Maritime Commercial Lease PolicyMaritime has adopted a Commercial Lease Policy setting general terms and conditions for commercial leasing on Sydney Harbour and its tributaries, Port Kembla, Newcastle Harbour and Botany Bay. This includes the working harbour, waterfront businesses such as boat repairs, commercial marinas and dry boat stores, and facilities for licensed and amateur clubs. These activities deliver major economic and community benefits for the people of New South Wales. Maritime supports the continued growth of these commercial and recreational maritime facilities, within an appropriate environmental and public benefit framework. This Policy sets broad conditions for Maritime commercial leases. It aims to deliver business certainty and opportunities for renewed investment by the private sector, while ensuring a fair return for the lease of public land. This Policy should be read in conjunction with other leasing and land use policies and procedures released from time to time by Maritime and the NSW Government. The Policy takes effect from 1 January 2008.
