Dear Mr. Webb


As you are aware, and voiced once again at the 5th June, 2007 council meeting concerns have been raised with regard to council policy on the below points. Further to this, and under instruction from Victorian Ombudsman, would you please be kind enough to provide us with the following information:

(a) A list of all council owned properties along the Wellington Shire Subdivision Strategy effected areas.

(b) Council policies “historically” on rating properties, with the inability to be developed such as subject to inundation, single blocks without being restructured or subject to previous buyback.

(c) Explanation of council policy on acquiring land to assist the restructure process.

(d) Explanation of council policy of acquiring land in lieu of unpaid rates

(e) Council policy since the adoption of the strategy on points (b) and (c) above.


We would request notification in writing within 14 days


Kind Regards
