In 2025, Landcare Tasmania has been delivering a series of programs aimed at building local connections, encouraging collaboration and increasing ground activities contributing to catchment-scale climate resilience.
2025 Focus Catchments:
- Lower Coal - Southern Tasmania
- Middle Leven- North West Tasmania
- Lower Meander - Northern Tasmania
Catchment Action Planning Project - mid 2025
The Catchment Action Planning Project will bring together clusters of Landcare groups and community members to look at what has been achieved in the catchment, or sub-catchment, what has become a priority and next steps for getting action on catchment-wide approaches to conservation.
- 17 May - Catchment Action Planning Day - Leven Catchment - Gunns Plains Hall
- 24 May - Catchment Action Planning Day - Meander Catchment - Selbourne Memorial Hall
- 14th June - Catchment Action Planning Day- Coal River Valley Catchment - Richmond Hall
For landholders, Landcare members, and those with an interest in land management in this catchment. To RSVP contact [email protected]
These catchment-scale meetings will be delivered in the 2025 focus catchments. The workshop series will be held for landholders and Landcare networks to prioritise focus areas for future on-ground works in the catchment, using GIS modelling that is under development. We aim to bring together landholders from the whole catchment to identify shared values and threats, facilitating the planning of collaborative activities that will enhance catchment health. The mapping developed from the Farm Dam Enhacement project, along with local knowledge, will help to identify priority locations for action in these catchments.
Consolidated action plans will assist Landcarers and land managers in coordinating their activities and in seeking additional support.
Want to be involved but you're not in one of the current focus catchments? Please still complete the form and let us know what catchment we should target next!
The Catchment Action Planning Project is part of Landcare Tasmania's Landscape Restoration and Community Outreach Programs, funded by the Elsie Cameron Foundation.
Farm Dam Enhancement Project -
In 2025 Landcare Tasmania, in partnership with the TAS Farm Innovation Hub and the ANU’s Sustainable Farm Program, delivered a number of Farm Dam Enhancement (FDE) workshops for the wider community that highlight the production and ecosystem benefits from improved farm dam management.
The workshops held supported landholders and Landcare networks to investigate the production, ecosystem, and drought resilience benefits from improved farm dam management and implementation. 'Train the trainer' workshops and GIS mapping complemented these community events and target extension practitioners who provide Landcare network support that can be extended to other catchments across Tasmania.
Did you miss out? Or want to be involved but you're not in one of the current focus catchments? We are looking at opportunities to expand this project. An understanding of where there is active interest in Farm Dam Enhancement will help to prioritise the next catchment focus area. To help us gauge community interest, or submit your farm dam enhancement project into the Project Bank:

The Farm Dam Enhancement Project is being delivered by Landcare Tasmania with support from the TAS Farm Innovation Hub, through funding from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund.
