You may require a licence or lease if you intend to use or access unreserved crown land to conduct non-agricultural activities.
Your activities will need to comply with relevant local planning schemes, and you may be required to obtain planning approval. The agency will not grant a lease or licence until you have obtained planning approval (if required).
Examples of commercial or industrial purposes include:
- constructing electric lines
- gravel extraction
- water storage
- use of machinery or power tools
- taking stone, sand or gravel.
Unreserved crown land may periodically be made available to lease by auction or public tender.
