The government identifies vacant community zoned land and undertakes site investigations and community consultation prior to commencing the sale process. The range of uses permitted on the block may be restricted in order to meet a gap in community facilities. Gaps in community facilities 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.
