Community asset committees
Community Asset Committees (CACs) are made up of volunteers who directly manage daily operational activities at nominated halls and recreation reserves on behalf of Moorabool Shire Council. The role of these Committees is to deliver a service on behalf of Council to their community, including managing a Council facility to ensure it remains accessible and usable by those in the community that depend on the use of the facility.
Community Asset Committees create greater local connection and bring local knowledge that results in more community initiated activation of facilities. We thank all our Committee members for their service to their communities and acknowledge the important contribution to the management of community facilities they provide.
History of Community Asset Committees
The Local Government Act 2020 (The Act) came into effect on 1 May 2020, providing a new structure for formal Committees of Council.
Under the Act, Section 86 Committees (from the Local Government Act 1989) ceased to exist. A Community Asset Committee (CAC) can be established under s65 of the Act.
In accordance with Section 65 of the Local Government Act 2020, Council established eleven Community Asset Committees that have delegated powers by the Chief Executive Officer. These committees were first established in 2020.
