An Act to provide for local government in New South Wales.
This Act may be cited as the Local Government Act 1993.
This Act commences on a day or days to be appointed by proclamation.
Expressions used in this Act (or in a particular provision of this Act) which are defined in the dictionary at the end of this Act have the meanings set out in the dictionary.
This Act binds the Crown in right of New South Wales and, in so far as the legislative power of Parliament permits, the Crown in all its other capacities, except to the extent to which this Act otherwise provides.
Particular provisions relating to the Crown are found in the following sections—
• sections 72–74—concerning determination of Crown applications for approvals
• section 111—concerning revocation or modification of approvals given to the Crown
• section 126—concerning the giving of orders affecting Crown land (including Crown managed land) and commons
• sections 555 and 561—concerning rates and charges on land owned by the Crown
• section 560—concerning the liability to pay rates in respect of land owned by the Crown
• section 611—concerning the imposition of an annual charge for certain things on, under or over public places
• section 708—service of notices on the Crown
• section 714—prohibition on sale of Crown lands for unpaid rates and charges
This Act applies to those parts of the State that are constituted as areas for the purposes of this Act, except as provided by or under this Act.
This Act does not apply to the whole of New South Wales. Some parts of the State do not come within a local government area. For example, parts of the Western Division of the State (to which the Crown Land Management Act 2016 applies) and Lord Howe Island (to which the Lord Howe Island Act 1953 applies) are not subject to this Act.
Some local government areas or parts may not be subject to this Act (or to all of its provisions) because of special statutory exceptions. Other exceptions may be provided by regulations made under this Act.
Notes, charts and diagrams are explanatory notes and do not form part of this Act. They are provided to assist understanding.
The purposes of this Act are as follows—
(a) to provide the legal framework for the system of local government for New South Wales,
(b) to set out the responsibilities and powers of councils, councillors and other persons and bodies that constitute the system of local government,
(c) to provide for governing bodies of councils that are democratically elected, or for certain rural and remote councils, part elected and part appointed,
(d) to facilitate engagement with the local community by councils, councillors and other persons and bodies that constitute the system of local government,
(e) to provide for a system of local government that is accountable to the community and that is sustainable, flexible and effective.
The object of the principles for councils set out in this Chapter is to provide guidance to enable councils to carry out their functions in a way that facilitates local communities that are strong, healthy and prosperous.
The following general principles apply to the exercise of functions by councils—
(a) Councils should provide strong and effective representation, leadership, planning and decision-making.
(b) Councils should carry out functions in a way that provides the best possible value for residents and ratepayers.
(c) Councils should plan strategically, using the integrated planning and reporting framework, for the provision of effective and efficient services and regulation to meet the diverse needs of the local community.
(d) Councils should apply the integrated planning and reporting framework in carrying out their functions so as to achieve desired outcomes and continuous improvements.
(e) Councils should work co-operatively with other councils and the State government to achieve desired outcomes for the local community.
(f) Councils should manage lands and other assets so that current and future local community needs can be met in an affordable way.

The following principles for strategic planning apply to the development of the integrated planning and reporting framework by councils—
(a) Councils should identify and prioritise key local community needs and aspirations and consider regional priorities.
(b) Councils should identify strategic goals to meet those needs and aspirations.
(c) Councils should develop activities, and prioritise actions, to work towards the strategic goals.

(i) Councils should make appropriate evidence-based adaptations to meet changing needs and circumstances.
A council must give notice to the public of the times and places of its meetings and meetings of those of its committees of which all the members are councillors.
A council and each such committee must have available for the public at its offices and at each meeting copies (for inspection or taking away by any person) of the agenda and the associated business papers (such as correspondence and reports) for the meeting.
In the case of a meeting whose agenda includes the receipt of information or discussion of other matters that, in the opinion of the general manager, is likely to take place when the meeting is closed to the public—
(a) the agenda for the meeting must indicate that the relevant item of business is of such a nature (but must not give details of that item), and
(b) the requirements of subsection (2) with respect to the availability of business papers do not apply to the business papers for that item of business.
The copies are to be available to the public as nearly as possible to the time they are available to councillors.
The copies are to be available free of charge.
A notice given under this section or a copy of an agenda or of a business paper made available under this section may in addition be given or made available in electronic form.
Except as provided by this Part—
(a) everyone is entitled to attend a meeting of the council and those of its committees of which all the members are councillors, and
(b) a council must ensure that all meetings of the council and of such committees are open to the public.
However, a person (whether a councillor or another person) is not entitled to be present at a meeting of the council or of such a committee if expelled from the meeting—
(a) by a resolution of the meeting, or
(b) by the person presiding at the meeting if the council has, by resolution, authorised the person presiding to exercise the power of expulsion.
A person may be expelled from a meeting only on the grounds specified in, or in the circumstances prescribed by, the regulations.
A council, or a committee of the council of which all the members are councillors, may close to the public so much of its meeting as comprises—
(a) the discussion of any of the matters listed in subclause (2), or
(b) the receipt or discussion of any of the information so listed.
