We buy and sell land as part of the process of providing facilities, services and open space, and preparing for the future growth.
Process to sell or acquire land
The City continually reviews the acquisition and sale of land to provide community facilities and services, to prepare for the future growth of the City, to meet requirements for open space and more.
The City's process to sell or acquire land is governed by the Local Government Act. When considering the purchase or sale of land the council will:
- Assess the site to make sure the transaction is made for the right reasons and achieves the desired outcomes for all parties
- Report and deliberate on the proposed transaction
- Consult – a public notice may be published to allow for objection submissions to be made
If we decide to proceed a contract of sale is drawn up and the settlement process followed.
