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.
