The City of Mandurah will spend $200,000 to demolish buildings at the old King's Carnival site in Mandurah.
URGENT UPDATE: The City of Mandurah has announced it will take the former owners of King’s Carnival to court over a staggering $200,000 demolition fee. This dramatic legal move comes as the city faces a significant budget blowout linked to the carnival’s closure.
Officials, led by Chief Executive Mihovilovich, confirmed the decision earlier today, emphasizing the financial strain this fee has placed on city resources. “We must act decisively to protect the interests of our community and recover these funds,” Mihovilovich stated.
The King’s Carnival, once a popular destination in Mandurah, has been embroiled in controversy since its closure. The city argues that the demolition costs should be borne by the previous owners, who have reportedly abandoned their responsibilities. This legal action underscores Mandurah’s commitment to fiscal accountability and its determination to ensure that taxpayers are not left to shoulder the burden.
With the court proceedings expected to begin shortly, the city is preparing for a potentially lengthy legal battle. Mandurah residents are watching closely, as the outcome could impact local budgets and future city projects.
As this situation unfolds, residents and stakeholders are urged to stay updated on developments. The city is committed to transparency throughout this legal process, ensuring that the community remains informed at every step.
In a time when local governments face increasing financial pressures, Mandurah’s bold move to recover these funds could set a precedent for other municipalities dealing with similar issues. Stay tuned for more updates on this breaking story as it progresses.
