Many farmers will have destocked or agisted completely under the current drought conditions and may be unsure about whether to lodge a return or not.
Local Land Services acting statewide Chair, Susan Madden, said the organisation is working closely with the state’s drought-affected farmers and conscious the return comes at a tough time for many.
“We understand many farmers are managing challenging drought conditions and have sold or agisted their stock off-property,” Ms Madden said.
“Filling in an annual land and stock return may be confronting in these conditions.
“However, we still ask for your support. This information helps us go directly to the people whose land or stock may be most affected in an emergency.”
All landholders with rateable land or a property identification code need to lodge a return by August 31. Landholders can complete online at www.lls.nsw.gov.au.
