Why is Council holding a clearance auction?
The clearance sale supports broader depot consolidation work currently underway across Council's operations. The Seymour Depot was closed earlier this year, with staff and equipment relocated to the Wallan Depot, centralising equipment and improving operational efficiency. The Broadford Depot's rear yard lease concludes in mid-July 2026, prompting the clearance of surplus materials and assets from both sites.
Rather than incur costs to relocate or dispose of these items, Council is offering them for public sale - supporting reuse within the community and the broader region.
What will the proceeds be used for?
Money raised from the sale of plant and machinery will be reinvested into renewing end-of-life assets, and the continued delivery of essential maintenance and services across Mitchell Shire.
Items not sold at auction will either be relisted online through a national auction provider or disposed of in accordance with Council's standard disposal processes.
