THE sale of some council-owned land at 132 Milton Street, the Bannockburn Recreation Precinct, will help Golden Plains Shire raise funds to put back into recreation infrastructure across the municipality.<\/p>\n

The Shire resolved to proceed with the sale at its March council meeting.<\/p>\n

This followed an earlier resolution at the December 2025 meeting, formally setting out the Shire’s intention to sell Lot RES 1 PS631696 (Part) in the northern part of the rec reserve, as permitted under section 114(2) of the Local Government Act 2020.<\/p>\n

Community members were invited to provide feedback on the sale throughout January and February.<\/p>\n

Golden Plains Shire mayor Cr Owen Sharkey said the consultation highlighted residents’ interest in the future of the space and their interest in boosting open space.<\/p>\n

“Community feedback also reinforced the importance of ensuring Bannockburn keeps pace with growth and continues to receive the investment needed for high-quality recreation and community facilities,” said Cr Sharkey.<\/p>\n

“Council acknowledges these views and recognises the pressures that growth places on existing services.<\/p>\n

“These priorities are being actively addressed through long-term planning, advocacy, and a commitment to ensuring new development contributes to the delivery of future community infrastructure.<\/p>\n

“Importantly, the proposed sale will help council generate significant funds that can be reinvested directly into recreation infrastructure in Bannockburn and across the municipality.<\/p>\n

“This means the concerns raised through consultation, such as the need for more facilities, better open space, and improved community amenities, can be supported through tangible, long-term investment.”<\/p>\n

Anyone who would like further information about the sale can contact the Golden Plains Shire economic development team at enquiries@gplains.vic.gov.au<\/a> or call 5220 7111.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