The matters and information are the following—
(a) personnel matters concerning particular individuals (other than councillors),
(b) the personal hardship of any resident or ratepayer,
(c) information that would, if disclosed, confer a commercial advantage on a person with whom the council is conducting (or proposes to conduct) business,
(d) commercial information of a confidential nature that would, if disclosed—
(i) prejudice the commercial position of the person who supplied it, or
(ii) confer a commercial advantage on a competitor of the council, or
(iii) reveal a trade secret,
(e) information that would, if disclosed, prejudice the maintenance of law,
(f) matters affecting the security of the council, councillors, council staff or council property,
(g) advice concerning litigation, or advice that would otherwise be privileged from production in legal proceedings on the ground of legal professional privilege,
(h) information concerning the nature and location of a place or an item of Aboriginal significance on community land,
(i) alleged contraventions of any code of conduct requirements applicable under section 440.
A council, or a committee of the council of which all the members are councillors, may also close to the public so much of its meeting as comprises a motion to close another part of the meeting to the public.
A council, or a committee of a council, may allow members of the public to make representations to or at a meeting, before any part of the meeting is closed to the public, as to whether that part of the meeting should be closed.
(Repealed)
A meeting is not to remain closed during the discussion of anything referred to in section 10A(2)—
(a) except for so much of the discussion as is necessary to preserve the relevant confidentiality, privilege or security, and
(b) if the matter concerned is a matter other than a personnel matter concerning particular individuals, the personal hardship of a resident or ratepayer or a trade secret—unless the council or committee concerned is satisfied that discussion of the matter in an open meeting would, on balance, be contrary to the public interest.
A meeting is not to be closed during the receipt and consideration of information or advice referred to in section 10A(2)(g) unless the advice concerns legal matters that—
(a) are substantial issues relating to a matter in which the council or committee is involved, and
(b) are clearly identified in the advice, and
(c) are fully discussed in that advice.
If a meeting is closed during the discussion of a motion to close another part of the meeting to the public (as referred to in section 10A(3)), the consideration of the motion must not include any consideration of the matter or information to be discussed in that other part of the meeting (other than consideration of whether the matter concerned is a matter referred to in section 10A(2)).
For the purpose of determining whether the discussion of a matter in an open meeting would be contrary to the public interest, it is irrelevant that—
(a) a person may misinterpret or misunderstand the discussion, or
(b) the discussion of the matter may—
(i) cause embarrassment to the council or committee concerned, or to councillors or to employees of the council, or
(ii) cause a loss of confidence in the council or committee.
In deciding whether part of a meeting is to be closed to the public, the council or committee concerned must have regard to any relevant guidelines issued by the Departmental Chief Executive.
Part of a meeting of a council, or of a committee of the council of which all the members are councillors, may be closed to the public while the council or committee considers a matter that has not been identified in the agenda for the meeting as a matter that is likely to be considered when the meeting is closed, but only if—
(a) it becomes apparent during the discussion of a particular matter that the matter is a matter referred to in section 10A(2), and
(b) the council or committee, after considering any representations made under section 10A(4), resolves that further discussion of the matter—
(i) should not be deferred (because of the urgency of the matter), and
(ii) should take place in a part of the meeting that is closed to the public.
The grounds on which part of a meeting is closed must be stated in the decision to close that part of the meeting and must be recorded in the minutes of the meeting.
The grounds must specify the following—
(a) the relevant provision of section 10A(2),
(b) the matter that is to be discussed during the closed part of the meeting,
(c) the reasons why the part of the meeting is being closed, including (if the matter concerned is a matter other than a personnel matter concerning particular individuals, the personal hardship of a resident or ratepayer or a trade secret) an explanation of the way in which discussion of the matter in an open meeting would be, on balance, contrary to the public interest.
(Repealed)
A council and a committee of which all the members are councillors must, during or at the close of a meeting, or during the business day following the meeting, give reasonable access to any person to inspect correspondence and reports laid on the table at, or submitted to, the meeting.
This section does not apply if the correspondence or reports—
(a) relate to a matter that was received or discussed, or
(b) were laid on the table at, or submitted to, the meeting,
when the meeting was closed to the public.
This section does not apply if the council or committee resolves at the meeting, when open to the public, that the correspondence or reports, because they relate to a matter specified in section 10A(2), are to be treated as confidential.
(Repealed)
A council may take a poll of electors for its information and guidance on any matter.
A constitutional referendum is a poll initiated by a council in order to give effect to a matter referred to in section 16.
A council may not do any of the following unless approval to do so has been given at a constitutional referendum—
(a) divide its area into wards or abolish all wards in its area,
(b) change the basis on which the mayor attains office (that is, by election by the councillors or by election by the electors),
(c) increase or decrease the number of councillors in accordance with the limits under section 224,
(d) change the method of ordinary election of councillors for an area divided into wards.
(e) (Repealed)
The decision made at a constitutional referendum binds the council until changed by a subsequent constitutional referendum.
However, such a decision does not apply to a by-election held after the constitutional referendum and before the next ordinary election.
Part 1 and Part 6 (except Divisions 3, 4 and 5) of Chapter 10 (How are people elected to civic office?) apply to a council poll, and Part 1 and Part 6 (except Divisions 3 and 5) of that Chapter apply to a constitutional referendum, with such modifications as may be necessary, in the same way as they apply to an election.
