WA Government drafting new rangelands legislation to increase use of 87 per cent of state

Posted by Suzannah Macbeth on 21 January 2016

The West Australian Government will create new legislation to promote a range of industries and conservation across the majority of the state.

The new legislation will allow for a new type of lease available over WA's rangelands, which cover 87 per cent of the state, according to the Minister for Regional Development and Lands, Terry Redman.
