Community Consultation - Access and Land Use - Geoscience Australia - Saltia

22nd February 2021

As part of an upgrade by Geoscience Australia of its Australia-wide Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) it is working to establish formal, secure tenure arrangements for all existing GNSS ground stations.  This includes one on an existing site on Section 287, Hundred of Woolundunga at Saltia. The current lease arrangements for this site include a 21 year occupation licence with a further 21 year option. This results in a 42 year term which is the maximum term allowable under the amended section 202(4) of the Local Government Act 1999.

Council is looking to grant the lease for the maximum term of 42 years and is seeking community feedback on the proposed Access and Land Use Licence between The Flinders Ranges Council and Geoscience Australia.

A copy of the background information (including site plans) and the licence agreement are accessible here or below.

Community Consultation is open until Friday 12 March 2021.  Submissions to be made in writing to the CEO, The Flinders Ranges Council, PO Box, 43, Quorn SA 5433 or email to council@frc.sa.gov.au
