Changes made to council’s disposal policy
Whyalla City Council has adopted a minor change to its Disposal Policy, in accordance with the Local Government Act.
The disposal policy seeks to:
Define the methods by which land and assets are disposed of;
Demonstrate accountability and responsibility of council to ratepayers;
Be fair and equitable to all parties involved;
Enable all processes to be monitored and recorded; and
Ensure that the best possible outcome is achieved for the council
Very minor changes to the policy have been made to reduce imposition on administration, with the frequency of review being changed from biennial to four yearly.
The disposal policy will now be reviewed every four years by the newly elected council following a Local Government Election, however must be reviewed within two years of the council’s appointment.
In accordance with the Local Government Act, Whyalla City Council maintains a suite of polices that guide and direct the actions of the council and its administration.
These polices are reviewed on a periodic basis to ensure their relevance is maintained.
