NSW Dept of Planning and Environment

In 1935-36 the State Government appointed an Erosion Committee to investigate the problem of soil erosion in NSW. The Committee found that erosion was widespread on farming and grazing lands throughout the State and said that this State was liable to very serious losses on account of erosive damage. On 1 July 1991 the Department of Lands and the Soil Conservation Service were abolished and their functions were incorporated with the Land Titles Office and the Valuer General's Department under the Department of Conservation and Land Management. © State of New South Wales through Museums of History NSW
