Background
Council has received a request from the owner of Clovercrest Shopping Centre to purchase a portion of land from Council that forms part of this Reserve to facilitate plans to expand the site and improve the Reserve. The owner of the shopping centre has offered $1.36 million (excluding GST) plus $400,000 (excluding GST) towards moderate upgrades to the Reserve.
Sir Frank Berryman Reserve is 22,046m2 in size and is bounded by Clovercrest Shopping Centre, Eileen Street, Calwield Road and Berryman Drive. The portion proposed for sale is approximately 5,475m2 in size. This would leave a balance of Sir Frank Berryman Reserve of approximately 16,570m2 as community land.
As Sir Frank Berryman Reserve is classified as community land, the Community Land Classification of this reserve needs to be changed (or ‘revoked’) before any sale can occur. The revocation process requires that Council must consult with the community.
For more information please refer to Council's information sheet.
More detailed information about the shopping centre's proposal is also available on the Clovercrest Shopping Centre website.
