Shack Leases

In reply to the Hon. J.A. DARLEY (22 July 2020).

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services): The Minister for Environment and Water has advised:

1. The cost of freeholding a shack site will be calculated pursuant to the Crown Land Management Act 2009 (CLMA). The CLMA requires that the Minister for Environment and Water must not dispose of Crown land for less than the market value of the Crown's interest in the land.

2. The market value of the Crown's interest in the land excludes any site improvements made by the lessee such as the buildings, landscaping or ancillary structures.

3. Shack owners who are eligible and wish to purchase the site freehold will be required to make their own financial arrangements.
