Annual Land and Stock Return is due now

Local Land Services is reminding all livestock owners to submit their Annual Land and Stock Return before the online portal closes on 31 August 2023.

The NSW government relies on this data when emergencies strike, to help us support livestock when foods or bushfres occur.

Local Land Services Director Emergency Management Andrew Mulligan said it was crucial we knew where stock was kept in the event of a biosecurity outbreak to help protect our agricultural industries.

“With the current risk of foot-and-mouth disease and lumpy skin disease, completing your return has never been more important,”

Mr Mulligan said.

“Completing your Annual Land and Stock Return is an important part of meeting your biosecurity responsibilities and paints a statewide picture of land use and livestock numbers.

“It also helps us with planning and resourcing so that we can deliver our services where they are needed most.”
