Background Information for Learners/ Panimula (Susing Konsepto)
The ‗Farming for the Future‘(FFTF) program can help you to plan the best farm layout. It is an
initiative of NSW Government agencies focusing on whole farm planning. A whole farm plan considers
the farm‘s physical, financial and human/personal resources for both now and the future.
Assessment of a farm is necessary so that a map can be drawn of the property‘s topography,
boundaries, soils, water resources and so on, and a farm business plan can be formulated.
Acquaint yourself with relevant Regional Environmental Plans (REPs), Local Environmental Plans
(LEPs), and Development Control Plans (DCPs) and their short and long-term effects on your proposed or
existing farm enterprise. This will help reduce unforeseen risks and enhance your farm business. Council‘s
building approval or development consent (DAs) may be needed for siting greenhouses, siting and
constructing dams or erecting hail and windbreak netting. Council approval to clear land or a ‗no burning
of crop debris or waste materials on farm‘ may apply. Consent will be required if odor or noise is a nuisance
likely to be generated from the development.
