Environment and Community Committee - 14 April 2026

Key decisions

• Properties classified as surplus
  The committee resolved that the freehold properties listed in Attachment 1 of the confidential report "Disposal of Surplus Property" be categorised as surplus to Council’s requirements.
  This is an early step toward possible disposal of council-held land or property assets, which may affect future land use or ownership.
• State Reserve parcels classified as surplus
  The committee resolved that the State Reserve land parcels listed in Attachment 2 of the confidential report "Disposal of Surplus Property" be categorised as surplus to Council’s requirements.
  This may lead to future changes in management or disposal of reserve land, depending on later council actions and approvals.

Important topics

• Confidential disposal of surplus property
  The only substantive business was a confidential report on disposal of surplus property. The meeting was closed to the public because discussion of commercial negotiations could prejudice the interests of the local government or another party.
  Residents are informed that a property disposal matter was decided, but the specific properties were not publicly identified in the extracted text.

Resident impacts

• Council has taken a formal step toward disposing of some council-related land assets.
• The specific affected properties were contained in confidential attachments and are not named in the public extract.
• Any future sale, transfer, or change in land status may have local impacts once further details become public.

Next steps

• Proceed with the surplus classification outcome for the freehold properties listed in confidential Attachment 1.
  Following the committee resolution
• Proceed with the surplus classification outcome for the State Reserve land parcels listed in confidential Attachment 2.
  Following the committee resolution
• Any later disposal or related property actions would need to occur through subsequent council processes.