Part 1 of Chapter 10 identifies the people who are entitled to vote in council elections, and Part 6 governs the conduct of those elections.
Division 3 of Part 6 of that Chapter deals with nominations for election, Division 4 with failure to vote and Division 5 with miscellaneous matters such as irregularities of form or procedure in elections, overdue elections and those declared void.
A council poll or constitutional referendum may be taken on any Saturday, including the Saturday of an ordinary election.
The question at a council poll or constitutional referendum is carried if it is supported by a majority of the votes cast.
The reference to votes in subsection (1) does not include a reference to any vote that, pursuant to the regulations, is found to be informal.

A council has the functions conferred or imposed on it by or under this Act.
This Act classifies certain of a council’s functions as service, that is, non-regulatory (Chapter 6), regulatory (Chapter 7) or ancillary (Chapter 8). Ancillary functions are those functions that assist the carrying out of a council’s service and regulatory functions.
A council also has revenue functions (Chapter 15), administrative functions (Chapters 11, 12 and 13) and functions relating to the enforcement of this Act (Chapters 16 and 17).
A council has the functions conferred or imposed on it by or under any other Act or law.
While the main functions of councils are provided for under this Act, councils also have functions under other Acts. An important general provision is contained in section 50 of the Interpretation Act 1987 which provides, in part—
(1) A statutory corporation—
(a) has perpetual succession,
(b) shall have a seal,
(c) may take proceedings and be proceeded against in its corporate name,
(d) may, for the purpose of enabling it to exercise its functions, purchase, exchange, take on lease, hold, dispose of and otherwise deal with property, and
(e) may do and suffer all other things that bodies corporate may, by law, do and suffer and that are necessary for, or incidental to, the exercise of its functions …
(4) This section applies to a statutory corporation in addition to, and without limiting the effect of, any provision of the Act by or under which the corporation is constituted.
Some other Acts and some of the functions they confer include—

State Emergency Service Act 1989 | recommending appointment of local commander |
Strata Schemes Development Act 2015 | approval of strata plans |
Swimming Pools Act 1992 | ensuring restriction of access to swimming pools |
The exercise by a council of its functions under this Act may also be modified by the provisions of another Act. Some of those Acts and some of the modifications they effect include—
Environmental Offences and Penalties Act 1989 | forfeiture of council functions to person appointed by Governor |
Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 | council required to publish certain information and to grant access to certain documents |

State Emergency and Rescue Management Act 1989 | council required to prepare for emergencies |
Unclaimed Money Act 1995 | unclaimed money to be paid to the Chief Commissioner of Unclaimed Money |
A council may do all such things as are supplemental or incidental to, or consequential on, the exercise of its functions.
For the purposes of this Act, the Departmental Chief Executive may from time to time prepare, adopt or vary guidelines relating to the exercise by a council of any of its functions.
The Departmental Chief Executive may only prepare, adopt or vary guidelines relating to the exercise by a council of functions conferred or imposed on the council by or under any Act or law that is not administered by or the responsibility of the Department of Local Government if the Departmental Chief Executive has first obtained the concurrence of the Minister administering or responsible for the administration of the other Act or law.
A council must take any relevant guidelines issued under this section into consideration before exercising any of its functions.
The guidelines for the time being in force are to be made available to councils on request and, on payment of such fee (if any) as the Departmental Chief Executive may determine, to any interested person.

| See the Note to section 22 |
A council may provide goods, services and facilities, and carry out activities, appropriate to the current and future needs within its local community and of the wider public, subject to this Act, the regulations and any other law.
This Part requires all land vested in a council (except a road or land to which the Crown Land Management Act 2016 applies) to be classified as either “community” or “operational”.
The classification will generally be achieved by a local environmental plan but may, in some circumstances, be achieved by resolution of the council (see sections 31, 32 and 33).
The purpose of classification is to identify clearly that land which should be kept for use by the general public (community) and that land which need not (operational). The major consequence of classification is that it determines the ease or difficulty with which land may be alienated by sale, leasing or some other means.
Community land must not be sold (except in the limited circumstances referred to in section 45(4)). Community land must not be leased or licensed for more than 21 years and may only be leased or licensed for more than 5 years if public notice of the proposed lease or licence is given and, in the event that an objection is made to the proposed lease or licence, the Minister’s consent is obtained. No such restrictions apply to operational land.
Classification or reclassification of land does not affect any estate or interest a council has in the land.
Community land would ordinarily comprise land such as a public park. Operational land would ordinarily comprise land held as a temporary asset or as an investment, land which facilitates the carrying out by a council of its functions or land which may not be open to the general public, such as a works depot or a council garage.
The use and management of community land is to be regulated by a plan of management. Until a plan of management is adopted, the nature and use of the land must not change.
All public land must be classified in accordance with this Part.
There are 2 classifications for public land—“community” and “operational”.
On the commencement of this Part, certain land that is vested in or under the control of a council is taken to have been classified as community land by the operation of clause 6 of Schedule 7.
The classification or reclassification of public land may be made by a local environmental plan.
