The review will examine the current and future needs of the TSR network for livestock producers.
It will also assess other land uses such as cultural, Aboriginal, social and environmental purposes.
Feedback from stakeholders and interested community members across NSW will be taken until June 22.
“The aim of the TSR review is to determine which TSRs are still used or required for the original purpose they were set aside for, and to determine if they are important for other reasons,” a government spokesperson said.
“This information will feed future decisions about how this land can be best reserved, managed and owned.”
Member for Barwon Kevin Humphries said it was “important to note that the review is not about a sell-off of TSRs”.
“It’s about getting solid evidence about what TSRs are used and valued for today,” Mr Humphries said.
“The 2013 review of Crown land found many TSRs are no longer used for their original purpose, and with over 6500 parcels of Crown land covering about two million hectares, it’s important we increase our knowledge and understanding of this significant public asset.”
