As part of a review of the election process, Local Land Services is conducting a survey to understand how it can improve the experience for voters.
Open to new and long-time voters, the short, five-minute survey closes on 17 April 2025.
Local Land Services CEO Kate Lorimer-Ward said feedback would inform recommendations to make the election process more engaging and accessible.
“Local boards play a key role in connecting Local Land Services to landholders and communities across NSW,” Ms Lorimer-Ward said.
“The election process allows our customers to vote for who represents them on their local board and is critical to ensuring their voice is heard on matters that affect them, so it’s important we make it as simple as possible.
“While there was an increase in the number of voters in last year’s election, compared to 2020, we recognise there’s room to improve engagement with the election process.
“Whether you're a past voter or have never voted before, we want to hear from you about what’s working well and where we can make improvements.”
Local board elections are run in accordance with the LLS Regulation 2014. The review Local Land Services is undertaking will inform where regulatory and non-regulatory changes may need to be considered to improve customer experience.
In addition to elected board members, each of Local Land Services’ 11 local boards has some Ministerially appointed members.
Together they provide oversight of local strategic planning, performance monitoring and local policy, helping to shape the services Local Land Services delivers.
The chair of each local board sits on the statewide Local Land Services Board, which is responsible for overseeing statewide priorities in line with the State Strategic Plan.
Those interested can complete the survey online. All responses are anonymous.