The classification or reclassification of public land may also be made by a resolution of the council under section 31, 32 or 33.
A council may not forward a planning proposal to the Minister for Planning under section 56 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 which includes a proposal to classify or reclassify public land that is not owned by the council unless the council has obtained the consent of the owner to the proposed classification or reclassification of public land.
A local environmental plan that classifies or reclassifies public land may apply to one or more areas of public land.
A council must arrange a public hearing under section 57 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 in respect of a planning proposal under Part 3 of that Act to reclassify community land as operational land, unless a public hearing has already been held in respect of the same matter as a result of a determination under section 56(2)(e) of that Act.
A council must, before making any resolution under section 32, arrange a public hearing in respect of any proposal to reclassify land as operational land by such a resolution.
A local environmental plan that reclassifies community land as operational land may make provision to the effect that, on commencement of the plan, the land, if it is a public reserve, ceases to be a public reserve, and that the land is by operation of the plan discharged from any trusts, estates, interests, dedications, conditions, restrictions and covenants affecting the land or any part of the land, except for—
(a) any reservations that except land out of a Crown grant relating to the land, and
(b) reservations of minerals (within the meaning of the Crown Land Management Act 2016).
A provision referred to in subsection (1) has effect according to its tenor, but only if the Governor has, before the making of the local environmental plan, approved of the provision.
This section applies to land that is acquired by a council after the commencement of this Division, other than—
(a) land to which the Crown Lands Act 1989 or the Crown Land Management Act 2016 applied before the acquisition and continues to apply after the acquisition, and
(b) land that is acquired for the purpose of a road.
Before a council acquires land, or within 3 months after it acquires land, a council may resolve (in accordance with this Part) that the land be classified as community land or operational land.
Any land acquired by a council that is not classified under subsection (2) is, at the end of the period of 3 months referred to in that subsection, taken to have been classified under a local environmental plan as community land.
While the land remains unclassified—
(a) the land may not be used for any purpose other than that for which it was being used immediately before it was acquired, and
(b) the council may not dispose of any interest in the land.
A council must not resolve under this section that land be classified as operational land if—
(a) the land is classified as community land immediately before its acquisition, or
(b) the resolution would be inconsistent with any other Act, the terms of any trust applying to the land or the terms of any instrument executed by the donor or transferor of the land.
A council may resolve that land dedicated in accordance with a condition imposed under section 94 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 is to be reclassified as operational land.
A council may make such a resolution only if it is satisfied that the land has been found to be unsuitable for the provision, extension or augmentation of public amenities and public services because of any one or more of the following—
• the size of the land
• the shape of the land
• the topography of the land
• the location of the land
• the difficulty of providing public access to the land.
The council must specify in the resolution the grounds on which it is satisfied the land is unsuitable.
Before making the resolution, the council must give public notice of the resolution. The public notice must specify a period of not less than 28 days during which submissions may be made to the council.
The net proceeds of sale by a council of any land dedicated in accordance with a condition imposed under section 94 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 must be dealt with under that section as if those net proceeds were a monetary contribution paid instead of the dedication.
A council may resolve that public land classified as operational land is to be reclassified as community land.
(Repealed)
A council must give public notice of a proposed resolution to classify or reclassify public land.
The public notice must include the terms of the proposed resolution and a description of the public land concerned.
The public notice must specify a period of not less than 28 days during which submissions may be made to the council.
(Repealed)
Community land is required to be used and managed in accordance with the following—
• the plan of management applying to the land
• any law permitting the use of the land for a specified purpose or otherwise regulating the use of the land
• this Division.
A council must prepare a draft plan of management for community land.
A draft plan of management may apply to one or more areas of community land, except as provided by this Division.
A plan of management for community land must identify the following—
(a) the category of the land,
(b) the objectives and performance targets of the plan with respect to the land,
(c) the means by which the council proposes to achieve the plan’s objectives and performance targets,
(d) the manner in which the council proposes to assess its performance with respect to the plan’s objectives and performance targets,
and may require the prior approval of the council to the carrying out of any specified activity on the land.
A plan of management that applies to just one area of community land—
(a) must include a description of—
(i) the condition of the land, and of any buildings or other improvements on the land, as at the date of adoption of the plan of management, and
(ii) the use of the land and any such buildings or improvements as at that date, and
(b) must—
(i) specify the purposes for which the land, and any such buildings or improvements, will be permitted to be used, and
(ii) specify the purposes for which any further development of the land will be permitted, whether under lease or licence or otherwise, and
(iii) describe the scale and intensity of any such permitted use or development.
For the purposes of this section, land is to be categorised as one or more of the following—
(a) a natural area,
(b) a sportsground,
(c) a park,
(d) an area of cultural significance,
(e) general community use.
Land that is categorised as a natural area is to be further categorised as one or more of the following—
(a) bushland,
(b) wetland,
(c) escarpment,
(d) watercourse,
(e) foreshore,
(f) a category prescribed by the regulations.
The regulations may make provision for or with respect to the categorisation of community land under this section, including—
(a) defining any expression used in subsection (4) or (5), and
(b) prescribing guidelines for the categorisation of community land and the effect of any guidelines so prescribed.
