My wife and I have a 15 acre farm in Toongabbie, Victoria. We've received a notice from council asking us to prove that we're "primary producers" or have (proper) plans to be. To do this we need an accountant who's on the ball with the intricacies of small farming ventures and can help us put this plan together so that the council can see what we want to do. We've only just moved in and spent a fortune on fences so there's not much left at present to get stock...

How do we find such an accountant?

From your experience do they need to be local to you?

Thanks in advance, Malcolm & Marion...
