Purpose of LMAs
A land management agreement (LMA) sets out rules relating to the development, management, preservation or conservation of land.
The owner of a property can enter into an LMA with the Minister for Planning, another designated Minister or a council.
An agreement may be set up to:
- help conserve vegetation or the preservation of walking trails or other things of public interest
- specify the types of development appropriate for the land
- vary or set aside liability used in participation with the Minister. This provision was placed in the Act to assist the state government in freeholding of Crown shack sites.
A land management agreement becomes binding once it is noted on the certificate of title. It is binding on the current owner of the land, whether or not the LMA was made with that owner initially.
