Crown property applications

If you are concerned with the decision that's been made in relation to your application, you may be able to apply for a rehearing and/or can make a complaint.

Statutory framework

The lands and properties we look after are held under a range of different legislation, each with different requirements. This means the obligations we have vary, depending on the legislation that applies.

If you are an eligible applicant you can apply for various property interests in reclaimed coastal land, ranging from freehold title to interests such as a lease, licence, or an easement.