In this section—
(a) an area declared to be critical habitat under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995, or
(b) an area declared to be critical habitat under Part 7A of the Fisheries Management Act 1994.
(a) in relation to critical habitat being an area declared to be critical habitat under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995, the Chief Executive of the Office of Environment and Heritage, and
(b) in relation to critical habitat being an area declared to be critical habitat under Part 7A of the Fisheries Management Act 1994, the Secretary of the Department of Industry, Skills and Regional Development.
A plan of management adopted in respect of an area of community land, all or part of which consists of critical habitat, is to apply to that area only, and not to other areas of land.
A plan of management to be adopted for an area of community land, all or part of which consists of critical habitat—
(a) must, subject to any decision of the Chief Executive of the Office of Environment and Heritage under section 146 of the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 or any decision of the Secretary of the Department of Industry, Skills and Regional Development under section 220Y of the Fisheries Management Act 1994, state that the land, or the relevant part, is critical habitat, and
(b) must, in complying with section 36(3)(a), categorise the land, or the relevant part, as a natural area, and
(c) must, in complying with section 36(3)(b), (c) and (d), identify objectives, performance targets and other matters that—
(i) take account of the existence of the critical habitat, and
(ii) are consistent with the objects of the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 or the Fisheries Management Act 1994, as the case requires, and
(iii) incorporate the core objectives prescribed under section 36 in respect of community land categorised as a natural area, and
(d) must—
(i) when public notice is given of the draft plan under section 38, be sent (or a copy must be sent) by the council to the relevant Director, and
(ii) incorporate any matter specified by the relevant Director in relation to the land, or the relevant part.
If, after the adoption of a plan of management applying to just one area of community land, all or part of that area becomes critical habitat—
(a) the plan of management is taken to be amended, as from the date the declaration took effect, to categorise the land or the relevant part as a natural area, and
(b) the council must amend the plan of management (and, in doing so, the provisions of subsection (3)(a), (c) and (d) apply to the amendment of the plan of management in the same way as they apply to the adoption of a plan of management), and
(c) until the plan of management has been amended as required by paragraph (b)—
(i) the use of the land must not be varied, except to the extent necessary to further the objects of the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 or the Fisheries Management Act 1994, as the case requires, or in order to give effect to the core objectives prescribed under section 36 in respect of community land categorised as a natural area, or to terminate the use, and
(ii) no lease, licence or other estate may be granted in respect of the land.
If, after the adoption of a plan of management applying to several areas of community land, all or part of one of those areas becomes critical habitat—
(a) the plan of management ceases, as from the date the declaration took effect, to apply to that area, and
(b) a plan of management must be prepared and adopted by the council for that area, and

(a) the plan of management is taken to be amended, as from the date the declaration took effect, to categorise the land or the relevant part as a natural area, and
(b) the council must amend the plan of management (and in doing so, the provisions of subsection (3)(a) and (c) apply to the amendment of the plan of management in the same way as they apply to the adoption of a plan of management), and
(c) until the plan of management has been amended as required by paragraph (b)—
(i) the use of the land must not be varied, except to the extent necessary to protect the features of the site identified in the council’s resolution or in order to give effect to the core objectives prescribed under section 36 in respect of community land categorised as a natural area, or to terminate the use, and

This section applies to draft and adopted plans of management for areas of community land, all or part of which consist of land to which section 36D applies.
A council may resolve (at the request of any Aboriginal person traditionally associated with the land concerned or on the council’s own initiative) to keep confidential such parts of a draft or adopted plan of management to which this section applies as would disclose the nature and location of a place or an item of Aboriginal significance.
Despite any other provision of this Act (including sections 38, 39 and 43) or any other law, councillors and council employees are not to disclose that part of a draft or adopted plan of management that is the subject of a resolution of confidentiality under subsection (2), except with the consent of the council.
A draft or adopted plan of management that is the subject of a resolution of confidentiality under subsection (2) must contain a note stating that the whole of the plan is affected by the resolution or identifying the parts that are so affected.
A council proposing to prepare a draft plan of management to which this section applies must (in accordance with the regulations) consult with the appropriate Aboriginal communities regarding public access to, and use of, information concerning any places or items of Aboriginal significance on the land concerned.
The core objectives for management of community land categorised as a natural area are—
(a) to conserve biodiversity and maintain ecosystem function in respect of the land, or the feature or habitat in respect of which the land is categorised as a natural area, and
(b) to maintain the land, or that feature or habitat, in its natural state and setting, and
(c) to provide for the restoration and regeneration of the land, and
(d) to provide for community use of and access to the land in such a manner as will minimise and mitigate any disturbance caused by human intrusion, and
(e) to assist in and facilitate the implementation of any provisions restricting the use and management of the land that are set out in a recovery plan or threat abatement plan prepared under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 or the Fisheries Management Act 1994.
The core objectives for management of community land categorised as a sportsground are—
(a) to encourage, promote and facilitate recreational pursuits in the community involving organised and informal sporting activities and games, and
(b) to ensure that such activities are managed having regard to any adverse impact on nearby residences.
