Yarra City Council (Council), acting under clause 3 of schedule 10 to the Local Government Act 1989 (Act), proposes to discontinue the road at Cambridge Street, Collingwood, shown as Lot 1 on the plan below (Road), comprising part of the land remaining in Conveyance Book F No. 262.

The proposal is that Council discontinue the Road and retain the land comprising the Road for public open space purposes.

If Council makes a decision to discontinue the Road, it proposes to grant a pedestrian carriageway easement over that part of the Road shown marked ‘E-1’ on the plan below, in favour of the adjoining property known as 33 Peel Street, Collingwood, for a consideration of $1.

Any person may make a submission on the proposal. 

Any person wishing to make a submission in respect of the proposal must do so in writing by Friday 14 October 2022.
