Farm structures on agricultural land · Vineyard house, energy, water and soil
Livestock drinking-water pond
No set dimensions · assessed by the provincial directorate
In short: A pond for watering animals counts as a farm structure; no dimensions are set.
The regulation names this structure but sets no area or capacity limits; the provincial directorate of agriculture and forestry assesses how much area is needed based on the project.
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
- The regulation sets no dimensions; it does not say whether the building rules for areas without a zoning plan (FAR, setbacks) apply to these infrastructure structures.
- If the parcel is covered by an approved environmental plan or zoning plan, the plan's provisions apply first.
Select your parcel on the map and open "Building on agricultural land › Building types" to calculate this structure's limits with your parcel's data.
