Expression of Interest (Grazing of Livestock Within Nelson’s Reserves)

The Council allows individuals to graze livestock on certain areas of public land within Nelson, provided they obtain permission and enter into a formal lease agreement. This process ensures that grazing activities are managed responsibly and do not negatively impact public spaces or the community.

Applications for grazing are assessed based on several key criteria, including the suitability of the proposed location, the adequacy of fencing to securely contain the animals, the applicant’s experience and ability to manage livestock, and the potential for the animals to cause a nuisance to the public. These measures help balance the benefits of grazing with the need to protect public land and ensure community safety.
