Crown land 2031 State Strategic Plan (PDF 3,78KB) vision for NSW is that our community has high aspirations to derive better value from public land to support resilient and prosperous communities. The diversity and extent of the Crown estate means we will continue to play a lead role in land and asset management. Comprehensive planning, design, construction, and maintenance of structures will help to increase their life span, save money, and minimise impacts on Crown land reserves.

What we will be doing

- we will continue to permanently close Bexhill Quarry to the public. This is not a public reserve and entering the site will be considered trespassing.
