The Taylors own a small sheep farm in on land zoned RU1 specialising in organic meat products, but their real passion is cheese making.

Agritourism case studies

The Taylors want to construct a small building to run workshops and teach others how to make cheese. They also want to run tours of the property to show off the farm and the environmental restoration they have done.

The changes will make it easier for them to attract visitors to their farm for tours while still running their main agriculture business. 

The Taylors can choose to:

  • erect a new building of up to 200 m2 for classes as farm gate premises under complying development rules
  • conduct tours to show their environmental restoration and farming practices as farm experience premises under exempt development rules
  • host up to 100 visitors at a time for classes and an unlimited number of visitors for tours.

If they would like to expand their business, they can lodge a development application with their local council.
