Caring for Country: A Guide to Environmental Law for Aboriginal Communities in NSW, 2nd Edition
This guide is written specifically for Aboriginal communities living in NSW, recognising that environmental issues don’t affect everyone in the same way. The guide may be useful for people from other states but many of the laws referred to in this guide are NSW laws and the law may differ in other states. It is hoped that this guide will help you to better understand the many complicated laws relating to country, culture and heritage so that you will be in a better position to protect your rights and the environment.
Caring for the Coast: A Guide to Environmental Law for Coastal Communities in NSW, 2nd Edition
Since this booklet was published, the NSW Government has amended the NSW Coastal Protection Act 1979. The amendments created the NSW Coastal Panel and regulations relating to the types of works that can be undertaken to protect property from inundation and coastal erosion (such as temporary or long term protection works). The new provisions are outlined in EDO NSW's Fact Sheet 5.5 on coastal protection.

A Guide to Private Conservation in NSW
Public reserves such as national parks account for a small fraction of all land in Australia. Without conservation on private land much of Australia’s biodiversity may be lost. This is why government and non-government organisations are working towards encouraging landholders to take steps to conserve some or all of the natural features of their properties. A range of private conservation mechanisms have been developed in the hope that more of Australia’s biodiversity can be preserved. This publication will help you understand the different private conservation options available and help you decide which option would be most suitable for your property and circumstances. This publication was produced with the financial support of the NSW Government through its Environmental Trust. The guide is available free to the community. To order you copy, email us or phone us on 02 9262 6989 and provide your name, address and the number of copies you would like. Postage is free.
