Lodge my Annual Land and Stock Return
Annual Land and Stock Returns (ALSR) are essentially a 'farm census' and provide us with important information on land use and livestock numbers across the state.
Lodge your Annual Land and Stock Return
The information you provide is invaluable and allows us to:
- quickly and accurately respond to emergency or biosecurity events
- protect our ‘clean and green’ reputation against pests and diseases
- build a statewide picture of agricultural land use and livestock numbers
- monitor flocks and herds for emergency animal diseases
- help keep domestic and international markets open.
Even if you have no stock, it is important to lodge your annual return. Lodging your annual return is also a legal requirement and may help you avoid additional levies being applied to your next Local Land Services rates.
The 2024 Annual Land and Stock Returns portal opens 30 June. You have until 31 August 2024 to submit your return, either via our secure online portal or manually using the paper form and reply-paid envelope.
The ALSR portal will open 30 June 2024.
