Hi David,
The below was a response on the FAQ on the Reform website in regards to an oval.
“You should first determine if the land meets the definition of Government land, if the land is owned by council, and not leased for value (i.e. leased for more than just a nominal rent) then it should be classified as Government Land, in accordance with Section 3.1(a) of the Preliminary Land Classification Manual for Local Government.
If the land does not meet the Government land definition, it is not used for profit making purpose and the dominant use is for public benefit then it should be classified as Public Benefit Land.
A property cannot be classified as Public Benefit Land if it can be classified as Government Land. If the land meets the definition of Government land it does not need to be subclassified as Public Benefit .Mixed development classification is applicable for land that is classified as both residential and non residential.”
I do question/query Appendix E – Definition of Industrial Land…there a quite a few locations specified that would be Council owned, however using Figure 1 Preliminary land classification process these could be coded as GOVT.
