Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Landcare NSW Full time
About Us

Landcare NSW is the representative body of the Landcare movement in NSW, serving as the voice of community Landcare. Our Council represents around 60,000 Landcarers and 3000 groups, meeting three to four times a year. The organisation is overseen by an eight-member executive and a small team of part-time staff. Our structure enables the building of skills, capacity, strength, and connections at every level, from individual groups to district networks, to regional associations, to the state peak body, and right through to the National Landcare Network.

We acknowledge and pay respect to Aboriginal People and Torres Strait Islander People, who are the original owners of the land, seas, and water. We recognize their continuing connection to the land and their deep knowledge of the natural environment.

Our History

In 2007, a group of volunteers recognized a need for a unified voice to represent the State's dedicated community Landcarers, leading to the establishment of Landcare NSW. After months of consultation and planning, an inaugural meeting was held in Sydney, followed by the first Muster in Tamworth in October 2007. Since then, every two years, Landcarers from across the state gather at musters to harness ideas and discuss issues.

Our Mission

Our mission is to protect, repair, regenerate, and change practice. We also learn, share, and connect. Landcarers work across farmland, bushland, parkland, beaches, national parks, rivers, dunes, creeks, Crown land, public land, private land, forests, and travelling stock routes. We are a grassroots movement organized into groups and organizations, some purely voluntary with half a dozen members, while others are substantial organizations that employ paid staff and have significant budgets.

Collective action is at the heart of our success: Landcare groups organize projects, support volunteers, seek funding, and develop partnerships. We have transformed the landscape and are at the forefront of dealing with environmental, agricultural, and social challenges facing Australia.

Our Values

We are open, inclusive, and welcoming, regardless of age, gender, and cultural background. Our activities include:

  • Bush regeneration and weed control
  • Revegetation
  • Repairing eroding gullies and stabilizing riverbanks
  • Collecting litter
  • Creating and repairing walking tracks
  • Protecting threatened species
  • Stabilizing sand dunes
  • Working with councils on installing litter traps

We also participate in workshops, field days, site tours, and collaborative learning.

About the Role

The Landcare Capacity Building Officer will work with Landcare member groups and the Regional and Local Landcare Coordinators to enhance and build the capacity of Landcare Member organizations to meet their strategic targets, thereby lifting the overall performance and value provided by Landcare in NSW.
