Members of the public will have the opportunity to front up to the Clutha District Council before it discusses the sale of its forestry land at a private meeting next week. The council will meet on Tuesday for an extraordinary public-excluded meeting at which it will choose a tender for its forestry land for sale. About 456ha of the council’s forestry land was put on the market two months ago. He told the Otago Daily Times at the time the land went on sale there was "strong support" among the council for the sale. The council is making its decision in private so it can "continue its negotiations without prejudice or disadvantage".
