Farm Management Plans for Rural Victoria
Clear, practical planning support for agricultural land.
What is a Farm Management Plan?
A Farm Management Plan (FMP) brings together the agricultural, land management and planning context of a rural property. It can help demonstrate how land is or will be productively managed and how a proposed development relates to the agricultural use of the property.
When might you need one?
- A planning application for a dwelling on Farming Zone or other rural land
- A planning application involving a new or changed agricultural use
- Responding to a council request for further information about the proposed farming operation
- Supporting a rural planning proposal where agricultural or land-management information is required
