Council to sell land for police station

Parramatta City Council proposes to sell land it owns at 2-10 Carlton Street, in the Granville town centre, to the NSW Police Force for a new police station in the suburb. The proposal is subject to approval following the public exhibition of the Draft Granville Town Hall Precinct Masterplan from late January for 28 days.

Proceeds from the sale will be put in a special reserve for future use in the acquisition of "strategic purchases" to revitalise the town centre. Council has noted that an estimated $10 million is needed to fund priority works in the town centre.
