Investments
What we do
Council generates income by investment and development from a range of assets that it owns.
Income generated from assets is an important income stream for Council as it off-sets some of costs
of providing services. Income is also used to pay off debt due to the ETA and the construction of other
community infrastructure.
We aim to maximise return from commercial land development, property, the TEL fund, forestry and
our general reserve funds. Council will also be looking at public/private partnership opportunities to
generate income to subsidise rates. Council intends to use a mixture of lease and sales of its
commercial land, to provide the best long term outcome for ratepayers.
This group of activities contributes to the economic community outcome.
