Strengthen our Region with a Tax-Deductible Contribution to Tamworth Regional Landcare Association

Landcare is about more than the environment—it’s about the future of our region.

At Tamworth Regional Landcare Association (TRLA), we work across the landscape—supporting sustainable land management, improving soil health, preserving water resources, and enhancing biodiversity. Whether you're managing a farm, running a business, or part of a local community, the decisions we make today about how we care for our land directly impact the health, productivity, and resilience of our region tomorrow.

Now recognised as a Tax-Deductible Gift Recipient by the Australian Tax Office, TRLA can offer even more value for every donation received. Contributions of $2 or more are tax-deductible—meaning you can invest in the long-term future of our region while also receiving a benefit at tax time.

🐾 NSW Companion Animals Act Review – Have Your Say! 🐾

🐾 NSW Companion Animals Act Review – Have Your Say! 🐾

🚨 Submissions close Sunday, May 4, 2025 🚨

After years of advocacy, the NSW Government is finally reviewing the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998 — and your voice is urgently needed to help protect our native wildlife from the impacts of free-roaming pet cats.

🦘 Why it matters:
This outdated law currently prevents local Councils from setting and enforcing cat containment policies, leaving cats to roam, kill native wildlife, and spread diseases like toxoplasmosis. It’s time for a law that reflects modern expectations of responsible pet ownership.

💥 Make a difference – three easy options:
Option A (quick & easy):
Use the Invasive Species Council’s free writing kit – they’ll send you a ready-to-go email template.
🔗 Register here

✍️ Option B (most impactful):
Write a short email in your own words explaining why you believe cat containment is essential.
📧 Email: ca.review@olg.nsw.gov.au
📝 Subject: Companion Animals Act Review

💡 Ask for:

  • Statewide 24/7 cat containment laws
  • Mandatory desexing by 4 months
  • $9 million+ in support for Councils and education campaigns


📄 Option C (official form):
Review the discussion paper and submit feedback via the online submission form on the Office of Local Government site.
🔗 Submit here

🌿 Every submission helps push for change! Let’s keep native wildlife safe, support responsible pet ownership, and empower Councils to act. Please share this widely. 🐨🦉🐾
