Council has resolved to commence the formal legislative processes to close a 20,635 m² portion of West Creek Road at Langhorne Creek with the intent it be sold to a neighbouring landowner and merged into their landholdings. The landowner will be required to enter into a Costs Agreement with Council prior to Council engaging a surveyor to prepare a preliminary plan for the road closure. The closure must be approved by the relevant State Minister. All costs associated with the process will be borne by the proponent regardless of the outcome of the Minister's decision.
