Flood Damage and Creek Crossings – Do You Need a Licence to Repair?

After recent flooding across the region, many landholders are facing damaged or washed-out creek crossings—and the question we’re hearing most is: “Do I need a licence to repair it?”

Our members often say that when you become part of Landcare, you’re not just joining a group, you’re becoming part of a family. The concept is so compatible with Australian culture it’s hard not to get involved! By becoming a TRLA member, you’ll be supporting our work, learning new skills, becoming part of the solution, and helping to make a difference for the future.
