New Land Services Department

The NSW Government is proposing a new Local Land Services Department.
From January 2014, Local Land Services will deliver functions currently provided by Catchment Management Authorities and Livestock Health & Pest Authorities and agriculture advisory services of Agriculture NSW, part of the Department of Primary Industries.

The new Local Land Services will be operational in January 2014. 
Landowners will still be able to access existing services from DPI, LHPAs and CMAs in the interim.
For more information click Local Land Services link.

Riverwatch's Response

Riverwatch is very concerned about the loss of local Government support from the Southern Rivers Catchment Management Authority with the loss of 50% of staff positons and reduction in funding levels.
