Anecdotal evidence from rural property holders shows how COVID-19 has actually helped them during the pandemic.
A recent article on Commercial Real Estate outlines how several property holders have been able to diversify and grow their income during the pandemic.
Supplementing traditional farm income with agritourism is helping several landowners through this crisis.
A 2800-hectare sheep and cattle farm in NSW has taken on six casual staff and one full-time staff member to support their accommodation venture. The venture currently brings in a turnover equal to the farm income with an added bonus of a higher profit margin.
Farms with accommodation options are finding people who usually holiday overseas are opting for rural experiences and accommodation options.
In Queensland alone agritourism is forecast to grow to $5 billion by 2030.
With the recent update to the Noosa Plan and changes to short-term accommodation now is the time to review your offering. Even if you are not in the Noosa shire understanding what’s allowed under the zoning laws applicable to you is important if investing in a new venture.

From the very first phone call just enquiring Russell was incredibly helpful and patient with all my questions, offering me advice and guiding me through the whole process for my application.

Russell and the whole RG Strategic team, have been so effective for us as newcomers to Noosa. We have opened Jungle & Co, Australia's First Gut Health Bar within 6 weeks of getting the keys to our premises and that was made possible only by RG Strategic team. They have let us all the way and made sure we dealt with the best trades in the industry. Russell has exceptional skills to navigate the whole process of setting up any new business for success from the start. We highly recommend using RG Strategic services.

In our business of building renovations and construction, we often turn to professional consultants to guide us through the ever-changing rules that apply to this complex industry. RG Strategic with Russell Green leading his team has helped us through many of our projects, including the construction of our new factory/studio complex and a myriad of renovation projects that we have undertaken, none of which could have been successful without the invaluable assistance of Russell. Speed is often critical when processing town planning applications, due to tight build schedules and clients’ expectations, and Russell continues to amaze me with the speed and efficiency in which he undertakes all his work, with a powerful and effective commitment to each and every project. RG Strategic and Russell are our secret weapons.
