NPWS Land Acquisitions Limit Pastoral Opportunities in Far West
What happened
NPWS land acquisitions are restricting pastoral opportunities in the Far West region. Adam Atkinson, who has planned to purchase his own pastoral run for a decade, faces difficulty due to the Parks' presence in the local property market. Separately, the Roberts family sold Pulgamurtie at auction, with the NPWS being the final bidder and having first option on a buying agreement.

Why it matters
The NPWS acquisition of properties like Pulgamurtie, which contains significant wetlands and arid landscape, protects cultural heritage but limits land availability for agricultural use. This trend affects the ability of pastoralists to secure land in the region.
