Awarua Bay Reserves Revocation Process

Council regularly reviews its land assets and through these reviews identifies opportunities for land optimisation. The potential disposal of a Council owned land parcel will mean more funds to better support the land that is valuable to the community.

At a Council Meeting on 8 August 2023 Council endorsed proceeding with public notification of Awarua Bay Reserves through Reserves Act requirements.

Council proposes that the reserve status on the 0.309 hectares identified below be revoked:

The reason for the proposed revocation is to freehold the land identified as surplus to requirements and of little recreational or environmental value for the purposes of sale.

If Council proceeds with the sale, the funds generated will be used towards the betterment of other existing parks and open spaces through capital investment and ongoing maintenance and upkeep

You are invited under Section 24(2) of the Reserves Act 1977 to lodge written submissions on the proposal following the link below.
