Easement fees
Compensation is payable for grant of an easement or other land interest which will result in reserved and/or acquired land (NPWS estate) being burdened by that easement or interest.
The base compensation amount is set by a registered valuer. That amount may be multiplied to offset environmental impacts, the benefit of use of public land and the permanent change in land use.
This table sets out the criteria considered by NPWS when setting the fee.
| Multiplier | Applies if one or more criteria are met |
