Biographical history
The Association's history dates back to the formation of the New South Wales Oyster Farmers’ Association in 1928. Subsequent entities included the North Coast Oyster Farmers’ Association; the Australian Oyster Farmers’ and Processors’ Association, 1980-1987; and the Oyster Farmers’ Association of Australia, 1987-1990. In 1990 the OFAA changed its name to the Oyster Farmers’ Association of New South Wales to emphasise the oyster-farming industry of NSW. At its maximum extent the OFA (NSW) encompassed thirteen geographical branches, based on regions of coastal NSW, and a single branch representing oyster processors regardless of location. The OFA (NSW) dissolved on 2 December 2005. Some of its functions were effectively taken over by the NSW Farmers Association Oyster Committee.
