Agriculture industry snapshots for planning
Agricultural industry snapshots are summary statements of the main agricultural industries in all regions across NSW. They enable an understanding of agriculture at a regional or sub-regional level and provide information to enable a deeper understanding of agricultural industries.
The information provides evidence for strategic planning to enable agricultural land and agriculturally based economies to be recognised, protected and supported by the NSW planning framework. Nineteen snapshots have been developed across the ten Planning Regions in the State. Some regions have more than one snapshot to reflect the diversity of agriculture and farming operations that occur in different parts of a region.
Recognition of agricultural industries as a significant contributor economically, environmentally and culturally is the precursor to applying best practice land use planning to enable industry investment and growth.
