Who owns the land where the Old Methodist Church is located?
The land is owned by the Victorian Department of Transport, for which Council had a lease agreement in place. The lease has expired and Council has an obligation to remove or carry away the building and to reinstate the site.
The land forms part of the Traralgon Station Master Plan, which was developed in 2011.
What was the original plan for the Old Methodist Church once the lease with VicTrack expired?
Council entered into a 20-year lease arrangement, which commenced in February 1995; the lease is currently on a periodical arrangement.
The commencement of the lease arrangement was the role of a former Council, leaving this Council with the legacy issue.
