Pastoral lessees need the consent of the Commissioner of Crown Lands before carrying out various activities on the land.
The table below lists the activities which need the Commissioner’s consent. If you have any questions about whether a proposed activity requires consent, or you are unsure what sort of information you need to provide, please email pastoral@linz.govt.nz.
Under the Crown Pastoral Land Reform Bill, a new consents regime will come into effect.
Consent for minor activities
The Commissioner has granted consent to all pastoral lessees to undertake "minor activities” such as those only requiring a handheld shovel or spade. This consent also extends to activities undertaken within a fenced in area around the homestead located on the pastoral lease, such as tree felling or sowing seed.
