Welcome to Landcare Broken Hill
Landcare is a national network of thousands of locally-based community groups who care for our country by creating sustainable land management. This unique partnership between communities, government and organisations is achieving great things. Through Australia’s people and communities, the Landcare movement is making a big difference in caring for our country.
Established in 2009, Landcare Broken Hill had an initial primary purpose to assist in the care and maintenance of the Regeneration Reserve which surrounds the perimeter of the City of Broken Hill. It is an affiliated member of both Western Landcare NSW Inc and Landcare NSW Inc. Since April 2019, Landcare Broken Hill has been effectively relaunched with a far wider, all encompassing approach aimed at achieving vastly improved integrated environmental management of all aspects and areas of the City and its surrounds. The relaunch came with a hallmark project - Greening the Hill Mk. 2 - which is a community-wide initiative, successful because of its network of partnerships established across all sectors of the Broken Hill community and beyond. Its aim is to renew and re-green the gardens and City for the benefit of all.
Landcare Broken Hill acknowledges the Wilyakali people of the Barkindji Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live and work. We recognise and value their continuing connection to Country and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Job Openings
Current opening:
Local Landcare Coordinator - Landcare Broken Hill
Be part of something extraordinary in the heart of the outback.
About the Opportunity
This is not a standard coordinator role. It’s a chance to help shape one of regional Australia’s most ambitious community-led environmental transformation projects - right here in the outback city of Broken Hill.
At the centre of this work is the emerging Imperial Lakes Nature Park - a 145 acre former reservoir being transformed into a living, breathing landscape for conservation, education, culture, recreation, and innovation.
From bush trails and biodiversity sanctuaries to a native plant nursery, eco-education spaces, and a future sustainability expo hub, this is a project built by the community, for the community - with national significance and real on-the-ground impact.
