If you want to have facilities such as jetties, berthing areas, boat ramps, slipways and pontoons on foreshore Crown land adjoining your property, you will need a Domestic Waterfront Licence.
The licence agreement starts from the transfer date on the title - typically the settlement or acquisition date. It is granted to the registered owners of the adjoining property where structures are below the mean high-water mark. The licence agreement outlines the responsibility of the licence holder over the life cycle of the structure, from initial granting of licence, ownership, care and maintenance, rent and payments, indemnity and insurance, through to the removal of a structure.
