Joint Use Agreement Policy

To outline the conditions and parameters of the development of a Joint Use Agreement to establish a partnership with a third party agency/organisation. The policy applies to the development and use of all facilities constructed and managed in partnership with a third party, typically the education sector. The construction may occur solely on the third party’s land or across land owned partially by Council and the third party. A Joint Use Agreement aims to provide facilities that meet a demonstrated community need and the needs of the agency/organisation. By partnering with a third party, the development and use of the proposed facility should represent economic benefits to Council in savings in land and/or construction costs.
