What is the land parcel there for and its current use?
This reserve was formed in 1992 when a larger parcel of land was subdivided to produce the residential allotments in the Sissons Road and Formby Street area of Strathalbyn. The reserve has never been developed beyond some perimeter planting and occasional slashing of plant growth.
Where is it located?
The land is located on the eastern side of Sissons Road, opposite the junction with Formby Street.
Council Proposal
The revocation of the 3 Sissons Road Strathalbyn land will enable sale for residential development to occur. It is intended if supported, that the sale of the land parcel at 3 Sissons Road, Strathalbyn will take place by way of an open and public disposal process.
Community benefit
Proceeds from the sale of the 3 Sissons Road land provides an opportunity to re-invest into other identified projects, pay down debt or develop land parcels that could further contribute to Council’s strategic objectives while maximising return on investment for the community.
