OPR SNOWY HYDRO LIMITED CTC TEL 0438 370 828
SFC TO UNL

Fly-ins don't happen every day at Farmer Brown's Farm. Why would anyone need to promulgate a NOTAM every day for a fly-in BBQ at Farmer Brown's Farm?

Every Farmer Brown's Farm out there is some distance and direction from something identified on some chart that Airservices cares about.

Couldn't you just do what every other sentient being on the planet seems to be able to do, and tell Airservices that some 'intense aviation activity' is going to happen at a specified latitude and longitude and direction and bearing from a 'real' aviation thing, between specified times on specified dates?
