The Crown Reserves Improvement Fund supports Crown land managers by providing funding for repairs, maintenance and improvements on Crown reserves.

In addition to the Crown Reserves Improvement Fund, Crown land managers may have other suitable ways to finance reserve activities.

Insurance

To help eligible Crown land managers and their members manage Crown reserves, the Department provides insurance at no cost through the Treasury Managed Fund.

Crown land managers are accountable for reserve funds under their control and must maintain high standards of accountability, transparency and expenditure.

Procurement

Purchasing is an ongoing activity for many Crown land managers and it’s important that procurement processes are transparent, accountable and documented.
