From Wikipedia, the Moon Treaty looks like it effectively forbids all but the most cursory private activities in space, including mining, private
"land" ownership and terraforming. It's not currently significant, because no spacefaring country has signed it, but Australia has.
The outer space treaty makes governments responsible for "non-governmental" activities in space - IMHO, because it dates from the days when no real
private space activity was plausible, and "it's not the government" would be a smokeskreen. It has been signed by space powers.
They'd be impossible to enforce in fenspace, but that's never stoped a government from trying to before.
