Land cultivation

• Land disturbance caused by repeated cultivation and erosion depletes the land's productive capacity.
• Discharge of sediment also causes increased flooding, reduces the viability of aquatic life, and adversely affects the quality of our recreational and potable water supply.
• The Air Land and Water Plan promotes the use of appropriate cultivation and sustainable land management practices to avoid or minimise accelerated erosion. The Plan proposes to make land cultivation a Permitted Activity, subject to rules limiting slope and compliance with good practice.
