Rural Lands, Soil and Water Laws

Farming covers much of Tasmania’s land area and can have profound impacts on environmental quality. Rural industries use large quantities of chemicals and fertilisers and these are released directly into the open environment. Farming activities can have major impacts on water quality, soils and erosion and can pose a significant threat to remnant patches of native vegetation.
