Hall and Collage Tariffs
Tariff changes at Halls and Colleges are an important situation in which students should always be kept aware of. Synergize will look closely at making sure that students are consulted with on all changes made with regards to tariffs and upfront deposits and fees.

Accommodation Guarantee
2006 will see a continuation of both the first and later year student guarantee for ANU approved accommodation. The success of this guarantee in 2004 has seen a vast improvement in the lines of communication between the University Accommodation Service, the presidents of the Halls and Colleges and the president of ANUSA this year. Synergize would like to see this co-operation continue to ensure that all students who live in Halls, Colleges or other ANU approved accommodation are made aware of the decisions made by the university in regard to students living arrangements.

City West Development
The City West development, which will see the creation of accommodation for over 500 students and set to open in 2007, is set to alleviate many of the problems that have arisen over the last few years. However, there are a few areas in which it will be important for next years executive. These include:

• Ensuring that there is enough parking for residents so that existing campus parking is not placed under further pressure
  
• That tariffs are kept at affordable prices
  
• That there be sufficient support for students in the City West Accommodation both pastoral and academic in order to foster a sense of community
  
• Make sure that Dolly’s is not evicted from campus!
  
• Making sure that the businesses that establish themselves in the area are not just student friendly, but also able to hire students living in the area.
