Licence benefits

Commercial activities on Council managed land policies aim to support commercial activity while giving the community certainty that all commercial users are appropriately licensed and insured.

In addition to land and buildings that we own, we also manage a number of Crown Land Reserves on behalf of the NSW Government.

When we are appointed as Crown Land Manager, we are responsible for the care, control and management of the property as per the Local Government Act (1993) and the Crown Lands Management Act (2016).
