Crown land is an area that belongs to the monarch and can be passed with the monarchy. In Canada and Australia, it is the official term used to refer to public land. In Tasmania, the Crown Land is managed by the Tasmanian State Government (technically on behalf of the Crown, and the people of Tasmania). Crown Land can refer to public reserves, school land, hospital land, police stations, and road verges. Different governmental agencies manage different types of land. Parks & Wildlife Services manage wildlife parks (as sanctioned under the Nature Conservation Act of 2002), Forestry Tasmania manage timber production zones, and government departments manage Crown public utility properties. Like many public lands, Crown Land can be sold through public auction or leased to individuals or organizations.
