Local Land Services

What Local Land Services does

Local Land Services (LLS) is an NSW Government statutory authority established in 2014 to deliver on-ground support and advisory services to farmers and land managers across rural and regional New South Wales, Australia. The agency operates across 11 diverse regions through a network of over 80 local offices, employing 568 staff who provide localized advice, training, and community engagement across nine interconnected service lines: Agriculture, Biosecurity, Livestock, Farm emergency management, Farm forestry, Land management, Natural capital, Natural resource management, and Travelling stock reserves. LLS sits within the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development portfolio and is overseen by the Minister for Agriculture, Minister for Regional NSW and Minister for Western NSW.

LLS does not operate as a commercial technology or product business. Its core offering is in-person advisory, training, biosecurity compliance support, and emergency preparedness coordination delivered via its regional office network, phone support (1300 795 299), regional field events, newsletters, and digital self-serve resources such as an online resource library, payments and permits portal, and contact forms. The agency does not develop proprietary software platforms; its service delivery relies on staff expertise, regulatory frameworks including the Land Management Framework, and physical presence across NSW's regional geographies. There is no disclosed app, API, or SDK.

The agency is entirely publicly funded through NSW Government appropriations and operates as a non-commercial public service entity with no private shareholders, venture capital investors, or disclosed revenue figures. Users are NSW farmers and landholders accessing services at no direct charge, with engagement facilitated through free public access, community events, and direct outreach rather than commercial pricing. Strategic positioning rests on LLS's statutory role as NSW's designated on-ground agency for biosecurity, agricultural productivity, and land management — a position that creates a regulatory monopoly within its jurisdiction.
