Community Land Management Plans

Community Land

Community land is land that is owned wholly by Council or land that is owned by another entity who has passed responsibility for the care, control and management of that land to Council.

Generally the care, control and management of lands relates to land owned by the State or Federal governments who have provided the land to Council for a specific use by the community.

For a detailed explanation of Community Land and Community Land Plans we have prepared Community Land Management Plans – An introduction.

Council maintains Community Land Management Plans for all land classified as community land and those plans set out how we use and manage our community land for the betterment and enjoyment of the community.  Whenever new land comes into Council ownership or care a new plan is prepared for that land. All Community Land Management Plans are prepared by Council in accordance with Section 196 of the Local Government Act 1999.

Public consultation takes place before Council adopts a new or amended management plan as is required by Section 197 of the Local Government Act 1999.

Registers of Community Land

Council maintains a register of all community land and the leases and/or licences that have been issued over that land.

The register is prepared by Council in accordance with the requirements of Section 207 of the Local Government Act 1999.

Other Council Land

Some land owned by Council is not classified as Community land, this is land that is generally not considered available for the public to use, like operational buildings such as the Waste Transfer Station or Council’s office buildings.

As such these land parcels do not appear in the Community Land Register, they are shown in the Excluded Land Register.
