We want to hear from the Bungendore community about their thoughts for the future of the vacant block at 19 Gibraltar Street. Council purchased this block for a new office after our previous office on Majara Street was compulsorily acquired for the Bungendore High School. Now that the Bungendore High School is being built at a new location, we will be moving back into our old office on Majara Street once the Department of Education no longer require it in 2027.
What is the background to this proposal?
We purchased the block for $1.3m, using compensation funds from the NSW Government. Council have signed a Deed of Settlement that will see the return of our Majara Street office. Costs of relocation back to Majara Street and refurbishment are included in the compensation claim.
However, the costs of purchasing 19 Gibraltar Street has to be funded by its sale or from Council's general fund, and will need to be completed by 2030.
Council resolved to consider a report on options for the block, after investigating the current market value and consulting with the community through a public submission process.
What is being considered?
There are five ideas that we are seeking feedback on. One of the ideas is just temporary. You can also provide your own suggestions in the survey.
Sell the land as is
Subdivide and sell as 2 or 3 lots
We develop the site, construct the approved Development Application, sell or lease the constructed building
Don't sell the site and establish a town park with gardens, market areas, trees, seating, pedestrian access and lighting
Temporarily use the site as a pop-up stall/markets/food truck hub
What factors are we considering around each idea?
We have a fact sheet which outlines some of the considerations for each idea. The fact sheet is available in the document library. We are also asking for your feedback about factors we should consider with each of these ideas.
We will have a stall at the Bungendore Harvest Festival on Saturday 12 April from 10am-2pm where you can come and provide feedback in person.
