The Protection of Agricultural Land Policy, and associated setback, is designed to avoid non-agricultural development - such as a prison - impacting agricultural activity on farms,


regardless of the zoning for the prison land. The setback applies for structures such as schools, hospitals, childcare centres, dwellings, caravan parks and any use that requires people to


be gathered for "extended periods".
