Does the Crown Road Purchase Fee Schedule cover applications for the closure of Crown roads that are not held under Enclosure Permit (EP)?
• Yes. The lower fees can be applied to applications for closure of any Crown public road. • The lower fees will also apply where any part of the road applied for is a Crown public road, even if some of the application, also covers Council public road. • Applications for closure of Council public roads which do not include Crown public roads are subject to the same fees that applied to applications prior to the introduction of the reforms. • An application for closure of roads that includes any part of Council roads can only made by Council. If upon closure the land will vest in the Crown (which is the case where there has never been any construction on the road) for disposal to the adjoining landholders, the lower fee structure will also apply.
