Stud farm (horse breeding)

Criteria in the regulation

In short: At least 10 mares are required; the caretaker's house and feed store are sized in proportion to the stable area.

Conditions

Ancillary facilities: stable, paddock, shed, arena (training area), feed store, manure pit and caretaker's house.

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).
It is assumed that this structure will be treated as one of the farm structures listed in that article.
If the parcel is covered by an approved environmental plan or zoning plan, the plan's provisions apply first.

Interpretation note

The regulation does not say how the number of stalls grows with more than 10 mares; here it is assumed to be proportional to the number of mares.
