Private & Council Property?
Ever wanted to know what wards are private and what wards are owned by the Council, well here is a map that will answer the question.
If you would like to know who owns what section please message me and I will try and assist.

-

-
Alonnah

Ward C & IT
* The Council are Leasing School house for the Derwent Valley Community House.
In 2002 DVC became the sole owner of WCC, since then they have sold 11 buildings and attempted find adaptive reuses for the remainder.
There is an agreement with Heritage Tasmania that mean all proceeds from the sale or subdivision of Willow Court by the DVC is directly injected into the stabilization and project management of the site.
The Wards circled in BLUE are owned by the Derwent Valley Council, the rest are private.

This has been really useful, thanks. It gives things a bit more context. Until now, I thought the DVC owned more. Would be interesting to know what the private owners of the historic buildings within the actual Willow Court precinct are (and are allowed to be) doing with their investments.
Glad you found it useful. I often get asked by people who they can contact to have a look thru a certain ward etc and thought this would answer alot of question people may have.
Yeah the are and allowed to do part would be very interesting!
Hi, I thought you should know that there is a typo in the following paragraph for this page.

Thanks
