Overview
Plans of management are legal documents that are developed and maintained to guide how Crown Land will be sustainably managed. These plans include:
- Identifying the key values of the land and its purposes so they can be protected and enhanced.
- Outlining how the reserve and its features, will generally be managed and maintained, it does not determine the specific work schedules (mowing, maintenance or upgrades); these are determined operationally by relevant staff.
- Aiming to meet the ongoing needs of the local community.
- Indicating how the land may be used or developed (e.g. leases, licences and short term uses)
Under the Crown Land Management ACT (CLM) 2016 and the Local Government Act 1993 (LG Act), Councils are required to produce Plans of Management for Crown Lands under their care and management that are classified as “Community Land”.
Crown land is land owned by the NSW State Government (the Crown), some of which is managed by Dubbo Regional Council as Crown Land Manager, under the Crown Land Management Act 2016.
Crown reserves are land set aside on behalf of the community for a wide range of public purposes, including environmental and heritage protection, recreation and sport, open space, community halls, special events and government services.
