Crown Reserves, where Council is the Crown Land Manager, are managed as if they are public land under the Local Government Act 1993.

When Crown Land receives a “Community” classification under the Local Government Act, it becomes categorised in line with its Reserve Purpose and a Plan of Management is developed.

What are Plans of Management?

Plans of Management are useful tools for managing community land. Plans of Management set out objectives and performance targets for community land and promotes active land management and use, including issuing tenures over the land.

Council is currently writing Plans of Management
