Cabonne Council is currently reviewing all properties classified under the Farmland rating category to ensure they meet the legal requirements set out in the Local Government Act 1993 (NSW).
To ensure fairness and compliance, Council is introducing a revised Farmland Application process. Property owners will need to complete a Farmland Application Form every four years to confirm their eligibility. This process will roll out gradually across the Cabonne Local Government Area over the next month. Letters will be posted to all current Farmland Rating holders with details on how to complete the application.
We understand this may take time, and we appreciate the effort from our farming community. This review is essential to ensure that the Farmland category is reserved for genuine primary producers.
All applications must be submitted by Monday, 5 February 2026 COB.
