A plain English explanation of this ACT planning and property term.
Public unleased land (unleased Territory land) means land owned by the ACT Government that is not subject to a Crown lease. Such land is managed by the ACT Government through the relevant land custodian and is not held under a lease by a private individual or entity.
Territory land that is not held under a private Crown lease and is managed for public purposes. Roads, reserves, paths and other government-managed areas may be public unleased land. A private development cannot treat this land as part of the block merely because it appears open or is maintained by the adjoining owner.
