In 2007, Council purchased the property at 344 Ascot Vale Road, Moonee Ponds, through funds provided by the Open Space Reserve. The intention of this purchase was to implement a shared zone to improve connectivity between Mt Alexander Road and Gladstone Street.
In 2023, it was determined that the property was not suitable for the intended use and a Council resolution determined that Council commence the sale process in accordance with Section 114 of the Local Government Act 2020. As part of this process, Council resolved to:
- Place a public notice on Council’s website of the intention to sell
- Conduct a community engagement process for a period of at least 4 weeks
- Sales proceeds must be returned to the Open Space Reserve
To comply with Council's Community Engagement Policy, Council published a notice to invite community feedback in response to this proposal from 2 January - 31 January 2025.
The location of the proposal can be seen on the map below.
