Legally as some of us are finding out in Auckland and Hamilton, if the public can walk in or on the area without crossing a chain, gate etc, its considered public access and can be called a public road in the instance of a carpark.
putting a chain up can help... seriously. Then all you're liable for, assuming there has been no circle burnouts leaving black marks over the deck and road paint or cages chunking the concrete in a fall, is a tresspass notice... so you just move on.
I have a few places in Auckland that I rotate between ever few days.
Also Sue at MotoTT have offered their trackdays at Taupo for use by anyone wanting to try stunting or practice it, using the dragway next to the track. We do it ON the track and we'll be black flagged. But the dragway is an option thats fine.
Someone else associated with MotoTT is also looking at the option of a place in Rotorua. Its not ideal as its a rough road surface and a narrow street width but its better than nothing perhaps. Suggestions have been put forward for hiring a 40ft container and getting and storing a cheap genie and compressor plus tyre changing kit and a pile of hand me down rayon tyres for certain tricks to be practiced at this location.
The Slipway in Wellington is available for use, just be aware of the wire everywhare from the drift cars bagging tyres. Its actually a damn good surface and size if your bikes geared down. Check out RiotSquadFilms on youtube for a sample of it and a gay quick wheelie from me across it.
Another Auckland legal option is Meremere.
