A warm welcome to two AMSBM Property Managers who will be overseeing Formosa Garden and serve as the primary point of contact for residents.
Savannah Cox (Senior Property Manager) joins the Formosa team with extensive experience from her many years with AMSBM. She will be supported by Georgia Smith (Assistant Property Manager) with day to day administration. Both Savannah and Georgia are excited to get to know the garden and its vibrant community.
These changes follow Sarah Hope’s decision to accept an attractive opportunity with another organisation, and Elise Robyn-Williams’ well-deserved internal promotion. While warmly welcoming Savannah and Georgia to their new roles, the Board would also like to extend sincere thanks to Sarah and Elise for their contributions during the transition from our previous Managing Agent. We wish them every success in their future endeavours.

For those who dread the onset of Winter there's brighter news from this Sunday (Nov 23) when the big tree in Formosa will again be lit up through until the end of February. Sadly it's not quite the spectacle it's been of recent years as when the lights were switched on briefly at the end of the Bonfire Night celebrations, as has become customary, it was found that around a third of the bulbs were no longer working. Rather than attempting to fix the problem this year with its old supplier (who've proved themselves to be less than reliable) & meanwhile run the risk of nights of darkness through at least part of the Winter the Board has decided to go ahead with the partial switch-on at 6 pm this Sunday. They then plan to get the full light show back on track in time for next year!