The core objectives for management of community land categorised as a park are—
(a) to encourage, promote and facilitate recreational, cultural, social and educational pastimes and activities, and

(c) to improve the land in such a way as to promote and facilitate its use to achieve the other core objectives for its management.
The core objectives for management of community land categorised as an area of cultural significance are to retain and enhance the cultural significance of the area (namely its Aboriginal, aesthetic, archaeological, historical, technical or research or social significance) for past, present or future generations by the active use of conservation methods.
Those conservation methods may include any or all of the following methods—
(a) the continuous protective care and maintenance of the physical material of the land or of the context and setting of the area of cultural significance,
(b) the restoration of the land, that is, the returning of the existing physical material of the land to a known earlier state by removing accretions or by reassembling existing components without the introduction of new material,
(c) the reconstruction of the land, that is, the returning of the land as nearly as possible to a known earlier state,
(d) the adaptive reuse of the land, that is, the enhancement or reinforcement of the cultural significance of the land by the introduction of sympathetic alterations or additions to allow compatible uses (that is, uses that involve no changes to the cultural significance of the physical material of the area, or uses that involve changes that are substantially reversible or changes that require a minimum impact),
(e) the preservation of the land, that is, the maintenance of the physical material of the land in its existing state and the retardation of deterioration of the land.
A reference in subsection (2) to land includes a reference to any buildings erected on the land.
The core objectives for management of community land categorised as general community use are to promote, encourage and provide for the use of the land, and to provide facilities on the land, to meet the current and future needs of the local community and of the wider public—
(a) in relation to public recreation and the physical, cultural, social and intellectual welfare or development of individual members of the public, and
(b) in relation to purposes for which a lease, licence or other estate may be granted in respect of the land (other than the provision of public utilities and works associated with or ancillary to public utilities).
The core objectives for management of community land categorised as bushland are—
(a) to ensure the ongoing ecological viability of the land by protecting the ecological biodiversity and habitat values of the land, the flora and fauna (including invertebrates, fungi and micro-organisms) of the land and other ecological values of the land, and
(b) to protect the aesthetic, heritage, recreational, educational and scientific values of the land, and
(c) to promote the management of the land in a manner that protects and enhances the values and quality of the land and facilitates public enjoyment of the land, and to implement measures directed to minimising or mitigating any disturbance caused by human intrusion, and
(d) to restore degraded bushland, and
(e) to protect existing landforms such as natural drainage lines, watercourses and foreshores, and
(f) to retain bushland in parcels of a size and configuration that will enable the existing plant and animal communities to survive in the long term, and
(g) to protect bushland as a natural stabiliser of the soil surface.
The core objectives for management of community land categorised as wetland are—
(a) to protect the biodiversity and ecological values of wetlands, with particular reference to their hydrological environment (including water quality and water flow), and to the flora, fauna and habitat values of the wetlands, and
(b) to restore and regenerate degraded wetlands, and
(c) to facilitate community education in relation to wetlands, and the community use of wetlands, without compromising the ecological values of wetlands.
The core objectives for management of community land categorised as an escarpment are—
(a) to protect any important geological, geomorphological or scenic features of the escarpment, and
(b) to facilitate safe community use and enjoyment of the escarpment.
The core objectives for management of community land categorised as a watercourse are—
(a) to manage watercourses so as to protect the biodiversity and ecological values of the instream environment, particularly in relation to water quality and water flows, and
(b) to manage watercourses so as to protect the riparian environment, particularly in relation to riparian vegetation and habitats and bank stability, and
(c) to restore degraded watercourses, and
(d) to promote community education, and community access to and use of the watercourse, without compromising the other core objectives of the category.
The core objectives for management of community land categorised as foreshore are—
(a) to maintain the foreshore as a transition area between the aquatic and the terrestrial environment, and to protect and enhance all functions associated with the foreshore’s role as a transition area, and
(b) to facilitate the ecologically sustainable use of the foreshore, and to mitigate impact on the foreshore by community use.
A plan of management for community land that is not owned by the council—
(a) must identify the owner of the land, and
(b) must state whether the land is subject to any trust, estate, interest, dedication, condition, restriction or covenant, and
(c) must state whether the use or management of the land is subject to any condition or restriction imposed by the owner, and
(d) must not contain any provisions inconsistent with anything required to be stated by paragraph (a), (b) or (c).
A council must give public notice of a draft plan of management.
The period of public exhibition of the draft plan must be not less than 28 days.
The public notice must also specify a period of not less than 42 days after the date on which the draft plan is placed on public exhibition during which submissions may be made to the council.
The council must, in accordance with its notice, publicly exhibit the draft plan together with any other matter which it considers appropriate or necessary to better enable the draft plan and its implications to be understood.
Before giving public notice of a draft plan of management in accordance with section 38, the council must forward a copy of the draft plan to the person who owns or controls the land if the land is not owned by the council.
The council must include in the draft plan any provisions that may properly be required by the person who owns or controls the land.
After considering all submissions received by it concerning the draft plan of management, the council may decide to amend the draft plan or to adopt it without amendment as the plan of management for the community land concerned.
