The state’s 170,000 farmers are being encouraged to report their livestock numbers and land use information to keep NSW safe, and help the state respond to emergencies such as bushfires and biosecurity outbreaks.
The 2024 Annual Land and Stock Return builds a statewide picture of agricultural land use and livestock across NSW and is due by August 31.
The returns also help to protect the state’s ‘clean and green’ reputation and environment against pests and diseases; monitor flocks and herds for emergency animal diseases; and keep domestic and international markets open.
Landholders without stock still needed to complete their returns to avoid unnecessary fees.
Submit returns online via www.lls.nsw.gov.au/aslr or via the paper form, which can be returned via mail or to your nearest Local Land Services office.
