In 2019, GSD completed a comprehensive “How To” manual to support agricultural business to transition into providers of cattle station stay experiences. This manual is now out of date.
With funding provided by the Queensland Government through the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning’s Regional Economic Futures Fund, GSD will review the Farm Stay Manual and update with current regulatory requirements and visitor economy opportunities.
The project is due for completion in mid 2025.
This updated manual will be the basis of promotional activities to increase Gulf and outback agritourism experiences, including regional workshops and forums to coach tourism proponents in product development.

We’ve compiled a list of key steps to help you understand what it takes to start a station stay business.
You might also find it helpful to refer to as you navigate through the establishment process.
This list of key steps will help you on your way, but we encourage you to work through the rest of the manual for more detailed information on the establishment process.
Regions Represented
GSD strives to represent all people, businesses, corporations in the Gulf Region, lobbying for greater funding and support from higher government institutions.
