Farm structures on agricultural land · Storage, tools and machinery
Shed for tools and machinery
Criteria in the regulation
In short: If the land threshold is exceeded, an open or half-open shed of up to 50 m² can be built for tools and machinery.
Conditions
- It can be built on agricultural land of any class.
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 rule on leased land and shares is not repeated in this article; no limit on the number per family is stated.
