Footage has revealed bulldozers again clearing land on a property owned by the son of a man accused of shooting dead an environment officer in NSW's north last week.

Ian Robert Turnbull, 79, was charged with the murder of Glen Turner at Croppa Creek, north-east of Moree.

Turnbull was involved in a long-running dispute with the Environment Department over land clearing which had previously taken place in the region.

Mr Turner was in the area to respond to reports of illegal land clearing when he was allegedly killed by Turnbull.

The Land and Environment court last week ordered Ian Turnbull's son Grant Turnbull to begin remediation work on his property, known as 'Colorado', after his father pleaded guilty to illegally clearing over 400 hectares of native vegetation.

Since then, footage filmed by Tamworth-based ecologist Phil Spark and obtained by the ABC shows that on Monday this week, a bulldozer was again clearing land on 'Colorado'.

"I saw a dozer operating at Colorado, pushing up burning piles of timber in the area recently cleared," he said.

"Every additional impact is going to make remediation more difficult.

"The timber debris that's left after the clearing which they're burning now, that could have been habitat in the remediation area."

The ABC also understood bulldozers were operating at the property on Wednesday.

Phil Redpath speaks out in defence of his former colleague Glen Turner, who was gunned down in Croppa Creek.

Attempts to cast the slain environmental officer Glen Turner as a pariah who was persecuting an honest farmer have appalled a former colleague, who fears the alleged killer will be romanticised as some kind of Ned Kelly of land clearers.

I want to honour Glen by setting the record straight, said Steve Beaman, who worked alongside Mr Turner as a compliance officer in the states north-west for the state Office of Environment and Heritage.

Mr Beaman, who took redundancy last year, accompanied Mr Turner in August 2012 when he visited Ian Turnbull, the 79-year-old farmer who is now accused of murdering Mr Turner in a hail of five gunshots, three of which hit the man.

Mr Turnbull allegedly ambushed Mr Turner and fellow officer Robert Strange last week on a dirt road at Croppa Creek, north of Moree.

I was deeply grieved by Glens death, Mr Beaman said. But he became troubled two days later when he read a media statement from a Turnbull family member who described Ian Turnbull as a respected elder who crumbled under the pressure of prosecutions and orders to remediate land cleared of trees.

Mr Turnbull had been unhappy about Mr Turner visiting their properties and the family reportedly hoped this tragedy would lead to changes to the NSW Native Vegetation Act to give farmers more say about land clearing.

The West Australian

WA is on the cusp of its biggest agricultural land releases in decades as the State Government shows a growing appetite for unlocking hundreds of thousands of hectares for farming.

In addition to land being allocated for irrigation projects which could cover 100,000ha in the north of WA, the Government is considering releasing 200,000ha of crown land near Esperance for farming.

The land targeted for release around Cascade covers the equivalent of a third of Perth's sprawling metropolitan area.

It is surrounded by thriving farms in a 350mm to 400mm-a-year rainfall zone. Based on recent sales of $1500 per cropping hectare in the region, it would be worth up to $300 million minus development costs.

The Goldfields-Esperance Development Commission, the Shire of Esperance and the local chamber of commerce pushed for the land release at a regional Cabinet meeting in the town in June. It is understood the proposal has gained considerable traction within Government.

Esperance shire president Malcolm Heasman said the land was anything but marginal and opening it up would provide a big boost to the local economy.

Mr Heasman said five areas within the shire boundary had been identified for conversion to farm land. The land had been gazetted for farms in the past but never released.

Mr Heasman said the initial reaction from Cabinet ministers and Government moves to open up land for farming in the north encouraged the shire and GEDC to pursue the release.

He said much more was known about land-clearing for farming than in the 1970s and 80s. It is understood the land is largely free from native title complications.

Calling for the repeal of the NSW Native Vegetation Act 2003: Minister for Agriculture Barnaby Joyce. Photo: Fairfax Media

Glen Turner was shot in the back on Tuesday last week. He was shot multiple times. When he was killed he was working beside a public road near Moree. He was not serving an infringement notice in his capacity as a senior compliance officer with the Office of Environment and Heritage, enforcing the law against illegal land clearing.

The killing of this 51-year-old father of two, which police will allege was the result of a calculated ambush, is a grave matter of public concern. People in the central west are appalled that the killing has attached itself to the local farming community. In this context, the Herald believes some of the comments by elected officials have been unhelpful.

Starting at the top, the federal Minister for Agriculture, Barnaby Joyce, responded to the killing by calling for the repeal of the NSW Native Vegetation Act 2003.

This is not helpful, even though Mr Joyce decried the killing of a man who wasnt the architect of this law ... just doing his job. The NSW Farmers Association has described the Native Vegetation Act as one of the biggest impediments to sustainable food and fibre production in NSW. Mr Joyce went further over the weekend, telling The Northern Daily Leader: You have this crazy situation where you dont own the vegetation on your land, the state government does, and many people have had enough ... Im calling on the state government to repeal it, get rid of these laws ... they shouldnt be the responsibility of anyone to try and enforce.

While his comments, and the views of the NSW Farmers Association, offer insights into the gravity of this issue to many farmers who feel they have to bear an excessive burden, the killing of Mr Turner cannot be attached to even a semblance of justification because of a state law that many farmers regard as onerous.

Not helpful, also, was the comment by the mayor of Moree Plains Shire Council, Katrina Humphries, who said she had feared the land-clearing issue would erupt in violence. The mayor was in no way offering any rationalisation for the crime, but her comment is only a few steps away from creating an image of farmers with guns wanting to protect their land from meddling ideologues.

Also unhelpful was the comment by the local state MP, Kevin Humphries, the member for Barwon, who said this case had become very personal because of the protracted nature of the dispute between the family of the accused killer, Ian Turnbull, and the Office of Environment and Heritage. Many people become involved in protracted litigation. The law moves with infamous slowness. But almost never does a commercial legal dispute lead to a death. This outcome was highly unusual.
