Effect of dedication or reservation for public use
2.17 Effect of dedication or reservation for public use
The dedication or reservation of Crown land under this Part for a purpose that permits or requires its use by members of the public does not—
prevent the holder of a holding over the land from using it for commercial purposes, or
prevent the person responsible for the care, control and management of the land from charging fees for the use of the land by members of the public (provided the fees collected are used in accordance with this Act), or
entitle members of the public to have unrestricted access to the land (particularly, in relation to any part of the land under a holding).
Note.
Section 3.16 will generally require Crown land managers for dedicated or reserved Crown land to apply any fees charged for the use of the land for the improvement of the land and its purposes. Also, paragraph (c) allows for restrictions on, but not wholesale prohibitions of, access to the land.
