Farm structures on agricultural land · Livestock
Manure store (pit)
Criteria in the regulation
In short: A manure store is mandatory at a livestock facility; its volume is the number of animals × the weekly manure coefficient × 26 weeks.
Conditions
- It is mandatory at every livestock facility; the Annex 13 calculation table is attached to the application.
Permit route
- Outside a large plain protection area: the provincial directorate of agriculture and forestry reviews the application and the governor's office grants permission; the land class does not matter, no alternative site is required and the Soil Conservation Board is not involved.
- In a large plain protection area: the Ministry grants permission provided there is no alternative site and the Board gives a favourable opinion; an alternative site is looked for first on your land outside the protection area and in specialised agricultural organised industrial zones (OIZs) in the district.
Zoning rules
- In areas without a zoning plan: FAR 0.4 for all buildings on the parcel, height 7.5 m and 2 storeys; setbacks of 10 m from the road and 5 m from the parcel boundary (Zoning Regulation for Unplanned Areas, art. 63).
- If the parcel is covered by an approved environmental plan or zoning plan, the plan's provisions apply first.
Interpretation note
There is no official rate for washing water and rainfall.
