To seek community feedback on the proposed sale of 126 Carpenter Street, Brighton.

The project impacts neighbouring properties and residents and businesses of Brighton who may have an opinion on whether Council should sell the land or not. The business that owns the adjacent land relies on this land to access and operate their business (currently accessed under a licence from Council).

As Council cannot use this land for any other purpose, we are seeking community feedback on whether to sell the land to the adjoining business (Environmental Funerals Pty Ltd).

Council has obtained an independent valuation of the land at the current commercial rate and is proposing to sell the land for $300,000.

We will present the community with the proposed sale of the subject land, the reasons for the sale and invite feedback/submissions from any individual or organisation concerning that sale.

We will ensure that neighbouring owners are aware of the proposed sale and ensure they have an opportunity to provide comment.
