Land management

Sustainable land management is important in the Northern and Yorke region. Managing the environment in a way that is sustainable ensures productivity now and into the future. Local staff and visiting technical experts aim to help land managers by providing advice, specialised support, information sharing and assistance across a range of fields.

• Soil management
• Sustainable agriculture
• Bush management Advice and support is available for land managers and the community to conserve and manage native plants and animals in the region. This includes the identification, protection, recovery and threat management for native species and their habitats. Help is also available for the development of landscape scale management plans for priority areas, approval and implementation of Heritage Agreement management plans, native vegetation clearance applications, bush management funding applications and scientific programs.

Land management control policy

Responsible land management is critical for preventing environmental damage and maintaining long term sustainability and productivity. Our Land Management Control Policy provides guidance to landholders, staff and stakeholders of the Board’s approach to exercising its powers under Part 7 of the Landscape South Australia Act 2019. The policy outlines land degradation risk factors within the regional context.

Sustainable land management is underpinned by the region's sustainable soil and water conservation action planning. For more information, please contact us.
