Land Use and Transport Infrastructure Service Delivery
Crown land management
The Department also has the responsibility of making sure that enough land is made available to meet community needs, while incorporating necessary environmental safeguards. Crown land actions represent one of the principal outputs of the Department’s land services to the State. They include the actions related to Crown land administration such as land inspections, tenure searches and lease rental adjustments.
They also include survey contracts and transactions such as creation and cancellation of leases, reserves and roads, the transfer of Crown land into the freehold environment and other registrable transactions required under the Land Administration Act 1997.
Therefore, the cost per government land action is a useful indicator for this function. The table below demonstrates the average cost of managing Crown land actions.
The variance in cost is the differential in the former Department of Land Administration (DOLA) corporate overheads and DPI corporate overheads, and the quantity was over-estimated by DOLA being 8,150, where actual was 6,846 land actions.
