This consultation has concluded.
The Discontinuance and Sale of Roads, Rights of Way and Drainage Reserves Policy is to provide guiding principles to facilitate the discontinuance and disposal of roads, reserves and minor parcels of land that are no longer required for access, the purpose they were originally set aside for, or for any other public purpose.
We have recently reviewed our policy and we are seeking community feedback on the revised document.
The revised draft policy proposes changes to accommodate legislative updates and a requirement to consolidate sold discontinued road land into the adjoining owner’s land.
The primary updates recommended for this policy are as follows:
Removal of discounts permitted for the purchase of land that has been enclosed for 10 years and only allow discounts for land enclosed for 15 years or more.
Obligation for purchasers to consolidate the titles upon settlement.
Update relevant legislations.
The draft policy can be viewed under the documents tab on this page.
