Revocation of Classification as Community Land

BACKGROUND

Pursuant to Section 194 (2) of the Local Government Act 1999, all land (except roads) that is owned by Council or under Council’s care, control and management is taken to have been classified as community land unless Council has resolved to exclude the land from classification as community land.
