As background, a survey of No 505 (Lot 10) Milton Road, Stapleton established that the road pavement had encroached onto the landowner's land.  A further survey of the road service established that this encroachment of the road pavements (and suitable width of verge) also affected No 435 (Lot 11) Milton Road, Stapleton.

Council has negotiated with the two affected landowners and obtained their consent to Council acquiring portions of their land for the purpose of widening the road.

Council intents to open Milton Road as detailed on the attached plans.

Pursuant to Section 273 of the Local Government Act 2021, the public is invited to make a written objection to the proposal.  Written objections will be received from Thursday 26th August 2021 until Friday 24th September 2021.  Plans are available on Council's website www.coomalie.nt.gov.au or at its Administration Office, 22 Cameron road Batchelor.

Written objections can be emailed to mail@coomalie.nt.gov.au or mailed to the Chief Executive Officer, Coomalie community Government Council, PO Box 20, Batchelor NT 0845.
