Proposed Development

RE: Application #MCU21/0154

Dear Wilhelm Koschade,

We are writing in response to the recent notification we received for the proposed
development of a small-scale meat processing plant on the premises of 82 Patterson Drive,
Tinbeerwah.

We wish to strongly object to this proposal going ahead for the following reasons:

   •   Such a facility is not in keeping with the expected activities that should occur within
       a residential neighbourhood.
   •   As a result, property values are likely to be adversely affected by the establishment
       of such a facility.
   •   This facility was installed without council approval showing a disregard for the
       proper council planning processes and procedures. This raises the concern that the
       facility will not be limited to the activities specified in the current proposal.
   •   Such a development would set a precedent for the establishment of similar facilities
       throughout the rest of the neighbourhood.
   •   This neighbourhood is zoned semi-rural residential, not light industrial.
   •   The transportation of large carcasses through the neighbourhood will detract from
       the beauty and feel of the neighbourhood.
   •   Meat processing equipment is likely to increase noise levels in the vicinity to a level
       that is not acceptable for a residential neighbourhood.
   •   Smell and the attraction of pests and vermin is also likely to be of concern.
   •   Runoff water from the meat processing facility could be detrimental to the
       cleanliness of local water courses and as a result may negatively impact local
       ecosystems. A full environmental report should be obtained to address any concerns
       with respect to this issue.

We thank you for taking the time to consider our objections and trust that in light of the
extensive objections raised by the local community that this development not be given
approval to go ahead. Further, due to lack of council approval for the current facility, that
this facility be dismantled as soon as possible and all meat processing activities at this
premises be ceased.

Kind Regards,

Phillip and Kelly Paul
Kingsgate Drive, Tinbeerwah
