SUFFOLK LAND SALE HITS SNAG

Officials negotiating the sale of Suffolk Park’s Beech Drive Reserve, have hit a snag.

Byron Shire Council says it can’t afford to buy the land, at the State Government’s current asking price.

Instead, it can only afford a third of that amount.

The government agreed to sell the land to council for community use, following protests earlier this month.

Council’s now working to try and find a more affordable figure that both parties can agree on.
