Hayes Prison Farm Sale

The Government has received and accepted an offer for the sale of the former Hayes Prison Farm property.

Further details of the sale will be released after the 30-day settlement period.

Hayes Prison Farm was originally put up for sale by the former Labor-Green Government in 2011, but was just another example of a botched process that ended up costing the taxpayer around $200,000 per year for maintenance and ongoing costs.

It is very pleasing that an acceptable offer has been made and we look forward to settlement being reached next month.
