Hutt City councillors on Tuesday accepted a recommendation to take first steps towards revoking the reserve status of part of the land, the first step towards selling it.
Milne, whose wife is president of the tennis association, was in October found to have breached the council’s code of conduct over his ongoing conflict of interest in the matter.
Hutt Valley Health Limited, which has a medical hub next to the 1640 square metre block at Mitchell Park, is interested in buying the land, which is valued at $1.4 million. The council has spent years discussing the potential sale.
Councillors noted the association supported the move if the proceeds of the sale were re-invested in their redevelopment plans.
Milne was not present when the vote was taken.

The purpose of the care labelling consumer information standard is to make sure that:
• consumers are aware of the method and cost of caring for textile products when they are buying them
• a cleaner can confidently use the information to take care of the textiles
• the textile’s life is not shortened by inappropriate care information or no information
• the textile is not damaged or destroyed by inappropriate care.
It is illegal to supply textile goods that do not comply with this standard and the regulations.
The regulations set out the types of textile goods covered by the standard and what parts of the standard apply to New Zealand.
The standard sets out the words, terms and symbols to use on a label to show the correct way to care for textile goods, including dry-cleaning and washing.
The regulations are issued under section 27 of the Fair Trading Act 1986.
Who do the regulations apply to?
Any person supplying, offering to supply or advertising the supply of new textiles, that require care labelling information, must comply with the regulations. Any person includes retailers, importers, distributors and manufacturers.
Types of supply include textile goods for sale in a shop, on internet auction sites, at markets or stalls or in craft shops.
What textile items have to be labelled with care information?
The care labelling standard contains more details and requirements, some of which are very technical. You should read both the regulations and the standard to make sure you understand all the labelling requirements.

The pair from charity Nourish kai hampers raised $135,000 so as many as 1000 families in-need won’t face bare cupboards this Christmas.
About 80 volunteers packed 1000 hampers worth $150 for those who need it most across Porirua, Hutt Valley and Tawa on Saturday – the highest number the charity has put together, and double last year’s demand.
This evening Council gave the green light to the Naenae Town Centre Spatial Plan. This is a significant step forward in the rejuvenation of Naenae and will complement the construction of the new Naenae Pool.

When Clifford Hallett blows out the candles on his cake in a couple of weeks, he'll likely wish for an extra leave day to celebrate.
Hallett has launched a petition to Parliament requesting it pass legislation to give all employees that right.
