Leases & Licences of Council Owned and Managed Land and Real Property

Council owns and manages both Community and Operational  land and real property, and unformed Council public roads. Council will manage the use of its holdings for the benefit of the community and/or to maximise the amount of revenue it derives from these holdings.

Some of these land assets are available for short term and long term use under an agreement. The main objectives of this Policy are:

  • In response to Chapter 3 Local Government Act 1993, to acknowledge Council’s charter as the custodian and trustee of public assets and to effectively manage the holdings for which it is responsible
  • To outline the general requirements for the grant of occupation agreements for Council owned and managed land and buildings
  • To ensure the grant of occupation agreements meet legislative requirements
  • To ensure management and use of Council owned and managed land and real property is consistent with Council’s economic, social and environmental objectives
  • To ensure the grant of occupation agreements are consistent, transparent, fair and impartial
