Wetland Lease

 

Commercial Leases


 
The nature of commercial leases is such that the rental charges are determined on the basis of independent advice provided by registered valuers. Rental reviews are generally conducted on a three or five yearly basis.
 

Private Leases

Rents for sites used for private recreation purposes on terms that preclude commercial activities are calculated on a rate per square metre of occupation. In 2008 they range from $21.07 to $88.52 per square metre per annum depending on the location of the occupation. These wetland rates are subject to review annually to reflect the latest Statutory Land Values.
