Land, Buildings and Equipment
Legal issues about land, buildings or equipment may include:
- hiring a venue or equipment;
- leasing a building or land for your community organisation;
- letting or sub-letting a building or land that is owned by your community organisation;
- buying or selling property;
- being gifted property;
- vehicles; and
- related insurance and tax issues.
There are a number of websites (not-for-profit and government) that already provide useful information on these issues - we have listed some key resources in the Links section below. If your organisation needs specific legal advice, go to Legal Advice to see if you are eligible for our telephone advice or referral services.
