Regional Landholder and Aboriginal Community Survey
Every three years, we coordinate separate surveys with landholders and Aboriginal community members within the Western Local Land Services region.
The surveys are designed to assist our local Board and staff with identifying opportunities and trends, with the information to help plan activities and priorities for the years ahead. They surveys have been run previously in 2014, 2017 and 2020. We are now calling for input into our 2024 surveys.

Please note — the survey is only for landholders in the Western Local Land Services region who are on a property of 10 or more hectares. Surveys take approximately 60 minutes to complete, with the results pooled so participants cannot be identified.
Interesting findings from the 2020 Regional Landholder Survey include:
- 15,000 hectares — average property size
- 340 km — average distance to the closes market for farm products
- 88% — landholders experienced issues with pest animals
