CENTRE WELLINGTON – Centre Wellington Council has approved declaring 9 township-owned properties as surplus.
At Monday’s meeting, council gave the go-ahead for CAO Dan Wilson to sign Agreements of Purchase and Sale and other required documents related to land sales.
“In staff’s comprehensive review of surplus properties owned by the Township, each property was screened to assess its potential alignment with future land needs, guided by existing project objectives and long-range plans, including the Parks & Recreation Plan (2025), Active Transportation & Mobility Plan (2025), Water & Wastewater Servicing Master Plan (2025), Stormwater Management Master Plan (2024), and Water Supply Master Plan (2018),” the township said in a news release.
The township says through this evaluation, properties were identified as genuinely surplus, with no strategic value due to factors such as limited size, unfavourable location, incompatible zoning, restrictive adjacent land uses, and inherent constraints.
Net proceeds (net selling costs) from the property sales are recommended to fund:
- Future Township housing initiatives, or
- The non-growth portion of the Operations Centre construction.
The properties include:
| # Property | Funding Source |
|
Future Housing Initiative |
| 2. Gilkison Square | Future Housing Initiative |
| 3. Clark St Road Allowance | Future Housing Initiatives |
| 4. Perry Street (former rail line) | Future Housing Initiatives |
| 5. Lamond Street Road Allowance | Future Housing Initiatives |
| 6. 205 Queen Street East | Operations Centre |
| 7. 211 and 221 Gregson Court | Operations Centre |
| 8. 101 Gregson Court | Operations Centre |
| 9. 600 Glengarry Crescent | Operations Centre |
Councillors approved the recommendation to declare the properties as surplus.
