Nominations Open for Local Land Services Boards

Local Land Services works with land managers to help secure the future of agriculture and the environment for NSW communities, with local boards helping deliver meaningful services. If you are passionate about regional and rural issues in New South Wales, you can nominate yourself for the Local Land Services board election until the 28th of February. Local Land Services rate payers can nominate online, at Local Land Services offices and those wishing to lodge by ‘snail mail’ will need to raise their hand earlier to ensure their nomination is received in time. This current round of nominations follows the recent recruitment process for 29 Ministerially appointed members.

Local Land Services is aiming for diverse and dynamic boards that reflect modern agriculture in NSW. As such, nominations from women, Aboriginal people, younger people and other under-represented groups are strongly encouraged. Across all 11 Local Land Services regions, ratepayers will elect 34 board members to work with Minister-appointed board members and the chair to ensure local priorities drive the effective and efficient delivery of services to farmers and land managers across the state.
