Overview
It is the responsibility of Asset Management to know what land and property is owned, how much it costs to maintain and whether it makes a contribution to what we do. From this we make decisions on what improvements or investments are made, what maintenance is needed and what we recommend is bought or sold.
What do we own?
The Council owns a range of land and buildings. Sustainability is responsible for planning how the land is used, and Neighbourhood Services are responsible for the maintenance of the land.
