Discontent over the condition of the NSW Travelling Stock Reserves (TSR) has led to Drovers & TSR group leader Paul Murphy addressing the issues formally with Local Land Services (LLS).

With reports of faulty fences and weak water reserves across the state, regional stock drovers claim to be putting up with routes that fall well below what they pay for.

NSW routes are on Crown Lands, and LLS is in charge of managing the TSRs on behalf of the NSW Government.

Mr Murphy said drovers across the state are unhappy with the LLS's upkeep and management of routes.

"We're trying to work with them and try and come up with a solution," he said.

"It's just a matter of everyone working together. Hopefully they'll sit with us and try and work out where we can go with it or if we can help them with it."

Local cattle drover Les Trindall says the TSRs around Coonamble don't meet requirements.

"There's a lot of stock on the routes and I wouldn't know what amount of money they collect on average for the year, but they don't seem to be pumping anything back in," Mr Trindall says.

"Some of the dams haven't had the catchments done for years.

"It's sort of just a swamp; the water's buggered in a lot of places."

 Mr Trindall says the LLS need to look after the waterways.

Another Western Plains drover who wishes to remain anonymous says the routes were in great quality years ago, but now there is not much to show for the money put in.

The drover's contractor pays around $16,000 monthly to the keep drovers on TSRs.

"They don’t seem to be putting any of it back into the infrastructure," the drover says.

LLS Central West Team Leader Matt Lane says there are around 13 workers in his zone, including two field officers and one ranger to look after the TSRs and they are on top of the route maintenance.

"It's a difficult job to keep up with, but the fellows up there do a great job planning and getting around and trying to always maintain the reserves," he says.

 The Drovers & TSR group sent a letter to the LLS addressing the issues on behalf of drovers NSW on 10 February.

"There are experienced drovers that are willing to work with new inexperienced rangers, making it easier for the rangers to better manage TSR’s and Travelling Stock," the letter reads.

"We want to work with you and resolve this issue, moving on for the benefit of the communities."

Committee members come from across the state, including areas surrounding Coonamble, Lankey's Creek, Hay and Sandy Creek.

The group is currently waiting for the LLS to respond.
