$40k to fix<br />

council<br />

damaged<br />

by meth<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

DISTRICT council-owned<br />

houses in Darfield have had<br />

to be decontaminated from<br />

methampetamine before they can<br />

<strong>The</strong> three dwe lings are part of a<br />

portfolio of houses and a section in<br />

Ritso S the council is dispersing.<br />

It has cost just over $40,000 to<br />

decontaminate the properties.<br />

Insurance has met about $30,000<br />

of the bi l, the district council the<br />

<strong>The</strong> houses are on the market<br />

for between $300,000 to $355,000.<br />

Former mayor Bi l Woods says<br />

he is concerned that money from<br />

the sales wi l not go back into<br />

Malvern community.<br />

In the early <strong>20</strong>00s Mr Woods<br />

and late district counci lor Paul<br />

Stewart was involved in pu ting a<br />

case forward that if the properties<br />

were sold the money had to go<br />

back into the community.<br />

“In fairness, the money gained<br />

from the sale of these properties<br />

must be returned to the area from<br />

where it was co lected,” he said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> district council’s property<br />

and commercial manager Douglas<br />

Marsha l said yesterday the<br />

sale proceeds wi l be credited to<br />

council district funds.<br />
