  • Traditionally the New South Wales Northern Rivers region has been prime farmland, but recently its become prime real estate.
    In locations like Byron Bay food and beverage manufacturing is booming - but are these businesses getting their produce from local farmers?
    Landline's Halina Baczkowski headed coastal to find out.

    The funniest thing is if you build homes on farms before you know it the valley will be City

    Such a shame what has happened to Northern NSW and South East Qld. It has changed so much I hardly recognise it, I have lived here for 40 years and I remember our weekends from Burleigh driving to Byron to camp, such good memories, but everything is different now. Lucky for me I have the memories.

    My parents just sold 40 acres of macadamias about 20 minutes from Byron. Because of the size of their property they had problems finding anyone interested in it. Had to firesale the place after 30 years.
    They were offered less than the cost of production for their nuts this year.

    I moved up there for a few years in 2015. I remember pulling up to the car park at the wreak and got chatting to an old local. He said “ you’re about 40 years to late” boy isn’t he right

    I remember visiting Byron in the early ‘70s and the headland had for sale signs on it. Dad had a look and they were about $500 a block. I remember him asking who would buy here a whale station full of sharks.

    Nice of ABC to give all these highly successful multi million dollar businesses some free publicity! To think you could have wasted this whole video on highlighting some of the smaller, newer, struggling businesses...

    With this countries insatiable appetite for selecting producing land and rezoning for houses, I feel we know which way this will go.

      Insatiable appetite is a diplomatic way of saying entitled greed.

      In context we are in a housing crisis so houses are needed to be fair

    A shame about stone and wood, but when a dump truck full of cash pulls up it must be hard to resist.

    They all say what they're supposed to say to maximize profits and position. But the bottom line is everything is forsale at the right price. Including Value and principles. For the very few 'genuine' farmers, they just sit back and wait for the greedy government rates and land taxes to force them out. (Or make them compromise their ethics and values to survive) it's just business.

    An environmentally beautiful but socially repulsive region.
