Council owns a range of assets to support service provision to the community ranging from roads, bridges, land and machinery and to information technology equipment and office furniture.

Over time Council will carry out a strategic review of its asset holdings and may make a determination that some assets are surplus to Council’s needs.

Council's Disposal or Sale of Council Assets Policy has been designed to achieve advantageous disposal outcomes through:

  • Implementing Council’s Asset Management Policy, Asset Plan and Asset Management Plans
  • Ensuring the disposal or rationalisation of Council’s assets is carried out in a transparent, fair, and independent manner
  • Enhancing value for the community by using competitive disposal processes
  • Promoting the use of resources in an efficient, effective and ethical manner
  • Ensuring decision making is consistent, fair and equitable
  • Making decisions with probity, accountability and transparency
  • Satisfying Council’s economic, social and environmental policies
  • Appropriately managing risk
  • Compliance with all relevant legislation.
