Dear Noel

Thanks to the Council and your staff for the help you gave BIG W in establishing our Northern Distribution Centre in Warwick.

The foresight of the Council in creating the industrial estate and providing infrastructure and amenities is to be congratulated.

The operation is now in its third year of operation and has met all of our expectations.

The retail store in the Rose Shopping Centre has also been successful and this has been a great development for this town.

Our thanks go to the Council and the people of Warwick for embracing and supporting our operations.

Your sincerely

K R J McMORRON
Chief General Manager

To Whom it May Concern

Re: Tomorrow's Warwick

This company has had an interest in Warwick, and the Rose City Centre, for 14 years, and during 1997 and early 1998, saw the need to develop the centre, into Rose City Shoppingworld.

We now boast a Big W Discount Department store, Woolworths and Bi-Lo supermarkets, and Fosseys, along with 38 specialty retailers.

Everyone here, including this company, feels that with what has happened here in recent times, plus what is planned and under discussion to happen, Warwick is about to explode into its full potential.

The city is located at the junction of three major highways, and is situated perfectly to service retail, general and rural services, to the entire southern Downs, and beyond.

In fact, in our shopper surveys, over 34% of our customers, don't live in Warwick shire.

People are starting to regularly do business here in Warwick and Tenterfield, Goondiwindi, Woodenbong, Clifton and Aratula, and all places in between.

A strong, positive lead for the shire's growth and development is being shown by members of Warwick Shire Council, Councillors and executive members, and with what we have experienced here, to this date, we are fully supportive of the Council's initiatives, and encourage business, in all forms, to have a close lookm, at Warwick, the best in town and country living.

For further discussion, feel free to contact me on (07) 4667 0142.

Your faithfully

Bob Loxley Centre Manager Rose City Shoppingworld
