Landcare
The NSW Nationals in Government are investing in Landcare NSW to help it to deliver more initiatives for the environment and provide more support to their volunteers.
Conservation
The NSW Nationals support research to establish whether rare and endangered flora and fauna exist on reserves or in areas of remnant vegetation on agricultural private property located within rural areas, and will designate ‘environmentally sensitive areas’ if rare flora and fauna are found.
Water
Water security in our drying climate is vital for the growth of our regions – to supply quality drinking water as well as ensuring businesses and farms can maximise their potential.
Climate Change
The NSW Nationals acknowledge our climate is changing, resulting in more extreme and variable weather patterns.
Regional cities
The NSW Nationals believe investing in our regional centres is vital to the growth of our state – supporting regional business and industry and supplying a convenient place for a range of essential services.
Community development
Access to a range of diverse artistic and cultural experiences is important for the social wellbeing of all Australians.
Community safety
Emergency services workers – both paid and voluntary – make a huge contribution to the safety of people and property in regional NSW.
Telecommunications
The NSW Nationals in Government have invested heavily in improving regional telecommunications, which in conjunction with more Federal Government and private sector investment has reduced the number of mobile phone blackspots.
Energy
People living in regional, rural, and remote areas deserve access to cheaper, more reliable, and cleaner energy.
Housing
The NSW Nationals believe affordable housing is important for people living and working in regional, rural, and remote areas.
