Leases and licences
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.
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.
