Council accepted the offer from Scouts Victoria to purchase the land at 69A Bowen Street, Warragul, utilising funds from existing reserves with any additional funds reallocated in the mid-year budget review. Noting that the purchase of land is dependant upon Scouts Victoria completing the creation of the proposed lot.
