This document is currently written from a perspective of selecting land for any use. We are keen to develop a village specific version of it. It is focused on Australian considerations though most of the criteria is applicable wherever you are. Some criteria may be Australian specific and some considerations in your location may not be addressed. If you’d like to create a version for where ever you are then we’d love you to share it with us so that we can share it with others.
