Academic
Director's Function
Just over 100 staff and members of the Monash University Caulfield

enjoyed entertainment provided by the talents of Monash
staff. Terry Hogan (vocals and lead guitar), Rod Thomas (drums)
Jeremy Du Ve (saxophone) and Mark Hartwell (bass guitar). Rob Willis and

Underground Water Tanks
During
December 2005 Facilities & Services undertook works for the installation
of 170,000 litre underground water tanks on the common lawn outside
Buildings K and N. Rain water from the roofs of Buildings K and N will
be captured and re-directed to the underground tanks. This water
will be utilised for the irrigation of the common lawn and it is hoped
to extend the use of the tanks to other areas around campus, to include
garden beds and possibly the flushing water for toilets. Notices
will be issued at various times advising the volumes of water saved.

Rectification
works to the common lawn will commence early next week.
Sir John Monash
Drive Roundabout
The roundabout situated at Sir John Monash Drive and
Queens Avenue has always been a hazardous area for both pedestrians and
vehicles. Facilities & Services, in conjunction with The City of
Glen Eira, undertook works to improve the functionality and safety of the
existing roundabout.
(above & below - Roundabout at
Sir John Monash Drive & Queens Avenue)
 By introducing
new signage, road markings and flashing pedestrian lights, a safe
environment for pedestrian and vehicular traffic has been achieved. In
addition, the new roundabout has been designed with aesthetically pleasing
features such as the palm tree centre piece which blends in with the
existing surroundings.
