Merri-bek Council proposes land sale at rear of Sydney Road Coburg

Merri-bek City Council has announced the proposed sale of council-owned land located at the rear of 436-442 Sydney Road, Coburg.

The council is proceeding under Section 114 of the Local Government Act 2020, which requires public notification for the disposal of council assets. The land parcel sits behind the established commercial strip on Sydney Road, one of Coburg's primary retail and mixed-use corridors.

The proposed sale follows standard council procedures for asset disposal, with the council required to provide public notice and consider community feedback before finalising any transaction.

For developers, this represents a potential acquisition opportunity in Coburg's established commercial precinct. The Sydney Road corridor has seen increased development activity in recent years, with mixed-use projects capitalising on the area's transport links and commercial zoning.

The council will accept public submissions regarding the proposed sale, though specific consultation periods and submission deadlines have not yet been detailed in the initial announcement.
