The agriculture sector within Lismore and Nimbin is diverse and takes advantage of all opportunities to value add to agriculture.

Hear from the inspirational leaders from our agri-economy sector talking about our regions exceptional attributes as a great place to live, work, play and invest.

The NSW State Government introduced reforms in December 2022 that allow small-scale agritourism activities to occur on commercial farms without planning approval (exempt development) or through a fast-tracked approval process (complying development). See our factsheet and guidelines on our agritourism page.
