See all event locations

NSW Farmers invites members and non‑members to attend a series of Information Sessions on Native Vegetation Maps, to be held in Forbes, Griffith, Wagga Wagga, Cobar, Nyngan, Dubbo, Cowra, Young, Yass, Cooma and Bega.

About the Sessions

Uncertainty around land management regulations has prompted NSW Farmers to invite Local Land Services and The NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water - Mapping Team to assist landholders to understand the rules and use of the Native Vegetation Regulatory (NVR) Map.

• DCCEEW will outline how the map works, what the different map categories mean, and have staff available for one-on-one discussions to help you understand the mapping on your property.

• LLS will share insights into the most frequent issues they are seeing locally, explain how these fit within the relevant land management codes, and provide guidance on how best to approach these matters.

Guest Speakers

• NSW Farmers

• Local Land Services (LLS)

• The NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW)
