Presentation to Glenaroua Landcare - Mitchell Proposed Significant Landscape Overlays




Protect Our Farms secretary Rae Clark addresses local farmers at the Glenaroua Landcare meeting on 15 August 2024. She explains the proposed Significant Landscape Overlays (SLOs) for Mitchell Shire, which will cover 58,000 acres of private farming land. Rae outlines what SLOs are, where they are proposed, and highlights concerns around new permit requirements and their impact on farming operations. She also discusses problems with Council’s consultation process, including poor engagement with farmers who are directly impacted. This video dives into the core issues farmers face, the misleading consultation process, and why landholders are uniting to challenge these restrictive overlays.
