Darebin Council Proposes Sale of Reservoir Right of Way

City of Darebin has issued a public notice for the proposed sale of a right of way adjoining 124E Broadhurst Avenue, Reservoir 3073.

The council is seeking to dispose of the unused road reserve, which typically occurs when the land is no longer required for public purposes. The right of way appears to be surplus to council requirements and may provide development opportunities for adjacent landowners.

For developers and property investors, this presents a potential land acquisition opportunity in Reservoir. Right of way sales often allow for property boundary extensions, additional development area, or improved site access for neighbouring properties.

The sale follows standard council procedures for disposing of unused road reserves. Community consultation is likely required under the Local Government Act before any final decision.

Developers interested in the land should contact City of Darebin directly for sale conditions, pricing, and submission requirements. Adjacent property owners may have first right of refusal or preferential purchasing arrangements.
