planning report Kabi golf and farm stay STA

5.0 Proposed development details

The vision of the applicant/owners is to provide a ‘farm to plate’ visitor accommodation experience
for groups interested in permaculture. The proposal adds a farm stay to the existing golf course and
expands the existing permaculture farming practices to include a syntropic market garden with
paddock grazing areas. The proposal has been designed in accordance with the detailed
investigation and reporting by local award-winning farm designers PermEco Permaculture
Consultants.


The proposed built form is designed around the existing (and amended) farming activities consisting
of a reception and central hall building, with three accommodation ‘villages’. The villages will
accommodate 84, 112 and 50 people in small cabins/rooms (246 beds) and nearby manager/teacher
rooms (max 300 persons onsite at any one time including staff). Each cabin will have an ensuite and
sleep a maximum of 4 people in various configurations. The village includes activity/relaxation areas
and a dining area suitable for the number of people that can be accommodated in the villages. The
existing clubhouse is proposed to be demolished with a new reception, office, dining/ kitchen and
multipurpose hall proposed adjoining the main carparking and bus parking area.


The villages are to be predominantly used for school and church groups, as well as other tourist
groups seeking to stay in a unique working farm setting, where the accommodation, cropping,
livestock and golfing complement each other and the environment.
