The government identifies vacant community zoned land and undertakes site investigations and community consultation prior to commencing the sale process. The government will nominate the site's primary use which is mandatory and the secondary use/s which are optional. These uses usually meet a gap in community facilities which can be determined by using:
- community and recreational facilities assessments and other relevant planning studies;
- current and projected population data;
- community feedback (both individuals and organisations);
- government priorities, objectives and strategies; and
- feedback and advice from all directorates through various governance bodies.
