Tasman District Council will sell the former Motueka Library, Laura Ingram Kindergarten, and the building that houses its service centre.
Investigations into the future of the council-owned buildings in Motueka have led to a decision to put some on the market.
The investigation into the potential use of the former Pā St Motueka Library building began when the library moved into its new purpose-built facility on Wallace St nearly three years ago.
Last week, councillors decided that council would prefer to lease office space for its Motueka Service Centre so approved the sale of seven Hickmott Place and the adjacent car park at eight Hickmott Place.
It was also decided that the former Motueka Library and Laura Ingram Kindergarten will be put up for sale to be removed or demolished.
The council is open to other options from specific users on the use of the former library building prior to progressing with its removal/demolition.
Council would be willing to lease the current service centre site back from a potential purchaser.
Group manager community infrastructure, Richard Kirby, says putting the buildings on the market is the most prudent option.
Income generated from the sale could be used to finance other facilities within Motueka.
