Whether your property is 1ha or 2000ha, as a rural landholder you have many responsibilities.

The way you manage your land can have a major impact on the people, properties and rural environment beyond your fenceline.

Planning for your property can start even before you purchase it.

Make sure you research your potential property and the activities you would like to carry out, to ensure you select the most suitable property to meet your needs and expectations.

Once you have purchased the property there are many seasonal activities (e.g. controlling weeds, maintaining fences, preparing for bushfires, etc.) that must be completed to ensure you meet your land management responsibilities.
