Dear Madam,

Re: Development Application for Material Change of Use (MCU12/0184)

(Animal Husbandry Type 2) — Poultry Farm
Environmentally Relevant Activity (ERA12/0087)

Lot 21 on SP226606 - 136 Top Forestry Road, Ridgewood
Applicant: W Donald Milligan Pty Ltd.

| refer to the above-mentioned matter and your telephone conversation with Max
Watterson this morning and provide the following information to clarify the issues of
the proposal.

Maximum Number of Birds

The total area of the 8 sheds is 13,695m?. The industry standard is 18.45 birds per
m?; however | have recently accepted Inghams agreement to carry out the operation
in accordance with the RSPCA standards of 17.2 birds per m?.

Therefore the total number of birds possible at the site is 235,554.

Over the growth cycle of the batch of birds we have allowed a mortality rate of 3%:
that is 7,067 birds. Therefore the total number of birds possible to reach maturity is
228,487 (say 228,500 birds).

Number of Trucks During Bird Pick-Up

Generally the initial bird pick-up is approximately 40% of the birds; that is 91,400.
The birds are collected in trucks that carry 6,480 birds each.

Therefore the initial bird collection is 14.1 trucks; that is 14 trucks or 28 trips.

The remaining birds are collected in 2 or 3 batches; therefore the number of birds
collected in this period is 137,100. The birds are collected in trucks that carry 3,960
birds; that is 34.6 trucks; that is 35 trucks or 70 trips.

The maximum number of trucks able to be loaded each day is 12 per day; that is 24
trips.

For your reference please find attached information supplied by the Queensland
Farming Manager of Inghams regarding the number of birds on each truck; together
