Glenorchy City Council has sought 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.

Following initial consultation with surrounding property owners in June 2025, Council decided at its meeting on the 28 July 2025 to notify the public of Council’s intention to dispose of this property.

Under section 178 of the Local Government Act 1993 (the Act) Council is required to notify the community of any proposal to sell public land and provide the community with an opportunity to have their views heard.

A 21-day public notification period begins from Monday, 11 August 2025. This means there are 21 days, from 11 August 2025, to raise any objection to the proposed disposal. If you wish to object, you must do so in writing to the Chief Executive Officer at the postal or email address below.

Any objections received will be considered by the Council at a future Council meeting in accordance with subsection 178(6) of the Act.

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.
