Submission Form - Draft Amended Encroachment Management Policy

Submissions closed 18 December 2019

On 28 October 2019, Council considered a report detailing the proposed amendments to Council's Encroachment Management Policy and resolved to endorse the amended policy for public exhibition. The report is available in document library, hard copies can be viewed at Council’s Customer Service Centre and Stanton Library during opening hours.

The proposed amendments to Council’s Encroachment Management Policy are in accordance with the Local Government Act 1993, and were developed for the following purposes:

• To more effectively manage airbridge encroachments for vehicular access over Council’s footpath and/or other public land in relation to both commercial and residential properties; and
• To determine the best and fairest approach when assessing the rental/compensation payable to Council in relation to leases, licences and easements.
