Domain Leasehold Land

New Plymouth District Council manages the holiday cottage leasehold sites located on reserve land at Ōnaero, Urenui and Tongaporutu.

The lease

The lease is a ground lease which means that NPDC (the lessor) gives the right to use and occupy the land to the holiday cottage owner (the lessee) in return for the payment of rent by the lessee.  Any improvements on the land form part of the leasehold interest and are owned by the lessee.
