Council invited feedback on a proposal to discontinue and sell a portion of Richardson Street, Nathalia defined in Plan of Subdivision 1315 Parish of Barwo County of Moira (area shaded red on the map).
Council received a request from an adjoining land owner of an industrial property in Richardson Street Nathalia to purchase a further section of the road reserve from Council.
The east-west portion of Richardson Street Nathalia was also discontinued and sold to the same property owner in 2019, for the purpose of business development.
The process for council to discontinue a road is defined in Section 12 of the Road Management Act 2004 and Schedule 10 Clause 3 of the Local Government Act 1989.
The process for council to sell public owned land is defined in Section 114 of the Local Government Act 2020 and the Local Government Best Practice Guideline for the Sale, Exchange & Transfer of Land.
Both processes require council to seek community feedback on the proposal before making a decision to proceed or otherwise.
Council sought feedback on this proposal in accordance with Section 223 of the Local Government Act 1989. Community feedback closed at 5pm on 28 April 2021.
