Livestock Health and Pest Authorities Review

Review recommendations bad news for TSRs

A recent government review has recommended taking away the NSW Travelling Stock Routes and Reserves (TSRs) from their current managers, the Livestock Health and Pest Authorities, and devolving them immediately to the Lands Division of the Department of Primary Industries. NPA believes this recommendation is poorly thought out, driven by ‘cost cutting’ measures and seriously threatens our irreplaceable TSR network.

We urgently need to tell the NSW Government that the TSR network is far too important to be put at risk by a hasty move to cut costs, which doesn’t provide any framework for protecting the remarkable values of TSRs.

If you have the time, please write a response to this review by May 23, 2012.
