New South Wales Consolidated Acts

CROWN LAND MANAGEMENT ACT 2016 - SECT 3.21

3.21 Management in accordance with Local Government Act 1993

(1) A council manager is authorised to classify and manage its dedicated or reserved Crown land as if it were public land within the meaning of the Local Government Act 1993 , subject to this Division.

Note--: The term
"public land" (as defined by the Local Government Act 1993 ) excludes land to which this Act applies even if it is vested in or under the control of a local council. The Act also requires local councils to classify their public lands as either community land or operational land and manage the land accordingly.

(2) Accordingly, a council manager is also authorised to manage its dedicated or reserved Crown land as if it were community land or operational land, but only as permitted or required by this Division.

Note--: For example, requirements relating to reporting and plans of management will generally be as provided by the Local Government Act 1993 rather than this Act.
