Managing Recreation Reserves and Halls

Section 86 Committees

Committes, made up of dedicated community members, manage recreation facilities and public halls on behalf of Baw Baw Shire Council. These groups are called Section 86 Commitees, which are formal entities under the Victoria Local Government Act 1989.

There are 22 of these Committees in Baw Baw Shire who are supported by committed and hard working volunteers which keep community facilities running. The schedule of meetings lists when each of these committees meet during the year.

Baw Baw Shire Council has a Good Practice Guide which contains all the information and forms you need to manage community facilities. 

If you would like to speak with someone at Baw Baw Shire Council about Section 86 Committees and managing recreation reserves, contact Recreation, on (03) 5624 2411
