How we work
We’re responsible for ensuring a coordinated and consistent approach to managing the state’s vast Crown land.
New legislation comes into force this year that will improve the way Crown land is managed now and into the future. It will ensure decision making around Crown land encompasses environmental, social, cultural heritage and economic considerations and facilitate enhanced community engagement in decisions about Crown land.
It is also important to recognise Aboriginal involvement in the management of Crown land, including recognition of Aboriginal land rights, native title rights and interests and the spiritual, social, cultural and economic importance of Crown land to Aboriginal people.
