About ALCA

Our organisation

The Australian Land Conservation Alliance is a charity and public company limited by guarantee.

We represent our members and supporters to grow the impact, capacity and influence of private land conservation to achieve a healthy and resilient Australia.

By 2030, we seek to have grown a diverse, highly capable and resourced sector that protects, stewards and restores Australia’s privately managed land and water to reverse nature loss for a healthy and resilient Australia.

Underpinning our work is our 2030 Strategy: Protecting and stewarding for nature.

Our leadership

During our establishment years, we have been governed by a Board comprised of member representatives that are appointed as Directors.

ALCA says farewell to Chair Brendan Foran this week, after five years of strong leadership. Brendan has lead ALCA as Chair since 2018, through incorporation, establishment, and the growth of ALCA as a trusted and respected voice for private land conservation. The Board thanks Brendan for his strong and dedicated leadership, always bringing a sector-wide view to his responsibilities, and prepared to identify and address the big issues. He leaves a strong legacy for ALCA with a clear plan and path ahead.

Brendan’s parting reflections can be read here.

Board subcommittees include Sector Development, Finance Risk and Audit, Policy and Government Relations, and a Nominations Committee. The Board and committees meet regularly providing transparency and collaboration at the most senior levels of the member organisations.
