Local Land Services promotes fair access and allocation of travelling stock reserves (TSR).
Tender process
Long term grazing permits are allocated through a tender process.
Successful submissions are assessed based on selection criteria that determine the annual permit fee and ensures appropriate ongoing management of the TSR.
Long term grazing permits only apply to a portion of TSR in each Local Land Services region. Additional permits are still available to authorise short-term TSR access for stock grazing and other uses.
Landholders with long term grazing permits must still obtain a separate permit to move or graze livestock on public roads.

Tender submissions were open from Monday 3 March, 2025 and closed on Sunday, 30 March 2025.
Successful tenderers were invited to apply for a permit to commence from the beginning of July 2025.
