Do you want to use conservation land for business or private activity?

If so, you need to apply for a concession from DOC. A concession is a permit, licence or lease for conservation land that gives permission for:

• Commercial activities eg set up and run a retail or tourism business
• Organised non-profit activities eg run a sports event
• Occupation of land eg grazing an area, right of way access and building of structures

The information below explains why concessions are necessary and how to apply for one.
