Community Land Management Plans
Wattle Range Council owns, or has the care, control and management of a wide variety of Community Land across its district. All Local Government Land (except roads) that is owned by Council or under Council’s care, control and management is deemed as Community Land, unless the Land has been specifically excluded from the Community Land classification by resolution of Council.
Wattle Range Council has developed a range of Community Land Management Plans, they are documents prepared by the Council in consultation with the community to provide clarity and direction for the development, management, use and maintenance of its community land that is intended to be modified for community use or occupied under a lease or licence, in accordance with section 196 of the Local Government Act 1999.
The Community Land Management Plans group community land into a hierarchy of categories based on similar purposes, such as sportsgrounds, local parks, buffer reserves and natural bushland. The plans detail how Council will develop, manage and maintain the land held for the community’s use and enjoyment.
