Riverina apple grower Barney Hyams has been appointed chairman, supported by board members Elke Cleverdon, Diana Gibbs and Tony Wallace.
NSW primary industries minister Niall Blair said the new team would be capable and passionate advocates for local landholders.
“(Mr Hyams) brings a good understanding of what’s needed in this region and what local landholders need in terms of the services provided by LLS to improve primary production within healthy landscapes,” Mr Blair said.
Every three years, the minister appoints three local board members and a chair to each regional board, while ratepayers elect the remaining members.
The elections will take place in May this year and provide an opportunity for ratepayers to elect local representatives to their boards.
Nominations close on April 10.
