“…These land transfers are seen as part of a wider problem; the loss of high quality agricultural land to subdivision and "lifestyle" ownership in the Sydney region and elsewhere in Australia (Gillespie, 2003, Hindle et al, 1987, Houston, 2005. In Jamberoo Valley, high annual rainfall (1800mm) and good soils (Hindle et al, 1987) have not been enough to prevent the decline of dairying in the face of progressive reductions in industry protection (Edwards, 2003) and low returns.…”

Changes in landownership associated with amenity migration are affecting the demographic, cadastral and ecological conditions of rural landscapes. These changes and concerns about their impacts on natural resource management, including ecological conservation, relate to both the structural consequences of landownership change, land subdivision and to the motivations, management ability and attitudes of lifestyle oriented rural landowners. Based on an Australian case study near Sydney, NSW, this paper examines the motivations and practices of such landowners, assesses potential consequences for vegetation and characterises the landowners according to three stewardship types.

“…Subsequently, there has been a steady decline, with recent estimates at less than 8,000 dairy cattle (ABS, 1955(ABS, -2005. Explanations for the reduction center on diminishing industry protection, low returns, and dramatically increasing land values as well as the oft-identified mix of factors leading to declines in farming elsewhere, such as shifting livelihood choices within farming families, a growth in alternative employment opportunities, and rising production costs (Edwards, 2003;Gillespie, 2003;Hindle et al, 1987;Houston, 2005;Klepeis, Scull, Lalonde, Svajlenka, & Gill, 2013). Farmers have strong incentives to subdivide and sell their land.…”

The Paradox of Engagement: Land Stewardship and Invasive Weeds in Amenity Landscapes

A Comparative Political Ecology of Exurbia

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In New South Wales, Australia, rural landscapes are undergoing profound change as a result of exurbanization. Newcomers-amenity migrants-are drawn to the scenic beaches, forests, and open landscape character of this part of Australia near Sydney and they join existing communities of long-term residents, notably ranchers involved in dairy, beef, and other types of primary agricultural production. The rural to exurban transition is stimulating both intended and unintended socio-ecological changes, especially the proliferation of invasive weeds, which are considered to be a top national priority as they threaten Australia's agricultural economy. Drawing on interview and survey research from three case studies in New South Wales, locations where an influx of exurbanites has led to mixed landscapes of production and consumption, we explore landowners' diverse environmental ideologies, the degree to which they collaborate with one another, and their specific land-use practices. Results show that an overwhelming majority of both exurbanites and ranchers express concerns about weeds, but there is a marked lack of coordinated engagement on invasive species between the two types of groups. This chapter is an example of social disengagement over land-use and land-cover change, rather than competition or cooperation, and contributes to a political ecological understanding of the coconstruction of social relations and land management regimes.

“…Les dispositions propres à chaque État étaient administrées par les State Marketing Authorities (SMA). Ces SMA, des ofices de commercialisation étatiques responsables de la mise en marché, détenaient un monopole sur la commercialisation du lait au niveau de la production, en plus de réglementer la mise en marché à tous les échelons de la ilière (Edwards, 2003). Au cours des années 1980-90, la plupart des États ont abandonné leurs contrôles des prix en aval, mais ont maintenu leur régu-lation sur la production.…”

“…Dans l'ensemble, ces méca-nismes permettaient de ixer un prix pour le lait de consommation plus élevé que le prix payé sur le marché du lait de transformation. Compte tenu des différences de prix entre les États, des mesures légales permettaient de restreindre le commerce du lait de consommation entre les États (Edwards, 2003). C'est justement ce cadre d'intervention qui, le 1 er juillet 2000, a été démantelé.…”

“…En effet, l'annonce de l'abolition du soutien réservé au secteur du lait de transformation retirait l'incitatif pour l'industrie laitière de l'État de Victoria, la plus importante de l'Australie, de ne pas vendre sur le marché, plus proitable, du lait de consommation des RECHERCHES autres États. Proitant du contexte créé par la National Competition Policy, l'État de Victoria décida de démanteler dès juin 2000 son système de mise en marché du lait de consommation (Edwards, 2003).…”
