Every local council in NSW participates in the management of Crown reserves as an appointed CLM. Together, councils manage more than 6,000 Crown reserves. In many cases, councils also rely on volunteer groups and individuals to provide management support.
NSW Crown land now holds all resources and templates.

Native title and native title manager information
The primary source of information for councils regarding Native title and the role of Native title managers is the DPE – Crown Lands Native Title webpage.
This includes the Native Title Manager workbook, which is the key guidance document for Native Title Managers.
An online Native title manager e-learning resource has also been developed to increase knowledge of native title legislation as it applies to the management of Crown land and to help Crown Land Managers in providing native title advice.
This e-learning resource is a supplementary guidance tool to the approved native title training and the Native Title Manager Workbook. It is not a replacement of the approved native title manager training which all native title managers are required to complete.
The resource is available here https://nativetitlemanager.crownland.nsw.gov.au
