Project update: May 8, 2025

The consultation activities undertaken for 17 Sutton Court, Andergrove, between September to October 2024, determined that the community still utilises the reserve land for its intended purpose of a Reserve for Recreation and that most respondents objected to the land being sold for private use.

The community demonstrated that the land was required for outdoor activities, a nesting area for local native fauna, and that it contributed to the character and atmosphere of the residential court.

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.
