Lane to be sold to Peninsula Village

Gosford Council has agreed to sell part of a Umina laneway to Peninsula Village.

The council will lodge an application with the Department of Lands to close a section of the laneway between Pozieres Ave, Bapaume Ave and Lone Pine Ave, Umina.

A report by council staff stated that the closure would enable all land owned by Peninsula Village to be amalgamated into one lot and subsequently allow for development.

Peninsula Village owns properties surrounding the laneway.

The decision, made by Council at its meeting of Tuesday, September 4, was subject to a number of conditions.

The conditions included making easements for a public utility plant in the area, that Peninsula Village consult directly with the Department of Lands and that application fees and professional costs be borne by Peninsula Village.

Once the section of road is closed, the land will be sold to the Peninsula Village.

Comment was sought from the interested business units of Council and no objections were received.
