Commercial leasing
Marinas and associated foreshore commercial land uses are important features of the tidal and non-tidal waterways of New South Wales. These developments are often on or adjoin Crown land.
The following Policy is consistent with the commercial policies, business rules and operations applied to these waterfront and maritime activities/structures following the formation of the Department of Lands. It has been developed to further explain the framework and practices applied, and to strengthen the partnership between the Crown, which is the owner of the land, and private and public sector organisations that develop, operate and maintain these facilities. In many cases, the use of the foreshore covers both freehold and Crown land. Accordingly, this Policy recognises the complex history behind the development of these facilities and the resultant land ownership pattern.
The New South Wales Department of Lands is responsible for the administration of all Crown land in New South Wales under the provisions of the Crown Lands Act 1989. Under the Crown Lands Act Crown land resources are to be shared equitably in accordance with the principles of environmental protection, conservation and ecological sustainability, public use and enjoyment, as well as encouraging multiple use of the land.
