Our Boards
Local Land Services is governed by the Local Land Services Board, comprised of a Ministerially-appointed chair and the chairs of 11 local boards.
Each region has a local board that is responsible for communications and engagement with local communities. In line with local and state priorities, these boards provide oversight of local strategic planning, performance monitoring and local policy.
Our local boards develop and monitor the performance of their Local Strategic Plan, promote our services, encourage partnerships and building strong relationships with investors. They also represent their community, communicating the priorities and concerns of customers to local boards.

Our local Boards
Local Land Services is made up of 11 regions, each with its own board of local community representatives.
Board members work closely with landholders and local communities to identify and deliver services relevant to local needs. They are a made up of a mix of Ministerially-appointed and elected board members who bring a wealth of skills, experience and commitment to our organisation.
Each local board consists of a chair and 7 members; 3 members elected by regional ratepayers and 4 members appointed by the Minister for Agriculture and Western New South Wales, with the exception of Western, which has 5 Ministerially-appointed members and four elected members.
Our local boards have four main focus areas:
- strategy

- advocacy
- advice.
They focus on the strategic direction of our organisation, promoting our services, encouraging partnerships and building strong relationships with investors. They also represent their community, communicating the priorities and concerns of customers to local boards. The Local Board Chair is responsible for leading the local board.

LLS Board review
An independent review of the Local Land Services Boards and Committees was undertaken in 2023 by Renata Brooks. The review was requested by Minister for Agriculture Tara Moriarty.
The focus of the review was on the nature of the LLS board and committee structures and how they operate. It was not a performance review or a review of the Local Land Services Act 2013.
