a) It is common and long-standing practice to issue management orders under the
Land Adminstration Act 1997
to local governments over Crown land reserved for various purposes, such as "recreation". This facilitates local management and development. Such management orders often include leasing powers, to enable the local government to lease reserved land to local sporting bodies etc, for purposes consistent with the reserves's purpose.
