BLOCK 7, RIVERS ROAD ORGANIC FARMS
This 8.42 hectare bare block has uniform red clays, mostly free draining, and direct access to power. It is irrigated with a shared 3.6ML/ha river/bore licence. It is one of twelve farm blocks within a unique, successful Community Title organic farm development, has been fully soil surveyed and is surrounded by wide lanes for vehicles and stock, and native tree windbreaks. Block 7 comes with an associated 0.5 hectare house block with building approval, underground phone, power and water connected.
There is no limitation on your farming activities except that you maintain organic certification. As part of a group of certified organic growers there is greater potential to achieve your goals through cooperation, as outlined in the Management Statement:
"The objective of this Neighbourhood Scheme is to facilitate the creation of viable intensive organic agricultural developments by promoting co-operation and self-reliance among the proprietors of Lots in the Neighbourhood Plan"

2011 Harvest Kalavista Olives
The olive harvest is over for another year. Our plump, ripe kalamata olives are pickling happily. The trees have made a sigh of relief as the weight has been lifted.

Organic Community Title
"The objective of this Neighbourhood Scheme is to facilitate the creation of viable intensive organic agricultural developments by promoting co-operation and self-reliance among the proprietors of Lots in the Neighbourhood Plan." By-Law 1, Neighbourhood Management Statement, Rivers Road Organic Farms, DP 285610.
The above objective can only be changed by unanimous decision by all members of this neighbourhood plan, and therefore is an effective organic covenant.
This unusual application of organic certification formed the basis for Cowra Council approval of the Development Application in 1998. The Council was at the time accutely aware of the risks of rural subdivision in areas of prime agricultural land. They referred to a NSW shire council which had been sued by a resident of a subdivided block adjacent to cotton farms, because of the chemical drift.
