Australian land system

The Australian land system involves how land is owned, used, and managed, governed by a mix of federal, state, and local laws. It includes private property rights, government land (public reserves and national parks), and Indigenous land rights. Land use planning balances development, agriculture, conservation, and Indigenous interests. The system also addresses zoning, environmental protection, and land tenure, ensuring sustainable and equitable use of Australia’s diverse landscapes. Overall, it’s a framework that helps allocate land for various purposes while protecting natural resources and respecting cultural rights.
