Lands, reserves and cemeteries

We are responsible for the management of NSW’s Crown land, covering 42% of the state, including parks, reserves, roads and cemeteries.

Protecting and enhancing Crown land is essential for business, tourism, recreation, well-being and the biodiversity of the state. Crown land has significant spiritual, social, cultural and economic importance to the Aboriginal people of NSW.

Read about the Crown land legislation that came into force on 1 July 2018.
