Landmate allows Landcare/Friends groups in our region to access natural resource management services at no cost for three days over a 12-month period if carrying out works on public land. If your group is delivering a current Victorian Landcare Grant project, your group can also access the crew for as many days as they are available and is needed for the project. There is also the option to pay a fee for service for the crew which costs $450 a day. To learn more about the Landmate crew – click here or contact; andrew.marx@justice.vic.gov.au
