Update

After several months of working closely with all stakeholders, the Council Administration and the State Government were able to negotiate a new proposal that was consistent with the community feedback.

This new proposal was presented to Council at its meeting on 13 October 2015. Council resolved to seek Ministerial approval to revoke the community land classification of the Rose Park Preschool and JB Cleland Kindergarten only.

The Rose Park Scout Hall and the Gurney Road Garden will remain as community land, an outcome strongly supported by the Burnside community.

This decision allows Council to seek Ministerial approval to revoke the community land classification of the Rose Park Preschool and JB Cleland Kindergarten. Should Ministerial approval be received, Council may then resolve to proceed with negotiations to transfer this land to the State Government and acquire Constable Hyde Memorial Gardens, saving it as community land.
