Water Symposium - POSTPONED

-
Mercure Tamworth
This event has been postponed until February 25, 2025.

The Water Symposium for the Upper Namoi Valley is a community-centered event aimed at gathering the insights and experiences of our local community and landholders. Recognising the vital role they play in our region's sustainability, the symposium seeks to address the challenges and opportunities related to water management in our region. With changing rainfall, temperature, and agricultural practices, it’s crucial to hear from those most impacted. By fostering dialogue and sharing diverse perspectives, we aim to develop collective strategies for sustainable water management, landscape rehydration, and resilience against environmental pressures. This collaborative approach ensures that the voices of our community are at the forefront of shaping a sustainable future for the Upper Namoi Valley.

Program to come soon.

Have Your Say on Native Vegetation Management in NSW

The NSW Government is proposing changes to the Land Management (Native Vegetation) Code 2018, and now’s your chance to have input.

The Code plays a key role in supporting landholders to manage their land productively, while also balancing biodiversity conservation across private rural land in NSW. The proposed amendments aim to strengthen environmental protections and deliver on commitments made under the NSW Plan for Nature.

🗣 Community input is vital. A Discussion Paper has been released to guide your feedback, and all members of the public are invited to make a submission.

📅 Submissions close: Friday 4 July 2025

Campfire Gathering

Campfire Gathering

The Campfire Gathering at Boonalla Aboriginal Area on Gamilaroi Country was a truly meaningful day of connection, learning, and reflection. Coordinators from across the northwest came together in a culturally safe and welcoming space to build relationships, share stories, and strengthen partnerships with the Aboriginal community.

The day began with a moving Acknowledgement of Country, followed by powerful storytelling that invited everyone to reflect on their own connection to place. Through open and respectful conversations, we explored our experiences in Landcare and the importance of Aboriginal partnerships in our shared work caring for Country.

Lunch provided the perfect opportunity to relax, share a yarn, and deepen our connections. In the afternoon, Landcare staff engaged in a robust and honest discussion about what Aboriginal partnerships mean in practice, before ending the day with a quiet reflection and personal commitment to Country.
