Land management agreements
A number of different schemes have been introduced to help achieve broader environmental objectives in return for direct funding or tradeable credits.

Filming projects on Crown land means the filming component of a film, a documentary, an advertisement, a television program or a set of television programs.
Compliance matters
Regulatory compliance includes a range of processes, procedures and actions that help ensure the sound application of Crown land legislation.
Reserve planning
Crown land managers are encouraged to prepare a strategic plan for all Crown reserves in their care, control and management.
Emergency management
Crown land managers must be prepared and have a plan for emergency management to help reduce the effect of an emergency, saving lives and property.

Managing risk is crucial to protect people, preserve the land and its assets, and provide security from financial, reputational, legal or administrative damage.
Case study – risk management
In this example of risk assessment, we consider lawn mowing on a Crown reserve. Although a simple activity, there is a risk to staff and visitors.
Leases and licences
From one-off activities to a 10-year lease, there are many types of tenure which Crown land managers are responsible under the Crown Land Management Act 2016.
