Byron Shire is in New South Wales, but the size isn't jiving. Perhaps the article got the size wrong. PR says 60 acres. Article says the facility is roughly 1 acres in size and that it will use less than 1 tenth the space which would make it about 10 acres.
Plus the pr said they would use about 4 of the 60 aces initially. We'll get clarification soon.

The proposed facility would be approximately 3,440 square metres, of which around half would be used for actual growing, with the rest devoted to drying, processing, a nursery, storage and administration. It would cover less than 10 per cent of the site and would use town water for cropping, owing to the highly controlled nature of the cultivation.
