August 2020 Overview
CROWN LAND REVIEW OPERATIONAL LAND AUGUST 2020 OVERVIEW Overview Introduction of the Crown Land Management Act 2016 (CLM Act) has changed management structures for Crown Land with the introduction of Crown Land Managers to replace Crown Land Trusts. The legislation came into force in from 1 July 2018 and required Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) to review and manage 193 Crown Land reserves. Under the Local Government Act 1993, Council manages land through a classification as either ‘Operational’ for ‘Community.’ DRC has completed an extensive a review of the 193 Crown Land reserves. Operational reserves have been reviewed with the fundamental parameters that have underpinned the proposed reclassifications: 1. Where there appears to be no actual public use of the land and or no ongoing need to consult or involve the community in the continued management of the land. 2. Ongoing management of the land parcel is maintained and upgraded with agreed service levels as a corporate function. 3. The changing needs of the community now, and in the future will, require Council to be responsive and flexible in how its assets are applied to services and facilities. 4. Council is seeking to maximise the use of its land holdings economically but in balance with the community’s environmental and social priorities. 5. To correctly classify Council land that has a pure operational focus and function. The purpose of classification is to identify land that should be kept for use by the general public (community), such as parks, and land which have a pragmatic purpose with defined public access, such as a rubbish depot or sewage treatment plant.
