NSW Electricity Privatisation – background and issues
NSW Government Crown Lands Department
The creation of a government-owned corporation from other forms of government ownership may be a precursor to privatisation.
Postpone the Government's proposals to allow the largest sell-off & privatisation of Crown (public) land in our history UNTIL you supply the public with a complete list of all Crown land in NSW.
SIGN THE PETITION
There is a distinction to be made between state ownership and public property.The former may refer to assets operated by a specific organisation of the state used exclusively by their operators or that organisation, such as a research laboratory, while public property refers to assets and resources that are available to the entire public for use, such as a public park, sporting fields, and reserves.

Owing to the size and diversity of the state there is no complete list of crown land available for sale. There are district offices that cover all areas of the state and local knowledge is often required as to the suitability of the land available for what the person requires it for.
Should you have a specific area you wish to purchase in please forward the lot/dp or a very accurate description so the parcel/s are identifiable to us and that will be forwarded to the District Office for the area who will respond to your enquiry.
Kind Regards,

The Gateway Review
Over Rides Community & Councils
STEPS IN THE PROCESS
The gateway process has the following steps:
Planning proposal — the relevant planning authority is responsible for the preparation of a planning proposal, which explains the effect of and justification for the plan. If initiated by the Minister (rather than the local council which is mostly the case) the Minister can appoint the Secretary of the Department of Planning & Environment or a joint regional planning panel to be the relevant planning authority.
Gateway — The Minister (or delegate) determines whether the planning proposal is to proceed. This gateway acts as a checkpoint to ensure that the proposal is justified before further studies are done and resources are allocated to the preparation of a plan. A community consultation process is also determined at this time. Consultations occur with relevant public authorities and, if necessary, the proposal is varied.
Community consultation — the proposal is publicly exhibited (generally low impact proposals for 14 days, others for 28 days). A person making a submission may also request a public hearing be held.
Assessment — The relevant planning authority considers public submissions and the proposal is varied as necessary. Parliamentary Counsel then prepares a draft local environmental plan — the legal instrument.
Decision — With the Minister’s (or delegate’s) approval the plan becomes law and is published on the NSW legislation website.
