanctuary Lakes Foundation has been developing an important role in Sanctuary Lakes Resort and the broader community for a number of years.

The following is aimed at alerting Sanctuary Lakes Residents to the ongoing and growing role of the Sanctuary Lakes Foundation, opportunities to establish contact and discuss potential projects. 
 
Foundation  Objectives
The Committee's objectives are:
* To plan, organize, promote and run fundraising activities
* To receive and consider written applications from Members and Residents for assistance in improving their sporting or artistic pursuits
* To consider and implement programs and events that will develop, foster and promote sport and the arts  
 
Foundation's  History 
Sanctuary Lakes Foundation's genesis occurred in the early stages of the Resorts' Development.  It was envisaged that the Foundation would serve as a vehicle to develop young elite golfers within the Club such as Cameron Percey, Chris Hynes and Kate
McIntosh.  

In recent times the Foundation's objectives have been broadened with an increased emphasis on junior development in both sports and the arts, which includes the following:
*  Increase the uptake and participation of young people
*  Encourage and foster development in their chosen field
*  Assist Sanctuary Lakes representative teams in their formation and competitive endeavours. 

The Foundation raises funds through the successful annual golf and auction day, raffles and other events throughout the year.  

The Foundation has already considered numerous written applications for assistance and provided support to:
* Professional golfers - Kate McIntosh, Adam Fraser
* Elite junior golfers
* Junior Pennant Team through uniforms & clinics
* Junior tennis players through providing Australian Open Tennis tickets
 
Other activities that are currently being planned include junior golf trips incorporating clinics, practice and golf.
 
The Foundation would consider fundraising proposals and initiatives, activities for young people in various fields such as arts, science, sport entertainment and provide support for worthwhile programs and or individuals. 
 
 Volunteer help, ideas and suggestion are always welcomed by the
Foundation as it seeks to meet its objectives.

Vacuum Sewer Smell being resolved
 
The Club is pleased to report that action is being taken to get rid of the noticeable smell from the vacuum sewer station around the 15th hole/Jardin estate as outlined in the open letter below from City West Water.

City West Water operates a vacuum sewerage system which services parts of the Sanctuary Lakes Estate.

This system's collection pump station is located in Vaucluse Boulevard, and City West Water is currently treating exhaust from the pump station to neutralise odour.
 
As a result of recent enquiries regarding odour, City West Water has reviewed our treatment process and increased dosing. We will also be undertaking additional monitoring at the site.

As a result of growth within the estate, and to provide reliable odour control, City West Water has recently agreed in principle to the upgrade of the odour control system at the pump station. Under an existing agreement, these works will be carried out by Verve Project Management on behalf of Links Living.

A works program has been prepared by Verve Project Management and it is anticipated the new odour control works will be commissioned in February 2008.
The new odour control system is designed to comply with EPA requirements.

We appreciate feedback from customers regarding this matter. Customers are asked to notify our 24 hour service centre on
1800 13 26 42 to report any issues related to odour.

If you have any further enquiries regarding this matter,
please feel free to contact Ted Szyzska on 9313 8531.
