| Richard Bullock from the Agricultural Land Commission discusses the mandate of the Commission |
The Agricultural Land Reserve was a common and much discussed theme throughout the morning’s presentations. Richard Bullock from the Agricultural Land Reserve Commission spoke about their main issue of boundary review. As maps become digitised and as aerial photography takes the place of old over-used and somewhat inaccurate paper maps, it is hoped more enforcement and regulation for areas of agricultural value will be possible. Illegal dumping and abuse of agricultural reserve lands are just two of the many reasons why clear and enforceable boundaries are important.
