Is your property located in a designated Farming Zone?

Does your property fall within the Farming Zone (FZ), Rural Living Zone or Rural Conservation Zone? This zone can be somewhat restrictive in circumstances and difficult to navigate. AS Planning have an in-depth understanding of the intricacies of the Farming Zone and have achieved countless Planning Permits triggered under the zone; whether it be achieving a respectable built form within the agricultural landscape, the need to remove trees (Clause 52.17 Native Vegetation may apply) or a use of the land which isn’t for farming purposes. AS Planning are also able to help arrange the preparation of a Land Capability Assessment (LCA), which is a common requirement for development applications within the Farming Zone.
