Are you a smallholder in Tasmania’s Coal Valley or surrounding regions looking to make the most of your land? Applications are now open for NRM South’s 2026 Property Management Planning (PMP) Program — a practical, hands-on workshop series designed to help small property owners plan for a sustainable future.
Running between late January and early May 2026, this six-part weekend workshop series will guide participants through the process of developing a customised Property Management Plan — a roadmap for managing your land’s natural assets, improving productivity, and protecting environmental values.
Each workshop combines expert advice with on-ground learning, covering topics such as soil health, grazing and pasture management, water and weed management, revegetation, and native vegetation care. Participants will also receive personalised property maps, fact sheets and resources, and have the chance to connect with other landholders and technical experts.
The 2026 program is tailored for small properties (typically 5–100 hectares) and is open to landholders in the Coal Valley, as well as the surrounding Tasman and Sorell regions.
