Conservation Act 1987

Concessions

17Z: Term of concession

You could also call this:

"How long you can have a concession for, like a lease or permit, on public land"

When you get a lease or licence for a concession, it can last for up to 30 years, including any renewals. If the Minister thinks there are exceptional circumstances, it can last for up to 60 years. You can have a permit for up to 10 years, but you cannot renew it.

If you get an easement, it can last for up to 30 years, but the Minister can grant a longer term in exceptional circumstances. The Minister can also grant a longer term if the easement is for access to a property with no other practical access. For a public work, as defined in the Public Works Act 1981, the term can be for the duration of that work.

The Minister decides how long each concession lasts, based on the circumstances.
