SURVEILLANCE cameras and tip-offs from the public will be used to stop people using travelling stock reserves (TSRs) illegally in the central west.
“We are closely watching a number of TSRs in our region and will be taking legal action against anyone found dumping rubbish, removing firewood and dirt bike riding,” said Central West LLS team leader Peta Holcombe.
“TSRs have social, grazing, ecological and cultural heritage value and can be easily damaged through these activities.”
Ms Holcombe said the LLS is using surveillance cameras, staff inspections and public reports to identify and fine offenders.
People using TSRs legally for such things as bushwalking and birdwatching are also being encouraged to report any suspicious activity.
“We encourage everyone to report suspicious behaviour on TSRs and to record as much detail as possible," said Ms Holcombe.
“Information such as registration numbers, descriptions, locations and dates will help us fine those responsible.
Fines of up to $5500 can apply to people caught carrying out illegal activity in TSRs under the Local Land Services Act 2013.
People can report any illegal activity to Local Land Services on 1300 795 299 or their local police station.
