Council's Land Management Rebate is granted to ratepayers occupying properties greater than four hectares, where those ratepayers are effectively contributing to the wellbeing of the land and water resources. The program also allows for landholder to nominate to receive information on native vegetation, weeds, landcare or other environmental issues - this results in Council sending out over 500 individualised information packs to landholders. This document is a brochure for the community, explaining the program.
