Absentee landholders - what are the issues in your region?

Printer-friendly version
We are interested in finding out more about what land management issues your region experiences as a result of absentee landholders.

Greater Sydney Local Land Services has received $72,000 from the Environmental Trust Environmental Education Program in a program that could benefit all regions as it targets absentee landholders across NSW.

The funds are for an education project called "Sustainable land management for Sydney-based rural landholders". It involves a series of workshops in Sydney on land management issues, including water, vegetation and biodiversity for absentee landholders.

The funding will also allow the development of a smartphone app. The app will provide spatially-relevant information about local resources, support agencies, Landcare networks and NRM advice about rural living.

Following on from a pilot series of workshops for this audience, Greater Sydney LLS is in a unique position to run this statewide engagement program to connect Sydney-based landholders with local land management agencies and resources. Staff are looking forward to working with the other regions to achieve good outcomes for both Local Land Services and the environment across the whole of NSW.

As the project will have benefits throughout NSW, we are keen to hear from all regions. We would appreciate if you could please spend a few minutes completing an online Landholder Land Management Issues Survey. Your feedback will be used to help shape the content of workshops and smartphone app for the project.
