Enabling Upgrade Finance
Councils need to pass a resolution to enable local business to access Upgrade Finance from lenders within the private sector.
The resolution also secures a delegation so the Chief Executive Officer (or another suitably authorised officer) can:

-
declare an Upgrade Charge and collect the Upgrade Finance repayments
Better Building Finance is available to provide assistance to councils considering establishing a Upgrade Finance program.
