The former psychiatric hospital
Lake Alice has been sold. Crown Health Financing
Agency chief executive Graeme Bell said Lake Alice, near Marton, was sold for
an undisclosed sum. "The new owner
does not wish to comment on the sale or the price paid," Mr Bell said. Eleven tenders were
received for the 56 hectare site and the sale price reflected current real
estate values for the area, he said. The cash surplus from
the sale would be returned to the Wanganui District Health Board, he said. The hospital was closed
in 1999 as part of a change in direction in mental health policy . |
