"

REPORT:

The property at Mill Lane, Palmerston is for sale at present and the Council's Valuer has been instructed in this regard.  Discussions are ongoing between the Valuer and the Agent for the owners of the Sun Chemical Properties and a proposed exchange of lands is one possibility which has been put forward and which is under consideration by the parties.

The acquisition of land by the Council requires the identification of and access to the required resources.
