Ararat Rural City Council auctions off surplus stock for a steal

Ararat Rural City Council is auctioning off a range of surplus stock including an Isuzu truck, ride-on mower and compressor, from 9 – 16 September.

The online auction through Manheim Auction Services features over 37 lots of city-owned items from the Works Depot and Ararat Fitness Centre that have been well maintained and safety checked.

Council CEO Dr Tim Harrison said the highly anticipated online auction offers good-quality work equipment and unused materials for a bargain.

“Council’s annual auction of surplus equipment drew a big crowd of online bidders last year,” Dr Harrison said.

“It’s a good opportunity for ratepayers to get reliable, high-quality gear at a competitive price.

“A lot of people like to come down to the Council depot and inspect items before the online auction starts.

“The proceeds of the auction would be reinvested into the delivery of Council’s programs across the municipality.”

Members of the public are welcome to inspect the items on Friday 9 September strictly from 10.00am to 3.00pm at the Operations Depot, 24 Flattely St, Ararat, unless an alternative appointment is arranged.
