Leases, licences, easements and permits
The department supports a wide range of uses for Crown land. To ensure the land is used correctly, we are responsible for issuing licences, lease and permits.
-
Leases
Learn about how a Crown land lease enables exclusive use over a particular piece of land for a specified term and purpose.
-
Licences
We issue licences to individuals, businesses and community organisations for a range of processes.

Easements
Easements generally provide the right to access and use land while the legal title or ownership of the land remains with the owner of the land.
-
Enclosure permits
We issue enclosure permits to individuals and businesses who have Crown roads within their property and want to avoid fencing the road out.
-
Conveyancing search
A Crown land conveyancing search will provide a range of important information before purchasing a property.

Rents
Holders of leases, licences and permits to occupy Crown Land are required to pay rent.
