New Grazing Rules Implemented in Riverina and Murray Regions
What happened
New grazing rules were implemented in the Riverina and Murray regions on October 19, 2026, to support biodiversity protection. Managing travelling stock routes requires balancing the need to support grazing with the requirement to protect biodiversity. A six-year reseeding project that began in 2012 required changes to how these routes were grazed.
