What's happening?
From time to time Council undertakes land dealings. We have drafted a new policy, the draft Land Dealings Policy (the draft Policy), and at its meeting on 20 May Council resolved to publicly exhibit the draft Policy.
About the draft Policy
The draft Policy is an integral part of Council's adopted Property Management Framework (PMF), ensuring that Land Dealings are conducted transparently, accountably, and in the best interests of the community.
If adopted, the draft Policy will replace 5 policies of the 3 former Councils (available in the Attachments Booklet).
Land assets will be subject to ongoing review in relation to their purpose, usability, viability, and overall community benefit, in accordance with this Policy and the Property Management Framework.
Your input on this policy is important to us. We invite you to read the draft Policy, check out the frequently asked questions (FAQs tab) and let us know your thoughts by having your say.
