Market-led Proposals - Market-led proposals and the use of beneficial enterprises for the disposal of land

When a member of the public puts forward a unique proposal to a local government which would involve the disposal of land (by lease or sale) owned by that local government, the process in which that local government must follow should be carefully considered. With the right guidelines and procedures in place, the local government can successfully deliver innovative solutions proposed by the private sector without offending any legislation or any probity principles.
