The Challenge

Why Farming & Agriculture Licensing is complicated

1

Licensing and approval requirements can vary significantly depending on your agricultural activity, location and the type of operation you run.

2

Multiple authorities may be involved, with requirements potentially covering agriculture, biosecurity, water, environment, planning and local government.

3

Applications can require a range of supporting information, including property details, business information, identification, plans, certificates and other documentation.

4

It can be difficult to know exactly which licence, registration, permit or approval applies to your specific agricultural activities.

5

Managing applications, supporting documents and follow-up requests takes time — time that could otherwise be spent running your agricultural business.
