Funding for eligible landholders in priority areas of the Local Land Service (LLS) Hunter region

Overview

Funding is aimed at assisting with projects that revegetate riverbanks, fence riverbanks, control stock access to riparian areas, provide offstream stock water and control riparian weeds.

The program seeks to support rural landholders along priority rivers in the Hunter LLS Region to implement improved riparian management practices that:

• improve the extent and condition of riverbank vegetation and improve water quality in the short to medium term
• improve long term river resilience to flooding and drought impacts in the long term.
