2. Voluntary Home Buy Back Program - Potential Future Use of Land
2. Voluntary Home Buy Back Program - Potential Future Use of Land
Under the Resilient Homes Fund Voluntary Home Buy-back Program, Ipswich has purchased 204 properties across Ipswich. With the acquisition of properties under the Fund, Ipswich City Council will be responsible for the management of over 500,000m2 of non-habitable rezoned land and we have begun to identify and explore potential future use for this land.
An internal stakeholder workshop has been conducted to identify potential future land uses and was presented at a Councillor briefing on 21 November 2023.
As per a Mayoral Minute from Council meeting on 22 August 2024, it was recommended that a workshop with Mayor and Councillors be conducted to discuss possible future uses for rezoned land acquired through the Voluntary Home Buy-back Program, as well as the proposed community engagement plan.
MATTERS ARISING:
