Lease
Approval to grant or vary a lease or accept surrender may be given by a church council or other responsible body where:
(i) the term of the lease including any options for renewal does not exceed three years; and no more than $100,000; and – should this be lower
(ii) the premises are not a church building, church hall or a minister’s residence.
Otherwise, approval by Property Services is required.
Property Services’ approval is also required when a lease is to be entered into. In most circumstances, leases must be executed by the Property Trust, taken or granted in the name of the Property Trust, and copies lodged with Property Services.
Detailed information about leases and licences can be found in the Property Manual – Section 6 Leases and Licenses.
