The Crown Land Act is legislation that governs the management and use of public lands owned by the government, often referred to as Crown land. This act outlines the rules for leasing, licensing, and selling these lands, ensuring that they are used sustainably and in the public interest. Under the act, various activities such as agriculture, forestry, and recreation can be permitted, but they must comply with specific regulations. The act also aims to protect the environment and cultural heritage associated with Crown land, balancing development with conservation efforts.
