I acknowledge the conflict between allowing public access in a lessee's land and enabling that lessee to have the right to farm that land in the way that they want and run their businesses as needed. Following feedback that the proposed public access provision could impact on a leaseholder's property rights, an amendment to this provision was included in the Government Supplementary Order Paper 129 tabled in the House in February 2022. The amendment provision will require the Commissioner of Crown Lands to consider public access when determining whether to consent to the sale or subleasing of a Crown pastoral lease. If the commissioner determines that access requests have been unreasonably refused in the past, the lease transfer may be made subject to the condition that the current and incoming lessees must enter a negotiation process with the commissioner with the intention that access requests will not be unreasonably refused after the first transfer. This provision is intended to strike a balance between promoting reasonable access on to Crown pastoral lease land while respecting leaseholders' property rights.
