Our Property Services team assists in managing properties for purchase, sale, build, lease and maintenance.
This includes general property transactions, caveats, covenants easements, lease negotiations, highest and best use of property and the ongoing management of assets for the common wealth of the Church.

Property Application Review Team (PART)
PART is a sub-committee of the Property and Operations Committee and processes applications for property and finance matters.
It considers Money for Mission Fund applications and has the authority to make decisions within respective policies and authority limits.
Property matters include applications to lease, build, purchase, sell and develop. Finance matters include applications for a loan, grant (Disability Access Fund or Emergency), use of property sale proceeds, and establishment of an Interest Only Mission Fund.
All works requiring a permit (planning/building/heritage), are more than $50,000, or funded by property sale, require PART approval. Works between $20,000-$50,000 funded by reserves and needing no permits require Presbytery approval only. All works more than $50,000 require PART approval.
