Draft Road Reserve Leasing Policy

Consultation has concluded

Consultation period: Thursday 8 June to Thursday 6 July 2023

Council has drafted a new Road Reserve Leasing Policy that applies to existing and new roads that are owned by Council and accompanied by legislative obligations. The draft Policy allows adjoining property owners to apply to lease an area of Council owned road reserve adjacent to their property.

Occupation types for road reserve leases include, but are not limited to:

  • Carports
  • Landscaped areas
  • Garages
  • Fences
  • Storage under driveways
  • Any other temporary structure that can be easily demolished or removed.

We are seeking feedback on the draft Policy to ensure it meets the needs of our community. You can provide feedback until 6 July 2023.

Review the policy and share your feedback:

  • Online by taking the survey below
  • Email to property@ssc.nsw.gov.au

Next steps

Following community consultation, Council will review and consider all feedback. Some changes may be made to the draft Policy. It will then be finalised and reported to Council for adoption. We will keep interested members of the community updated.
