Have a say on carpark sale

333132_04

Brimbank council is seeking submissions regarding the proposed sale of part of the Durham Road car park.

Sunshine is positioned to become the home of the Vietnamese Museum Australia (VMA) with council entering a Memorandum of Understanding with the VMA to explore the opportunity.

The council-owned Durham Road car park site has been cited as a potential location for the museum.

The Vietnamese Museum Australia has expressed interest in moving to Sunshine after withdrawing its contract with Maribyrnong council.

Brimbank council said a national visitor and cultural museum near Sunshine Station would add to a strong list of already committed investment in Sunshine, invite more investment and help establish a visitor economy.

Council is proposing to sell a parcel of land at 119-125 Durham Road, Sunshine. The parcel of land is 1,000 square metres, which is not the entire car park site which is approximately 2,750 square metres in total.

If approved it will be sold to Vietnamese Museum Australia and can only be used for constructing a nationally significant cultural museum.

Community submissions on the proposed sale will be given as feedback to councillors for review. Councillors will then make a decision on the proposal at the council meeting on March 19.
