Council received an enquiry from an adjoining land owner to purchase Council land on the corner of Punt Road and Murray Valley Highway, Cobram (Lot 159 LP1834)(PDF, 56KB) for the purpose of further business development.

The land is approximately 152 square meters and is zoned Commercial 1. The land has been identified as surplus to requirements by Council Officers and, due to its small size and restricted access, has limitations for Council use and limitations for development. The appeal of the land is limited to owners/developers of the adjacent property. 

If Council resolves to sell the land, a separate and subsequent sale process may involve a public auction, tender, private treaty or any other method as determined by the Chief Executive Officer in accordance with the Local Government Best Practice Guidelines.

Council sought community feedback on this proposal in accordance with Council's Community Engagement Policy and Section 223 of the Local Government Act 1989.

Submissions for this proposal closed at 5pm on Friday 30 December 2022. No submissions were received.
