Agritourism changes Survey

NSW Government is seeking to improve the planning system to better enable working farms to diversify and supplement farm incomes through small scale tourism activities, if they wish. These activities include things like functions, accommodation and value adding to farm produce.

The intention is to enable more on farm activities without the need for expensive and time consuming development approvals, while respecting the main business enterprise is production in a rural setting.

We are interested in any concerns you may have with the proposed changes, and seek your input to assist us in suggesting any changes to the draft.

Further information on the proposed changes is available here, and a copy of the proposed instrument to make the changes is available here.
