March 2010 Update - The Return!
Welcome back to Rooleyson! After two months of arguments, red hot debating and numerous protests while business went down the drain along with many people, the city council has replied and the RBA (Rooleyson Buses Association) has been formed and the first routes and fleets of Rooleyson Buses have been made and released. Since then, people have come back, businesses have been able to work again, and traffic flow is much smoother and passenger services are increasing. As this has only been recent though, further development on Rooleyson has been very little over the past 2 months, but as well as the RBs (Rooleyson Buses), the Stanworth Shopping Centre, Cinema and Bus Terminal have been completed, a new lookout restaurant and helipad have been built on Morawee Hill and the Rooleyson Reforestation Project (RRP) has been formed and has started progress throughout Rooleyson, bringing trees back to life, and all the roads have had a major upgrade.

Rooleyson Buses Association
The RBA is an association of the Rooleyson City Council to help deliver buses and manage bus routes effectively and efficiently. Their headquarters is located down the main road from the Rooleyson City Library. There are currently 4 lines running at the moment, 3 of them normal bus lines and one double decker bus line called the Inner City Circuit. More information on the bus routes will come in a future update on the RBA. There are currently two main bus terminals, a large one located right next to the Rooleyson City Hall, and a small bus terminal at the Stanworth Shopping Centre.

Stanworth Shopping Centre
After many months under construction and planning, the Stanworth Shopping Centre has been completed and is open to the public. Unfortunately, some nearby offices and houses were demolished, along with the old cinema complex. The area has been redesigned and constructed with new offices, the shopping centre, a new Stanworth Cinema Complex as well as the Stanworth Bus Terminal.

Morawee Hill Lookout
The Morawee Hill Lookout was built after it was suggested to build a lookout in a place that had the best view of the city, to attract citizens and tourists. Located down the road from the Morawee Hill Wind Farms, the lookout consists of a restaurant, a pub and a helipad centre for joy flights and air services. A park is also in the centre as well.

Rooleyson Reforestation Project (RRP)
The RRP was formed after many complaints came in from the community about little trees around the area and of the lack of beauty from several tourists. The development of Rooleyson has resulted in the loss of many forests and trees around the area. The main aim of the RRP is to fill up suburban Rooleyson with many trees, making it a more greener and healthier city. A forest area in the botanical gardens is also currently in future plans. At the moment, the RRP has been starting to grow trees back along the highways, all over the northern suburbs and on Kathine Hill.

Upgraded/New Roads
The roads of Rooleyson have had a mega upgrade and have been extensively reworked on. The new look and style suits the city very well and is much welcomed by the citizens. The roads have been cleaned out and upgraded to make it more safe as well as giving the city a whole new look on the ground.

To those who are new to The Rooleyson Journal, welcome, and enjoy your time following this! 
Anyway, it's good to have this city back up and running, with a whole new look with the trees, roads and buses.
Stay tuned to The Rooleyson Journal for more on the buses, Kathine Hill, the south-western inner city suburbs, southern and western suburbs, more farmland and communities and the possibility of a planned city tram system.
