A working farm at Wyong Creek will be expanded with farm stay accommodation and an aviary for native birds of prey.
The farm stay will be for temporary, short-term paying guests, adding to small scale tourism in the area and a secondary business to primary production on the property.
The 6.47ha at 670 Yarramalong Rd, adjoining Ourimbah State Forest, is already being used for the keeping and breeding of Highland and Poll Highland cattle.
A new addition will an aviary for the keeping, breeding and training of native birds of prey, such as owls, hawks and falcons, to diversify the primary industry enterprises.
They will be part of mobile exhibitions which will take place off-site.
Other plans at the property include the demolition of the existing residence to make way for two other houses.
