Fencing and Farm Planning

After a bushfire, your first priority will be to replace the boundary fence and possibly establish emergency stock containment areas. There is less urgency on internal fencing and rather than putting internal fencing back where it was, the loss of fencing presents you with an opportunity to review your farm layout and management.

DPI offers a variety of programs to assist in developing a whole-farm plan.

Whole-farm planning, or property management planning, is a management tool used to determine the optimum layout of land used for primary production. The aim of whole-farm planning is to optimise production while reducing land degradation and improving environmental outcomes.
