Report to Ranger Services by contacting Council.

Roadside Grazing

Roadside grazing permits:

  • Only apply to council roads. To graze a TSR (travelling stock reserve) you must apply to the Local Land Services (LLS) directly
  • Are not permitted on state or national highways or within ½ km of a state or national highway
  • Are for daylight hours. All stock must be securely yarded/penned from dusk to dawn
  • Apply to the land directly adjacent to the applicant’s property unless written consent is obtained from neighbouring properties
  • The area must not be overstocked or overgrazed, and livestock must be kept off roads
  • Can be revoked if there is non-compliance with any condition on the permit.

To apply for a roadside grazing permit, you will need:

  • To complete an application for a Roadside Grazing Approval form – available at Council and the LLS
  • Have a Certificate of Currency demonstrating you have a $20 million Public Liability insurance
  • Provide a completed Animal Health Statement
  • Written authority/consent from property owners (if roadside is not adjoining stock owners property)
  • A ‘mud map’ showing the location of the grazing.
