Proposed sale of reserve land at 17 Sutton Court, Andergrove

This consultation is closed.

Consultation determined that the community still utilises the reserve land for its intended purpose and that most respondents objected to the land being sold for private use. As the community has demonstrated a need for the land to remain a Reserve for Parks and Recreation, council has decided not to support an application being made to the Department of Resources by the owner/s of 31 Cabbage Tree Road, Andergrove, to purchase a portion of the reserve land.

Mackay Regional Council has received a request from the owners of 31 Cabbage Tree Road, Andergrove to make an application to the Department of Resources to purchase an area of reserve land at 17 Sutton Court, Andergrove which adjoins their property.

The land area proposed to be purchased is approximately 533m2 and is owned by the Department of Resources, with council acting as trustee to the land.

• The existing garden bed (including edging and irrigation) will be removed by the applicant and the area returfed at the cost of the applicant.
