Trust land self-assessment tool
Trustees take actions to manage and maintain the lands entrusted to them and work with communities to use the land. Trustees may also choose to grant leases and permits to third parties to help them achieve the purpose of the land, e.g. leasing clubhouses to sporting groups.
Recent changes to the Land Act 1994 make it easier for many trustees to self-assess and deliver benefits to the community. Trustees can use this tool to help them determine if and when they can make certain decisions without seeking approval from the Department. The tool covers:
- trustee leases - authorises a third party to use and occupy the trust land.
- trustee permits – a short-term non-exclusive form of tenure to a third-party.
- taking an action – activities and uses the trustee undertakes in their roles and responsibilities as trustee.
