During the June 2024 meeting, the Controlled Document Project Control Group endorsed a new Lease and Licensing Policy with Council resolving that the new Lease and Licensing Policy be sent out to the community for consultation and community feedback.

Our Lease and Licensing Policy guides how we make decisions about the leasing and licensing of City of Ballarat owned or managed buildings and land.

The Policy is designed to ensure a consistent and equitable approach for:

  • Applying for a lease
  • Assessing applications
  • Setting key terms, like rent and length of term, and
  • Other administrative matters.

The updates and improvements to the Policy include:

  • Update of the format within the document
  • Updated Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) to Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA)
  • Removal of Transfer Fees under section 3.3.1 Rental Fees and Charges
  • Update of Legislation used under section 4 Supporting documents and references
