Engagement on this proposal closed on 16 April.

We're now collating the feedback into a report for council and will share the outcomes once known.

Background

The City of Onkaparinga is committed to ensuring our land and assets best serve our community. When a property no longer meets current or future needs, we consider selling it, so we can reinvest the proceeds in ways that benefit residents. This approach, often called an “asset optimisation strategy,” also supports our financial sustainability and forms part of our Long-Term Financial Plan.

Under South Australian law, land classified as “community land” must go through a formal revocation process before it can be sold. On 18 March 2025, Council approved the commencement of this process for two parcels on Marie Avenue in Morphett Vale. View the Council report and Council meeting minutes.

The land is legally described as;

• Allotment 40 (Reserve) in Deposited Plan 7107 | C/T Volume 5910 Folio 354
• Allotment 208 (Reserve) in Deposited Plan 7598 | C/T Volume 3257 Folio 78

Together, these parcels measure approximately 3,046m².

If Council ultimately approves the sale:

1. Net Sale Proceeds: Proceeds (minus costs like revocation and disposal fees) will go into our Asset Proceeds Reserve.
2. How Funds May Be Used:
   • Contribute to our annual asset sales targets as outlined in the Long-Term Financial Plan.
   • Accelerate a priority capital works project in Morphett Vale to deliver local benefits sooner.
   • Fund new initiatives that directly serve the community or strengthen Council’s financial sustainability.

We asked for feedback from 25 March to 16 April on:

• The proposed revocation and sale of this community land.
• Which capital works projects you’d like to see prioritised if the sale proceeds—e.g., roads, footpaths, carparks, trails, buildings, bridges, or others.

Thank you for taking the time to help shape the future of our community.
