Removing Structures

Maritime has clarified its policies regarding both the removal of structures from and existing use rights attached to its land.

Subject to the points below, existing use rights will be retained for all current
domestic waterfront structures unless specifically relinquished by Maritime.

In general, structures will only be required to be removed if:

They do not have development approval;
They are in such disrepair as to pose a danger and the lessee has
refused reasonable requests to remedy the problem;
The lease is to be terminated after consistent breaches of lease terms (eg
persistent non-payment of rent or failing to maintain the structures);
An incoming purchaser declines to lease the current structures; or
Removal is necessary to achieve a long-term strategic objective of the
NSW Government.
