It's time to count your stock
Local Land ServicesThe value of Australian agricultural commodities is tipped to break another record this financial year. An essential part of maintaining strength in the agriculture sector is the continuation of market access and landholders across NSW play a very important role in this.

More than 25,000 land managers across the North Coast region who pay Local Land Services rates or have a Property Identification Code will soon receive their Annual Land and Stock Returns in a bid to build a statewide picture of agricultural use and livestock numbers. Returns are due to be lodged by 31 August.

Ready for Johne's changes?
Following a national review of the management of Bovine Johne’s Disease there have been changes in how the disease will be managed nationally. These include a move to a less regulated program with a focus on a risk based approach at farm level. North Coast LLS has been running a series of information sessions to help livestock producers make the transition. Animal Health Australia has a number of tools to help or contact your local District Veterinarian.
