Lands Management Plan
The 2016 Kangaroo Island Council Lands Management Plan incorporating amendments to February 2024, has been prepared based on the requirements of the Local Government Act 1999 [the Act] for a management plan to be developed for Community Land.
In 2021 the process commenced to systematically update Data Sheets contained within the Plan to ensure specific accord with recent changes to the Act. Data Sheets containing land that is not or is no longer community land (within the definition in Section 4 and Section 193 of the Act) are also being removed, and land which is being considered for disposal or surrender of custodianship (dedicated crown land under the care, control and management of Council) will be specifically identified. A review of the other Chapters in the Plan is also underway.
All changes to the Plan which are not strictly administrative in nature and could be considered of interest to the Community, eg Proposals for the Management of the Land, are required under the Act to be put out for public consultation. Details of current consultations can be found here.
