The Upper Murrumbidgee - Helping it Work
An optional half day field trip to Tharwa will be held on Thursday 28 October.
Registration Package is attached.
A workshop for primary producers and land managers in the Upper Murrumbidgee presented by Industry and Investment NSW in association with ACT Land Management and Planning.
Venue: Namadgi National Park Visitor Centre, Naas Road, Tharwa ACT.
The workshop presents information on:
Rural lifestyle landowners occupy peri-urban areas—the non-urban landscape close to urban or regional centres. These landowners do not derive their living directly from their properties as they have chosen these locations essentially for lifestyle purposes. Because the rural lifestyle is increasingly popular, the landowners are key stakeholders in future landscape management.
