Land underpins our economy, and the way it is used has a big influence on freshwater quality. We are committed to working closely with businesses, farmers and other landowners, to ensure sustainable land use.

We work with you to care for your land and ensure good environmental practice.

We offer obligation-free advice about farm environment planning, restoration works and subsidies. 

We can provide a restoration plan suited to your properties wetlands and streams, and can organise works management and plant supply. 

We can advise you on ways to reduce the amount of sediment and other contaminants reaching our coasts and harbours by:

  • Restoring waterways and other riparian environments
  • Planting erodible land
  • Protecting bush remnants
