How Small Farm Consulting Can Help

Before you begin looking at properties, decide on what you need and want from your land. If a weekender or rural retreat is something you are looking for, a natural bush block may suit your needs. If you want to make a complete move and rear livestock even on a part time basis, consider a block that has adequate feed, water, shelter, good fencing and yards and transport access. Participating in a Pre-Purchase Workshop can help focus your priorities or goals.

There are legal obligations and responsibilities that place limits on rural landowners and properties regardless of its size, location and use. Prior to purchasing a property or even if you own a small farm or bush block, Small Farm Consulting can help you understand:

• Land use and land management determined by land class and location
• Livestock issues such as Rural Lands Protection Boards, nutrition, stock handling facilities and management of livestock
• The natural environment including water courses, native animals, vegetation and soils and how to act responsibly and take care of it
• Noxious weeds, animals and disease management to avoid prosecution
• Infrastructures including fences, yards and dams or bores are essential for livestock management.

Small Farm Consulting can provide you with the necessary skills and knowledge to understand your legal obligations and help avoid potential prosecution. Soil erosion, weed control, pest animals and diseases are all issues that Small Farm Consulting can help with. More importantly Small Farm Consulting can ensure you are able to maximise the enjoyment of owning a rural property.

Issue identification, management plan development and administration.

Erosion, revegetation and weed control are all activities that are often beyond many landowners’ available time or expertise. 

Small Farm Consulting gives you peace of mind by developing short or long term plans of works, contacting suppliers or contractors and overseeing works to ensure a suitable outcome at an agreed price.
