The department is partnering with the Institute of Community Directors Australia to deliver a governance development training program for Crown land managers (CLMs). All CLMs involved in the management of approximately 34,000 Crown reserves across NSW, those with a lease or licence on Crown reserves, and volunteers who assist appointed CLMs managing reserves are invited to participate. This program is dedicated to supporting CLMs and provides a unique opportunity to share experiences, celebrate ideas and gain knowledge.
The program includes a Diploma of Governance course, interactive online workshops as well as online webinars, outlined below.
CLMs can now access a library of webinars to support their roles in managing reserves. The webinar recordings cover topics such as finance basics, Aboriginal cultural awareness, conflict resolution, funding and more.
Access to the webinars is restricted to appointed CLMs who have supplied their email address to Crown Lands. View our guide on how to access the webinars.

These smaller group workshops support Crown land managers (CLMs) to actively examine everyday challenges and participate in real-life practice sessions. Scenarios and case studies used in these workshops will explore issues typically faced by CLMs. The interactive workshops build on knowledge gained in the introductory webinar series and are delivered using interactive videoconferencing technology to groups of up to 15 participants. Participants will be guided by skilled presenters to find and confidently use relevant resources from the Reserve Manager website and learn how to access the ICDA Policy Bank and Resource Hub.
**Registrations are limited to 15 per workshop and only open to existing Crown land managers or volunteers assisting on Crown reserves.
