14 March 2006 Sale of Lincoln University land in Lincoln

Lincoln University confirms that the University Council has agreed that Ngai Tahu be notified, as required by statute, of its intention to offer for sale Lot 4 of its former Dairy Farm land in Lincoln and that the necessary process for approval to sell is currently being worked through with the iwi.

As far as the other Lots are concerned, the University Council is considering the possibility of offering these for sale but nothing has yet gone beyond this point.
