  IMPLEMENTATION
  To ensure that the policy is effectively implemented, it should be embedded within Council’s business
  and operational processes. Key components of this approach include:
 •     Regular Scanning for Opportunities: Regular and proactive search for potential land activation
       opportunities that could deliver significant impacts for the community and Council. This involves a
       continuous review of Council’s land portfolio to identify underutilised or strategically important land
       assets that could be activated.
 •     Comprehensive Due Diligence: Before any land activation is undertaken, a thorough due
       diligence process should be conducted. This includes site analysis, environmental assessments,
       legal reviews, consultation with key stakeholders and needs assessment. The goal is to ensure
                                                                                                            5
