Where a community group or voluntary organisation has a business plan for delivering activities and services from a council owned asset, the council will consider a request to transfer that asset.

The council recognises and supports the contribution that the voluntary and community sector brings to the vitality and wellbeing of the city.

The council will look positively at Community Asset Transfer (CAT) as an integral part of enabling new and innovative means of local service delivery where it will bring benefits to our communities and contribute towards the council's aims and objectives.

Please see the Downloads section for assets currently available, expression of interest form and Asset Transfer Strategy.
