The properties, including Victoria Barracks in Sydney and Melbourne, will remain in public hands for community use rather than be sold.
Australia’s government will keep four heritage-listed defense properties in public hands for community use, reversing plans to sell them, The Guardian said. The decision followed opposition to the sales from veterans and former prime ministers.
The properties include Victoria Barracks in Sydney and Melbourne. They were among 67 defense properties earmarked for sale to recoup $3 billion for the federal budget.
An independent audit identified the properties as underused by defense, unfit for purpose and costly to maintain. The decision leaves the four heritage-listed sites in public ownership rather than putting them up for sale.
