"Carbon farming can generate the income needed to heal and regenerate our outback, but I need a long term rangelands lease to be able to do it." Read more
Together we’ve already achieved a lot for the Outback.
We convinced government to start carbon farming.
We helped save the Schools of the Air.
Now let’s help create this one vital change that will make such a difference for the Outback.
It’s time for Government to stop stalling and get on with the job. Use the form on this page to ask Government to change the outdated Outback laws and create a rangelands Diversification Lease, to help build a brighter future for people and the land.
A host of sustainable enterprises such as tourism, carbon farming and conservation are all restricted under current Outback lease laws, but a Diversification Lease would change all that. It would provide people with greater choice, healthier incomes, and help care for the unique natural landscapes that make WA so special.
Will you get behind these Outback people? Send a message to Government today and help create the change that our Outback needs.
A rangelands Diversification Lease would:
- allow more families to stay on the land in improved economic circumstances
- allow more carbon farming, which brings in new income while also helping regrow bush in areas that have been overgrazed in the past
- allow more Aboriginal businesses to grow and prosper
- encourage Outback stations to diversify into other enterprises such as tourism, and remove the blocks that currently prevent this diversification from happening
- provide a more solid footing for conservation organisations who are working to restore and preserve some of WA’s most fragile natural places
- increase the value of Outback stations and attract investment to the Outback
- create greater regenerative potential for properties that suffer from historic degradation.
