Time is running out for NSW farmers to report their livestock numbers and agricultural land use before the annual land and stock return portal closes on 31 August.
Local Land Services Executive Director Regional Delivery Rob Kelly said around 170,000 land managers were taking part in the 2024 farm census.
“This is the last chance farmers have to lodge returns before the reporting portal closes,” Mr Kelly said.
“Understanding what landholders use their land for also plays a role influencing the fit-for-purpose services we deliver to our NSW farming customers.”
Completing returns is an easy process, with two options available, you can submit returns online via www.lls.nsw.gov.au/aslr or return the paper form via mail or to a Local Land Services office.
Mr Kelly said it was important all landholders completed their annual land and stock return even if they carried no livestock.
“The Animal Health and Meat Industry Levy is automatically applied to their next rates notice if they fail to complete their return.”
