Hi Jeanette,
You can quote sec 574 regarding time for appeal on whether they are subject to (a)rates or (b) charges, is limited to 30 days after the service of the rates notice.
The section specifically mentions a holder of a licence or permit for land under the Crown Land Management Act 2016, so you may have some success using this. I would check if this provision applies to the land in question, considering the crown lands Act was enacted in 2016, to see if the Crown Land Act 2016 superseded whatever Act it was previously leased under.
Kind regards,
Matthew.
