Local Landcare Coordinators

Purpose and Objectives of a Local Landcare Coordinator

The core role of the Local Coordinator is that of a coordinator and enabler of Community Landcare and Landcare organisations.

The Local Coordinator is charged with empowering Landcare to achieve their own goals in alignment with those of the Program. The Local Coordinator will assist their Landcare networks and groups to directly interact with Landcare and agencies at the local district and network scale. They will focus on supporting Landcare organisations to enable participation in Landcare by individuals and sub-groups. Their outcomes will be measured directly against key accountabilities.

Local Coordinators work with their specific host organisations and the other Landcare groups / organisations across their regions to increase the capacity of these groups to deliver against the outcomes of the Program.

Local Coordinators collaborate with a range of Landcare support mechanisms including other Local Coordinators, Regional Coordinators, Landcare Committees and Local Land Services. The Local Coordinator is not a Project Officer, solely responsible for the delivery of other grant funded projects. However, should be a resource for Landcare to effectively partner, attract project funding and to empower successful delivery.

Greater Sydney Landcare (GSL) has two part-time Local Landcare Coordinators listed below, who have been employed since March 2022. In the Greater Sydney region, there are a total of seven Local Landcare Coordinators.

A big thanks to the @hawkesburynepeanlandcare and the local Penrith community for coming out to plant 200 trees on a property in Berkshire Park in March.

It was such a fun and rewarding day and the property owner was incredibly grateful for the help getting the new plants in the ground. These new plantings will help connect remnant vegetation.

If you have the space for at least 100 native trees on your property, you can register your site on our website here: greatersydneylandcare.org/register-your-site-for-trees

500 native plants have now been added to the Russell Walker Reserve in North Rocks thanks to @nbn_australia and @landcareaustralia !

The planting site was along a mown parkland area adjacent to the important riparian edge of the Darling Mills creek. These plants will help improve the riparian corridor and increase the native plant diversity of the area.

As well as creating new native plant habitat, the team rolled up their sleeves and got stuck into some weed removal to help restore existing habitat.

Thank you, to @carnarvongolfclub , for hosting another planting day at their property.

Not only did the amazing team from Spirax Sarco manage to add 200 native trees to the grow the golf course canopy, but they also looked after and maintained the plants that they had put in the ground last year.

As a reward they were treated to some of the golf club volunteers' delicious homemade lunch and treats. Ian Bailey from Birding NSW was also able to share with the group his bird survey results of the golf course and how important golf courses are for urban wildlife.

Spirax Sarco had funded some floating islands for some of the golf club dams and was happy to see them in person, offering safe habitats for water birds and fish.
