You will need this lease if you intend to occupy Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander land.
To obtain a lease, you must apply to the trustee of the land (for example, the local Indigenous council). Land leases are primarily granted for home ownership, however the relevant trustee may agree to grant a lease for other purposes at their discretion, including:
- commercial activities
- cultural activities
- religious practices
- government services
- public infrastructure.
Each trustee has their own process for lease applications, so contact them before applying.
