	Subject: URGENT: MCU12/0184 136 Top Forestry Rd Ridgewood - Animal Husbandry type 2 Poultry Farm - W Donald Milligan Pty Ltd". 

	Dear Tony,

	 

	We are concerned Sunshine Coast residents and would like to submit an Objection to the above mentioned development application, MCU12/0184 136 Top Forestry Rd Ridgewood - Animal Husbandry type 2 Poultry Farm - W Donald Milligan Pty Ltd". 

	 

	SUMMARY OF OUR CONCERNS:

	 

	1.     The Proposal to change of material use on farm from low impact rural use to intensive broiler chicken farming. 

	2.     The request to level ridge tops to construct 8 x 100 metre x 16 metre sheds housing 35,000 broiler chickens for a 6 week growing cycle, rearing 1.5 million birds annually. 

	3.     The establishment of 40 x 50,000 litre water tanks 

	4.     Approximately 4-5 semi trailers (including 19 mtre B doubles) per day and other associated vehicles travelling on small sealed and unsealed country roads posing significant dangers and destruction. 

	5.     Cruelty of birds being secured in the sheds with no access to the outdoors to the end of their life. 

	6.     BlackFellows creek and its fragile environment and wildlife, such as the endangered platypus, bearing the brunt of polluted poisonous runoff that will be created particularly during peak rainfall times. 

	7.     The proposal being completely out of scale with the area and the associated burdens it will create for Ridgewood. 

	8.     The associated Noise, Odour, Visual and environmental-water pollution that will be generated by this proposal. 

	9.     The venture is likely to involve fertiliser production and sale yet this is not acknowledged in the proposal. Fertiliser Production is not aligned with existing land use in the area. 

	10.  The Proposal is in conflict with existing plans, including the SEQ Regional Plan 2009-2031 

	11.  Poultry operations are typically 24-hour operations - light pollution and ventilation noise from the sheds will disturb residents for many kilometres. 

	12.  Increased virulence in pathogens, especially in high-intensity poultry farming, causes health issues that can have impacts on a global scale. (H5N1, Bird flu). This development does not address in any way the impact on the local community of an outbreak of such diseases and no disaster management plan is in place. 

	13.  This proposal is clearly not a win-win. It is a win-lose. 

	14.  Threat to businesses in the area that support and rely on principles of sustainability environmental care and environmental beauty 

	15.  Threat to value of properties whose appeal is reliant on the natural beauty and sustainability of Ridgewood. 

	16.	The needs of the majority of residents in Ridgewood who are committed to the initiatives of Council environmental care are being overlooked and disregarded.

	17.  The very quality of lifestyle is at risk for surrounding Ridgewood residents.

	Regards

	Stacey Enchelmaier

	Ridgewood.
