The saga of Kiama Council's sale of five Glenbrook Drive lots is finally over.

All five of the lots, which were connected to power, water and sewerage, have now been sold for a cumulative total of around $4.3 million after they were initially passed in at auction in late October.

Exchange and settlement will occur in the coming weeks.

The Council-owned land was put up for sale after years of negotiations to cut through bureaucratic red tape to have a long-standing covenant removed by the NSW Government.

The covenant was placed on the land in 1991 because it was deemed too close to Bombo Quarry but many other houses have been built in the cul-de-sac, a three-minute drive west from the Kiama town centre.

Kiama Mayor Cameron McDonald said the sale marked a major milestone for Council’s land strategy and financial sustainability.

“Getting the covenant lifted so we could put these five blocks on the market was a huge achievement in our Council’s Advocacy Plan.

"Selling the properties so that local families can build and live here is also another small step towards achieving our housing targets.”

Council CEO Jane Stroud said she was delighted with the sales, including one to a local nurse who had been keen to buy in the LGA.

“Knowing this property has sold to a local key worker so they and their family can put down roots in our fabulous LGA is so satisfying.

"This is what makes our job worth doing.

“Once again, we thank the NSW Government for their assistance in getting the covenant lifted so we could achieve market prices for these lots.

"This success reflects sustained effort across multiple elected councils, including the work of dedicated staff, Councillors past and present, and key partners across government.”
