Church to acquire land

The Alexandra Elim Church is likely to get a small parcel of land from the Vincent Community Board.

At a meeting on Monday the board approved the disposal of the land, about 367sq m, previously part of the Alexandra Town Belt, with all costs incurred to be met by the Elim Church Trust.

The church has leased the land from the Central Otago District Council since 2009.

The procedure of disposing the land to the church will go through a process including offering it to Ngai Tahu in accordance with the rights of first refusal.

The council will then cancel a vesting and revoke the reserve status of the land before notifying the move.

After receiving and considering any submissions, the council's resolution will be lodged with the Department of Conservation with a request it proceed according to the statutory process.
