Australian Land Law

Australian Land Law governs the rights, responsibilities, and transactions related to land ownership and use. It defines how land can be bought, sold, leased, or transferred, and establishes legal interests such as freehold, leasehold, and equitable interests. The law also addresses zoning, planning regulations, native title rights, and environmental protections. Essentially, it provides a framework to ensure clarity, security, and fairness in land dealings, balancing individual rights with community and environmental considerations. This legal structure helps prevent disputes and ensures that land management aligns with national and state policies.
