Council has various areas of vacant land available for lease. Individuals wishing to lease any of the available areas are invited to complete an Offer of Lease Submission Form. Lease periods of 5 years will be offered (unless otherwise stated) commencing from 1 July 2024.

Whilst offers are being invited, there is a minimum amount Council must receive for each area of land available. This minimum fee is based on Councils current fees and charges and rental market assessments.

Please note that the submitted offer, if accepted will form the Lease fee, with an annual increase on 1 July each year based on the previous quarter in line with the movement of CPI.

A lease preparation fee of $339.00 incl GST which is non-refundable will be charged to the successful applicant.
