Plain-English summary

Tararua District Council proposes selling two council-owned sites in Dannevirke: 39 Gregg Street, which is held as open space, and part of 39 Ransom Street, which is reserve land. The council says the properties are not delivering sufficient value to the community.

No sale will proceed until feedback has been considered. Disposal of the Ransom Street land would also require the applicable Department of Conservation reserve process.

Why it matters

Selling the land would permanently remove it from direct council ownership and could change its future public use.

The council must weigh community value and reserve status against the cost and value of retaining the properties.

Who may care

  • Dannevirke residents, adjacent landowners and users of local open space
  • Ratepayers, community groups, mana whenua and organisations concerned with reserve land
