Leases and licences

Leases

A lease of Crown land enables exclusive use over a particular piece of land for a specified term and purpose.  The information in this section refers to leases granted under the Crown Land Act 1989, and not perpetual leases, special leases or term leases which are subject to the Crown Lands (Continued Tenures) Act 1989.

Licences

A Crown land licence is a contractual agreement that grants the licensee a personal right to occupy and use Crown land for a particular purpose. It does not grant exclusive possession of the land, as is the case with a lease, and may permit the land to be used by other persons.

Concessions and hardship relief

The Land and Property Management Authority (LPMA) administers leases, licences and occupancies over Crown land under the provisions of the Crown Lands Acts. LPMA charges annual market rent for tenures on Crown land and provides a range of concessions to indivduals and organisations. More information including policy and Q&As.

Minimum rent, water access only rebates and CPI value 

The table below shows the latest figures for minimum rent, water access only rebates and CPI value. The minimum rent amount can be no less than the statutory minimum rent as set out in the Crown Lands Act 1989, which changes on a quarterly basis in line with CPI.

You can object to the redetermination of rent, however, you can only object to the market rent, not the level of rebate or waiver. While you have a right of appeal at the Local Land Board (for rents under $10,000) or at the NSW Land and Environment Court (for rents $10,000 and above) rents cannot fall below the statutory minimum.
