           tourism and further acknowledging those aspects of the use are consistent with the aim
           to facilitate: “The evolution of traditional agriculture and the emergence of new sectors
           are supported by encouraging opportunities for value adding to occur before agricultural
           produce leaves the farm gate or leaves the region”
     2.    The use contributes to the overall outcome 2 (h) of the Rural Zone that envisages that
           “The establishment of outdoor recreation and small-scale tourism facilities in suitable
           locations is facilitated in a manner that does not significantly compromise the rural
           productivity or ecological values of the land.”
D.   Advise the applicant that if they wish to continue to operate the stall as a coffee shop an
     application is required for a food and drink outlet. The application should be lodged within 6
     months and during this time the use may continue to operate from the site subject to the use
     not causing any significant impacts on the area.
