“Of the hundreds of properties the estate agents bombarded us with it was hard to judge their natural values. The TLC’s advice was invaluable. It was very important to us that the protected land was of a size to prosper and provide viable habitat for plants and animals. We live on the land and we see ourselves as caretakers,” - Janice & Rolf, Revolving Fund property purchasers.

“We have a self-managed superfund. A few years ago, our children checked the fund for us and found we had shares in gas fracking, coal power stations, coal mining, gambling and oil. We didn’t like what we discovered so as a family we decided to sell our fossil fuel and unethical shares. It was around this time we found out about the TLC’s Revolving Fund and looked at land for sale on the east coast. We considered a few properties before falling in love with one just south of Swansea. We purchased the property and paid for it with the sale of our shares. We’ve always been interested in the environment and conservation, so our family was very happy with the concept of turning unethical shares into conserving land. It gave us something we love and can share, brought the money back to Tassie, and to cap it off, it’s been a very sound investment.” - the Houston family, Revolving Fund property purchasers.

How the Revolving Fund works

The Revolving Fund enables the purchase of land with important natural values that can subsequently be protected through a conservation covenant, a legally binding agreement under the Tasmanian Nature Conservation Act (2002). Property-specific covenants are registered on the land title in perpetuity, giving an assurance that important natural values are protected and managed for generations to come. Once protected the Revolving Fund properties are sold and the new owners become the custodians of their own conservation reserves. This process can take some time - from finding a property, assessing and valuing it, signing a contract and then completing the covenanting process, to putting the protected property up for sale, can often take longer than a year.

The success of the Revolving Fund can be attributed to high conservation value properties being purchased by committed conservation-minded landholders. The Revolving Fund has protected priority habitats across Tasmania for 55 threatened flora and fauna species, including nationally endangered species.

Do you have a Property for Sale?

The TLC has selected every property primarily for its high ecological value and each property offers an existing home or an attractive home site. The TLC through our Revolving Fund Program uses the proceeds of sales to purchase and protect further important properties. Together, we build a network of areas cherished by owners for their natural values.

While limited resources mean we can’t buy all the properties we would like to, the TLC is looking for properties to revolve. The criteria for selection are:

• Important conservation values
• Resale potential
• Financial viability
