“I would like to thank those who have already taken the time to share their views and encourage others to do the same, as your feedback is key to getting the boundaries right.
“These boundaries are an important building block for the establishment of the new model and all feedback is being carefully considered.
“The Panel will meet again on the 17 December to review all feedback and make a decision on the regional boundaries for Local Land Services.”

Dr Keniry said the Stakeholder Reference Panel, an independent body guiding the development of Local Land Services, will continue to work with community and stakeholder groups to identify how the new organisation can best deliver valuable services to the people of rural and regional NSW.
“These draft regional boundaries are the first of several proposals the Stakeholder Reference Panel will make on various key features of the new Local Land Services, including governance, core functions and the rating framework.
“In February 2013, the Stakeholder Reference Panel will run broad-scale community consultation on these proposals. Dates will be published on the Have Your Say website later this month.

Local Land Services will be an integrated service delivery model that replaces Catchment Management Authorities, Livestock Health & Pest Authorities and incorporates agricultural advisory services currently provided by Agriculture NSW.
This new approach to delivering services across rural and regional NSW links natural resource management to productive primary industries and will modernise service delivery at a local level through greater interaction and enhanced accountability to customers.
The proposed regional boundaries for Local Land Services will remain open for public comment until Friday 7 December.