If the council decides to amend the draft plan it must either—
(a) publicly exhibit the amended draft plan in accordance with the provisions of this Division relating to the public exhibition of draft plans, or
(b) if it is of the opinion that the amendments are not substantial, adopt the amended draft plan without public exhibition as the plan of management for the community land concerned.
If a council adopts an amended plan without public exhibition of the amended draft plan, it must give public notice of that adoption, and of the terms of the amended plan of management, as soon as practicable after the adoption.
The council may not, however, proceed to adopt the plan until any public hearing required under section 40A has been held in accordance with section 40A.
The council must hold a public hearing in respect of a proposed plan of management (including a plan of management that amends another plan of management) if the proposed plan would have the effect of categorising, or altering the categorisation of, community land under section 36(4).
However, a public hearing is not required if the proposed plan would merely have the effect of altering the categorisation of the land under section 36(5).
A council must hold a further public hearing in respect of the proposed plan of management if—
(a) the council decides to amend the proposed plan after a public hearing has been held in accordance with this section, and
(b) the amendment of the plan would have the effect of altering the categorisation of community land under section 36(4) from the categorisation of that land in the proposed plan that was considered at the previous public hearing.
A council may amend a plan of management adopted under this Division by means only of a plan of management so adopted.
A plan of management for community land may be revoked by a plan of management adopted under this Division by the council.
A plan of management ceases to apply to land if—
(a) the land is reclassified as operational land, or
(b) in the case of land that is not owned by the council—the land ceases to be controlled by the council.
A plan of management must be available for public inspection at, and purchase from, the office of the council during ordinary office hours.
Pending the adoption of a plan of management for community land, the nature and use of the land must not be changed.
A council has no power to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of community land.
A council may grant a lease or licence of community land, but only in accordance with this Division.
A council may grant any other estate in community land to the extent permitted by this Division or under the provisions of another Act.
The word
This section does not prevent a council from selling, exchanging or otherwise disposing of community land for the purpose of enabling that land to become, or be added to, Crown managed land or to become, or be added to, land that is reserved or dedicated under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974.
A lease, licence or other estate in respect of community land—
(a) may be granted for the provision of public utilities and works associated with or ancillary to public utilities, or
(a1) may be granted for the purpose of providing pipes, conduits or other connections under the surface of the ground for the connection of premises adjoining the community land to a facility of the council or other public utility provider, or
(b) may be granted, in accordance with an express authorisation in the plan of management and such provisions of the plan of management as apply to the granting of the lease, licence or other estate—
(i) for a purpose prescribed by subsection (4), or for a purpose prescribed by any of sections 36E to 36N as a core objective of the categorisation of the land concerned, or
(ii) for a purpose prescribed by the regulations, if the plan of management applies to several areas of community land, or
(iii) for a short-term, casual purpose prescribed by the regulations, or
(iv) for a residential purpose in relation to housing owned by the council, or
(v) (Repealed)
(c) may be granted in order to allow a filming project to be carried out, whether or not the project is in accordance with the plan of management or is consistent with the core objectives of the categorisation of the land concerned,
but may not otherwise be granted.
Despite subsection (1), a lease, licence or other estate in respect of community land may be granted for a purpose mentioned in subsection (1)(b) only if the purpose for which it is granted is consistent with the core objectives, as prescribed in this Part, of its categorisation.
A council must not grant a lease or licence for a period (including any period for which the lease or licence could be renewed by the exercise of an option) exceeding 30 years.
The following purposes are prescribed for the purposes of subsection (1)(b)(i)—
(a) the provision of goods, services and facilities, and the carrying out of activities, appropriate to the current and future needs within the local community and of the wider public in relation to any of the following—
(i) public recreation,
(ii) the physical, cultural, social and intellectual welfare or development of persons,
(b) the provision of public roads.
Purposes prescribed by subsection (4) in relation to the matters mentioned in subsection (4)(a)(ii) include, but are not limited to, maternity welfare centres, infant welfare centres, kindergartens, nurseries, child care centres, family day-care centres, surf life saving clubs, restaurants or refreshment kiosks.
A council must grant an application under subsection (1)(c) for a lease, licence or other estate in respect of community land in order to allow a filming project to be carried out on the land unless—
(a) the community land is land referred to in section 47AA(1), or
(b) the plan of management for the land expressly prohibits use of the land for the purposes of filming projects, or
(c) the council is satisfied that there are exceptional circumstances that warrant refusal of the application.
Before refusing an application on a ground referred to in subsection (5A)(c), the council must consider whether any concerns it has could be addressed by imposing conditions on the grant.
If the council refuses an application, it must—
(a) inform the applicant in writing of its decision as soon as practicable after it is made, and
(b) give the applicant reasons in writing for its decision within 3 business days after it is made.
A plan of management is void to the extent that it purports to authorise the grant of a lease, licence or other estate in contravention of this section.
A plan of management is to specify, in relation to the community land to which it applies, any purposes for which a lease, licence or other estate may be granted only by tender in accordance with Division 1 of Part 3.
Nothing in this section precludes a council from applying a tender process in respect of the grant of any particular lease, licence or estate.
A lease or licence for a term exceeding 5 years may be granted only by tender in accordance with Division 1 of Part 3, unless it is granted to a non-profit organisation.
