A CID is a defined geographic area where property owners pay an additional levy to fund supplementary services that improve the public environment.  In the Riverside CID, these include:

• Urban management that addresses the upkeep of infrastructure, signage, street lighting, and landscaping.
• Enhanced public safety with additional security services and camera surveillance to reduce crime.
• Cleaning and maintenance of public spaces.
• Marketing and place-making, promoting the precinct and businesses within the precinct and creating a positive brand.

The Riverside CID provides proactive urban management services for property value retention and growth.

The benefits of owning a property within this well-managed precinct include:

• Attractive investment destination where additional services and an improved environment lead to increased property values and rental yields.
• A desirable address for property owners and tenants.
• Improved safety and security through camera surveillance and an active security presence.
• Quality of life and quality of business enhancements that include improved public spaces, cleaner streets, well-maintained infrastructure and street lighting.
• Sustainable urban practices including environmental conservation and efficient management of resources.

Properties located within the Riverside Precinct are subject to specific urban design controls which are shared with prospective purchasers and included in a sale agreement when a property transaction is concluded.  Compliance with the precinct urban design framework is managed by the CID management agent.

The process typically involves the following:

• Identifying a suitable development property and obtaining confirmation of zoning and development controls to ensure that these allow for the planned development.
• Negotiating and agreeing the terms of the sale.
• Signing a sale agreement.
• Payment of the purchase price and transfer fees which are held in trust by the transferring attorney until the transfer registers in the office of the Registrar of Deeds. 
• Signing transfer documents generated by the transferring attorney.
• Transfer of the property in the office of the Registrar of Deeds where a new title deed will be issued to the purchaser.
