Farm Management Plan – Cattle Grazing Property and Sugar Gum Plantation Prepared by: Ashlee Thomas Volume: 10435 | Folio: 627 Total Area: 17.95 hectares ? 1. Purpose of the Farm Management Plan This plan is submitted in support of an application to construct a dwelling on agricultural land. The dwelling will enable on-site management of cattle and ensure the effective, secure, and sustainable operation of the property as a functioning grazing farm. ? 2. Proposed Farm Operations Livestock – Beef Cattle • Breed: Brahman • Initial Herd: 4 head, increasing to 6 over two years • Grazing Area: Approximately 8.5 hectares • Pasture System: Rotational grazing using 3–4 fenced paddocks • Feed: Primarily pasture-fed, with supplemental hay and minerals as needed • Water Source: Natural stream and on-site water tank Daily Management Tasks: • Feeding (especially during dry periods) • Monitoring and maintaining water supply • Animal health checks • Fence inspections and maintenance • Record keeping (tagging, weights, health treatments) Seasonal or As-Needed Tasks: • Calving supervision • Veterinary care (vaccinations, drenching) • Mustering and weighing • Pasture improvement (slashing, fertilisation) ? Plantation – Sugar Gum (Eucalyptus cladocalyx) • Area: Approximately 7 hectares • Purpose: Timber production and land diversification • Management: Ongoing maintenance, with plans to integrate silvopasture practices • Environmental Benefits: Windbreaks, erosion control, carbon capture, and biodiversity support 3. Justification for On-Site Residence • Animal Welfare: Immediate access is critical for calving and responding to illness or injury. • Security: A lived-in property reduces the risk of livestock theft, vandalism, and property damage. • Maintenance: Regular attention to fences and water systems is essential in rural areas. • Operational Efficiency: On-site management allows for early starts, responsive scheduling, and more effective farm oversight. ? 4. Environmental & Land Care Measures • Rotational grazing to prevent overgrazing and improve soil health • Regular soil testing with targeted fertilisation • Water conservation through tank storage and gravity-fed troughs • Fire preparedness with firebreaks, access tracks, and emergency water sources ? 5. Long-Term Farm Goals • Enhance pasture quality via reseeding and rotational grazing • Establish small-scale farm gate beef sales or local supply partnerships • Prioritise regenerative agricultural practices for soil and herd health • Maintain and expand the Sugar Gum plantation as a sustainable agroforestry component ? 6. Site Map attached in photos See the attached map showing property boundaries, the grazing area, Sugar Gum plantation, water sources, and the proposed locations for the dwelling and shed. Note: The road along the eastern boundary is identified as Kennedys Lane. ? 7. Dwelling Design Considerations The proposed residence is a high-quality, durable structure, potentially built with brick for increased longevity and fire resistance in line with BAL (Bushfire Attack Level) standards. A barn-style shed is proposed to the left of the residence, as indicated on the site map, to support storage and operational needs.
