A number of different tenure agreements (the conditions under which land or buildings are held or occupied) are available for not for profit (NFP) groups, such as:
- short and long term leases
- permits or licences
- management and user agreements, or
- a combination of the above.
The type of tenure offered by Council will depend on:
- the type of activity undertaken
- what infrastructure is required
- the suitability of the premises, and
- how regularly the activity occurs.