If a council proposes to grant a lease, licence or other estate in respect of community land for a period (including any period for which the lease, licence or other estate could be renewed by the exercise of an option) exceeding 5 years, it must—
(a) give public notice of the proposal (including on the council’s website), and
(b) exhibit notice of the proposal on the land to which the proposal relates, and
(c) give notice of the proposal to such persons as appear to it to own or occupy the land adjoining the community land, and
(d) give notice of the proposal to any other person, appearing to the council to be the owner or occupier of land in the vicinity of the community land, if in the opinion of the council the land the subject of the proposal is likely to form the primary focus of the person’s enjoyment of community land.
A notice of the proposal must include—
• information sufficient to identify the community land concerned
• the purpose for which the land will be used under the proposed lease, licence or other estate
• the term of the proposed lease, licence or other estate (including particulars of any options for renewal)
• the name of the person to whom it is proposed to grant the lease, licence or other estate (if known)
• a statement that submissions in writing may be made to the council concerning the proposal within a period, not less than 28 days, specified in the notice.
Any person may make a submission in writing to the council during the period specified for the purpose in the notice.
Before granting the lease, licence or other estate, the council must consider all submissions duly made to it.
The council must not grant the lease, licence or other estate except with the Minister’s consent, if—
(a) a person makes a submission by way of objection to the proposal, or
(b) in the case of a lease or licence, the period (including any period for which the lease or licence could be renewed by the exercise of an option) of the lease or licence exceeds 21 years.
If the council applies for the Minister’s consent, it must forward with its application—
• a copy of the plan of management for the land
• details of all objections received and a statement setting out, for each objection, the council’s decision and the reasons for its decision
• a statement setting out all the facts concerning the proposal to grant the lease, licence or other estate
• a copy of the public notice of the proposal
• a statement setting out the terms, conditions, restrictions and covenants proposed to be included in the lease, licence or other estate
• if the application relates to a lease or licence for a period (including any period for which the lease or licence could be renewed by the exercise of an option) exceeding 21 years, a statement outlining the special circumstances that justify the period of the lease or licence exceeding 21 years
• a statement setting out the manner in which and the extent to which the public interest would, in the council’s opinion, be affected by the granting of the proposed lease, licence or other estate, including the manner in which and the extent to which the needs of the area with respect to community land would, in the council’s opinion, be adversely affected by the granting of the proposed lease, licence or other estate.
On receipt of the application, the Minister must request the Director of Planning to furnish a report concerning the application within such period as the Minister specifies.
After considering the application and any report of the Director of Planning, the Minister, if satisfied that—
(a) subsections (1), (2) and (6) have been complied with, and
(b) such consent would not contravene section 46, and
(c) in all the circumstances, it is desirable to grant consent,
may consent to the granting of a lease, licence or other estate in respect of the whole or part of the land to which the application relates, subject to such terms and conditions as the Minister specifies.
The Minister may consent to a lease or licence referred to in subsection (5)(b) only if the Minister is satisfied that there are special circumstances that justify the period of the lease or licence exceeding 21 years.
On request by any person, the Minister must provide that person, within 14 days of that request, with a written statement of reasons for consenting to, or refusing to consent to, the granting of a lease, licence or other estate in accordance with subsection (8).
The Minister’s consent is conclusive evidence that the council has complied with subsections (1), (2) and (6).
For the purposes of this section, any provision made by a lease or licence, or by an instrument granting any other estate, in respect of community land, according to which the council—
(a) would suffer a disadvantage or penalty if the same or a similar lease, licence or estate were not to be granted, for a further term, after the expiry of the current lease, licence or other estate, or
(b) would enjoy an advantage or benefit if the same or a similar lease, licence or estate were to be so granted,
is taken to confer an option for renewal for a term equal to the further term.
This section applies to a lease, licence or other estate in respect of community land granted for a period that (including any period for which the lease, licence or other estate could be renewed by the exercise of an option) does not exceed 5 years, other than a lease, licence or other estate exempted by the regulations.
If a council proposes to grant a lease, licence or other estate to which this section applies—
(a) the proposal must be notified and exhibited in the manner prescribed by section 47, and
(b) the provisions of section 47(3) and (4) apply to the proposal, and
(c) on receipt by the council of a written request from the Minister, the proposal is to be referred to the Minister, who is to determine whether or not the provisions of section 47(5)–(9) are to apply to the proposal.
If the Minister, under subsection (2)(c), determines that the provisions of section 47(5)–(9) are to apply to the proposal—
(a) the council, the Minister and the Director of Planning are to deal with the proposal in accordance with the provisions of section 47(1)–(8), and
(b) section 47(9) has effect with respect to the Minister’s consent.
A council that proposes to grant a lease, licence or other estate in respect of community land under section 47A in order to allow a filming project to be carried out on community land—
(a) that is critical habitat (as defined in section 36A(1)), or
(b) that is directly affected by a recovery plan or threat abatement plan, as referred to in section 36B(2), or
(c) that is declared to be an area of cultural significance under section 36D(1) because of the presence on the land of any item that the council considers to be of Aboriginal significance,
must, in addition to complying with section 47A, notify or advertise the proposal in the manner prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of this section.
