Community Asset Transfer

Community Asset Transfer allows for the transfer by lease, ownership or other management arrangement of land or buildings currently owned by Dundee City Council provided certain criteria are followed.

Ownership or control of land and/or buildings can be a powerful way for communities to drive change and achieve their own goals. It can provide opportunities for community groups to develop services or activities, provide stability and sustainability and create a stronger sense of community identity, cohesion and involvement.

Before you make an Asset Transfer Request you are strongly recommended to contact the Council’s Community Empowerment Officer and complete a Dundee City Council pre-application form.
