Support for your stewardship journey

Owning or managing land is rewarding but can also come with a lot to learn. Get the support you need from Landscapes Hills and Fleurieu to look after your property with confidence.

Whether you’ve just moved to the region or are planning your next steps, we’re here to help you look after your property, from managing weeds and pests to protecting waterways and native vegetation, and understanding your legal responsibilities. Looking after your land is part of being a good steward of the region’s landscapes, and we’re here to support you in that role.

Below, you’ll find simple guides, advice and trusted resources to help you get started with confidence. You can also contact us for tailored support from your local Stewardship Officer.

Create a plan for your property with our '5 Step' guides

Managing your property well means making decisions that balance your goals with the needs of the landscapes. But knowing where to start, and what to focus on first, can be challenging. Our Stewardship Guides are designed to help you take that first step.

Each guide focuses on a key area of land management, offering practical advice and clear actions to support the health of your property and the broader environment. Whether you're dealing with weeds, erosion, watercourses, or native vegetation, these guides help you plan and prioritise with confidence.

You can download the guide that best suits your current needs, or use them all to build a complete property plan.
