Crown land 2031
Thanks to all of the stakeholders and community members who contributed to developing and finalising Crown land 2031 – State Strategic Plan for Crown lands.
Read the final endorsed plan Crown land 2031 (PDF, 3.7 MB) out more about how we will be implementing it over the next 10 years.
Under the Crown Land Management Act 2016 (the Act) the NSW Government is required to create a State Strategic Plan for Crown land. The State Strategic Plan sets the vision, priorities and overarching strategy for the management of Crown land and outline timeframes and outcomes.
The draft State Strategic Plan identified four key priority areas to enable the use of Crown land to evolve and meet changing community needs.
The draft plan identified outcomes for each of these priority areas, as well as short, medium and long term timeframes from 2020 through to 2030.
A range of initiatives to support the delivery of the outcomes were also identified in the draft plan. These included:
- making more of our information available and transparent
- standardising leasing and licensing for common activities
- engaging and supporting a new generation of Crown land managers.
