Council to consider purchase of land at it's Ordinary Council Meeting in February

Town officers will be presenting a report to Council at it's Ordinary Council Meeting in February. The report will include outcomes from previous consultation and the Public Open Space Strategy with a request for a council decision to purchase or not purchase the land.

The land running along Miller Street in Carlisle known as Millers Crossing has been made available to the Town for purchase. The lots owned by the Western Australian Planning Commission were part of the Miller Street railway crossing construction project completed in 2004 and were reserved for possible future road widening. The Town has maintained these lots as parkland since the construction of the crossing and Council will soon be making their decision as to whether the Town should purchase the land and for what purpose. Many factors such as surrounding open space, cost of purchase and maintenance will impact the decision
