A number of alternative approaches and agreement models can achieve the same goal, such as rent, leasehold, freehold, conditional freehold, or transient rights, including rights that vary according to seasons, for example. In many cases, a hybrid approach can be recognized whereby land disputes are first addressed through customary means, and - in the absence of a suitable resolution - they can then enter into the statutory process. They may complement a specific land dispute mediation process or they may represent a more appropriate tool. Public consultations can be employed to provide inputs in the development of a new land policy, or used to initiate a review process of a particularly contentious policy issue.
