Frequently Asked Questions
What infrastructure should be prioritised first on a new homestead block?
Water access and secure fencing tend to be the two things everything else depends on — it's hard to establish animals, gardens, or comfortable daily life without both sorted early.
Do I need council approval for homestead infrastructure like dams or sheds?
Often yes, particularly for anything involving water (dams, bores) or larger structures — check with your local council and state water authority before building, since retrofitting compliance after the fact is far harder than confirming it first.
