The Property Network Group began as an informal meeting of officers interested in sharing information for the purpose of satisfying Best Value benchmarking requirements. Since this first meting in August 2001 attended by 7 people, the group has grown to a mail list of over 60 members, representing over 30 municipalities from both urban and regional areas. The group meets quarterly at various municipalities. The meetings generally involve a guest speaker or presentation in an area of interest, and an informal discussion session.
