Proposed Permanent Closure of Portion of Road Reserve - Melrose Avenue, Stirling
Consultation has concluded
What is being proposed?
Council is seeking to undertake a road closure process for portion of the road reserve of Melrose Avenue, Stirling that adjoins the property at 9 Melrose Avenue, Stirling. The land owners have approached Council to purchase the portion of road reserve. Under the Roads (Opening and Closing) Act 1991, public consultation is a requirement of the road closure process.
The adjoining land owners approached Council to seek a rectification of their boundaries, given that this area is heavily vegetated and has established built and service infrastructure within the road reserve area.
It is proposed that 9 Melrose Avenue, Stirling will have incorporated 180 square metres of road reserve, which will enable the rectification of encroachments of built infrastructure over the road reserve.
