Concessions

17ZA: Registration of easements

You could also call this:

"Protecting special areas: registering rights to use someone else's land"

When an easement is granted over a conservation area, the Minister is considered the registered owner of that area. You need to know what an easement is - it's a right to use someone else's land for a specific purpose. The Minister being the registered owner helps with the process of granting easements.

The law about easements has been changed over time, with some parts added or removed, such as by the Conservation Amendment Act 1996 and the Land Transfer Act 2017. These changes affect how easements are registered and managed. You can find more information about these changes by looking at the laws that were passed.
