Dear Mayor Jamieson

I am writing to protest against the proposed broiler farm on Top 
Forestry Road, Cooroy, and request you to oppose it.

The developer could not wait for Noosa Council to approve this 
proposal; he knew it would not get past because it violates 
everything that Noosa stands for.

Apart from the environmental impact, which is likely to be great, 
this project poses an immediate health risk, given that neighbouring 
properties all rely on tank water for both domestic use. Broiler 
farms clearly emit large amounts of toxic dust. There has been no 
analysis of the articulate matter emitted from the sheds or fallout 
impact on rainwater collection by district properties.

In addition, the large increase in heavy vehicles travelling on 
narrow roads (Belli Crek Road) and dirt roads (Top Forestry Road) 
create an immediate danger. There have been several fatal accidents 
already on this road in the last year or so.

It is totally unfair to give approval for such a farm, given that it 
clearly violates the health of residents for a radius of several 
kilometers and the likely intentions of the Noosa Council.

To then burden Cooroy ratepayers and the Noosa Council with the 
responsibility for dealing with the health issue created by a 
proposal that they vehemently oppose is totally inappropriate action 
for the Sunshine Coast Council.

I trust you will join your own expert planning staff in rejecting 
this application.

Yours  sincerely

Judy Bowey
