Crown land leases

Crown land leases are agreements where the government (the Crown) grants individuals or entities the right to use specific public land for a set period, typically for purposes like agriculture, mining, conservation, or development. These leases do not transfer ownership of the land but give tenants legal permission to access and utilize it under agreed conditions. Leaseholders often pay rent or royalties and must adhere to rules established by the government to ensure responsible use of public resources.
