Club buys Crown land
The Land and Property Management Authority has confirmed that a section of land within the Everglades Country Club's golf course has been purchased by the club.
A spokesperson for the Land and Property Management Authority said the sale was initiated by Everglades.
"Sale of the land to Everglades Country Club Ltd is proceeding but not yet finalised," the spokesperson said.
"The land has been used by the country club as part of its golf course for close to 40 years.
"Purchase price at this stage is commercial in confidence as the sale has not been completed and will be market value.
"It will be by private treaty, converting the land to freehold.
"Everglades Country Club Limited has told the Land and Property Management Authority that they are working with relevant authorities, including the Catchment Management Authority, to develop management strategies for environmental protection of the lagoons."
It is understood that less $100,000 is likely to be paid for the small parcel of land.
