The City’s Property Management Framework helps to strategically guide the assessment of suitable uses and occupation arrangements on City owned or managed land / buildings.
It does this by classifying City properties in a way that supports their most appropriate use and outlines the standard requirements for entering into a tenure arrangement (e.g. lease, licence or management agreement) with the City.
The Framework has been in place since 2012 and was recently reviewed in November 2022. Details on the new Framework, including FAQs and a copy of the document are able to be downloaded below.
For any enquiries on new or existing tenure arrangements, please call the City’s Property Management Team on 9400 4362 or email info@joondalup.wa.gov.au.
Should you wish to apply for a new tenancy arrangement, please download and complete the Tenancy Request – Application Package and email to info@joondalup.wa.gov.au.
It is strongly advised that you contact the City’s Property Management Team to discuss your application before submitting to the City for assessment.

Removal of Beach Enclosure
The City of Joondalup in conjunction with the State Government installed a beach enclosure at Sorrento Beach in late 2016, however at its November 2020 meeting, Joondalup Council unanimously resolved to remove the Sorrento Beach enclosure due to the compromised integrity of the structure. Removal of the beach enclosure has been completed.
The City will investigate options for the provision of a replacement enclosure. This will enable the City to adequately investigate and plan appropriately to implement a new enclosure, aided by the lessons learnt from the Sorrento Beach enclosure.
