The Law
You own your own land and you can do want you want – not exactly.
The law will follow you onto your farm and whilst you do not need to be a lawyer, it is advisable to know the basics and your legal responsibilities.
Most breaches occur through ignorance and are not intentionally malicious – and in most cases that is not a great defence.
All About Your Farm will explain to you the high level regulation points and where to go for information and assistance.
You will gain an understanding of:
- Livestock and the Law, including welfare and transport obligations.
- Notifiable diseases and notifiable weeds.
- Notifiable Health and Safety incidents.
- Agricultural Chemicals, Dangerous Goods and poisons.
- Native Vegetation and Native Fauna regulations and who oversees what.
- Local Government engagement, what for and when.
- Building inspectors vs building permits.
- Employment Law.
