Module GD - Off-farm activities

This module will help you determine whether you can start activities that permit or require grazing or taking water. The activity must:

  • be in direct connection to a primary production activity
  • take place over an area adjoining or a near to a freehold estate, pastoral or agricultural lease.

If there’s a determination that exclusive native title rights and interests exist over the proposed dealing area, module GD does not apply. Go to module GE.
