Investigation into the potential disposal of part of 10 Bucaan Street, Chigwell
Glenorchy City Council is seeking feedback from the community about the potential disposal of Council owned land at part of 10 Bucaan Street, Chigwell (the Land) by way of donation to Bucaan Community House, which is outlined in red below.
The land is zoned as Community Purpose. The area of land requested is approximately 850 sqm and is directly adjacent to Bucaan Community House.
Bucaan Community House provide essential services to the local community and need to expand their current building in order to provide for a growth in services. Should Council approve the investigations and subsequent property disposal of part of 10 Bucaan Street, Chigwell, the additional land would enable Bucaan Community House to pursue expansion of their facility and services to the community.
The first step in the disposal process is to conduct community engagement on the proposal, where any issues or concerns can be raised by the community and brought back to Council for consideration before any further decision is made. Do you have any significant concerns about the proposed disposal of this property?
Before deciding whether to proceed with the formal land disposal process, as set out in section 178 of the Local Government Act 1993, Council officers invite you to have your say. You can provide your feedback by logging into your Let's Talk account (or registering) to complete the survey below.
Your feedback will assist in the development of a report and recommendation to Council on whether to proceed to the next stage of disposal. This report will be considered by Council at a future Council Meeting in 2025.
If approved, the next stage of the process will be for officers to advertise the disposal formally through a section 178 process set out in the Local Government Act 1993. This will be advertised via Council’s website and Facebook page as well as in the Mercury, in the Council Chambers and a notice placed on the property to provide all residents with the opportunity to object to any proposal.
