Tenure Review
Many submitters provide both positive and more critical comments in relation to tenure reviews. Positive comments include:
- the tenure review process is a "template for extending public access onto private property through mutual agreement";
- provision of public accessways through tenure review;
- Crown leasehold land could be submitted for tenure review before approval is given to overseas purchasers; and
- public access provided for in high country tenure review is often for long and difficult tracks, valued by the tramping community.
Some submitters indicate their concerns about tenure review. Namely that:
- the process is "creating islands of public land surrounded by private land";
- tenure review and subdivision "mean that public land is under threat";
- there should be compensation to landowners for access made available through tenure review; and
- that it is not achieving its expected outcomes of the provision of public access to land.
