DRAFT DONATIONS AND IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS POLICY
Council at the Ordinary Council Meeting of 15 August 2024, resolved to place the draft Donations and In-kind Contributions Policy on Public Exhibition.
Weddin Shire Council is committed to the continued development of community capacity and sustainable communities through the provision of support to community organisations. This policy supersedes the Community Program Support policy.
The objective of this policy is to outline the framework for the various types of support (donations/grants and in-kind contributions) offered by Weddin Shire Council to its community.
The provision of community support by the Weddin Shire Council is based on a philosophy of partnership, whereby council provides opportunities for funding and in-kind contributions assistance to encourage, engage and support groups within the community to make a positive and on-going contribution to economic, social, cultural, recreational and environmental outcomes that are in line with the Weddin Shire Community Strategic Plan.
The purpose of this policy is to outline the framework for the various types of support (donations/grants and in-kind contributions) offered by Weddin Shire Council to its community.
The Policy is a local supplement to the provisions of the Act and Regulation.
The Public Exhibition period of 42 days provides the community an opportunity to provide feedback. Council welcomes any input or submissions to mail@weddin.nsw.gov.au by 5:00pm Monday 30 September 2024.

DRAFT CROWN LANDS - PLAN OF MANAGEMENT
Council at the Ordinary Council Meeting of 15 August 2024 resolved to place the draft Crown Lands - Plan of Management on Public Exhibition.
A suite of Crown Land legislative changes introduced in 2018 included the Crown Land Management Act 2016 and supporting Regulation. This introduced the need for NSW Councils to manage certain Crown Reserves and Dedications as Crown Land Manager.
Previously Council Reserves were jointly managed by Crown Lands and Council under separate legislation. The previous joint arrangements have been discarded in favour of Councils having administrative responsibility for the management of Crown Reserves.
The first step was for Council to undertake a classification for the 29 reserves into Park, Natural Area (Bushland), Sportsground, General Community Use and Reserves with multiple categories. Council then prepared Plan of Management (PoM) for all of the 29 former reserves, now Natural Areas or (Bushland) in conjuction with Crown Lands. Council is required to publicly notify and exhibit the Plan of Management under section 38 of the Local Government Act.
The Public Exhibition period of 42 days provides the community an opportunity to provide feedback. Council welcomes any input or submissions to mail@weddin.nsw.gov.au by 5:00pm Monday 30 September 2024.
