It's official. Wyndham, as part of the outer west, is now growing faster than the Gold Coast, making it the most popular place in Australia for people to move to and call home. While this data from KPMG heralds what many have long known, it highlights the extraordinary change the west is undergoing.
The Banner - one of the oldest publications in the west - and its more recent sister paper in Point Cook, are changing too.
It has been an important part of the lives of locals, the vital conduit for information and the platform for local causes. But as Point Cook changes so is its paper. Now under the new banner of Point Cook Weekly, it dons a modern new livery to continue this role.
What you the reader can go on expecting every week is the best coverage on the most important local news and sport. Your favourite local newspaper will be packaged in a compact format, cleaner and easier to read. One of the exciting additions is a weekly feature story on the region, the issues that inspire and define its residents. We have expanded our Your Say section because feedback from the community is the stuff we thrive on. So let us know what you think about the issues that matter to you.
The Banner is a proud part of the region's past; with these changes we are confident the Weekly will remain part of its future.
We are not only keeping it alive, we are keeping it relevant because we remain committed to the role the Banner always had: being the voice of the community. At its heart this publication is what it has always been, the journal of the community. Enjoy.
