PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                16 September 2014

                                                                              ATTACHMENT 1

        ORDINARY MEETING UPDATED REPORT                        12 DECEMBER 2013
             undertaken by the poultry farm operator and not council. Further, the proposed
             improvements are not adequate to cater for the number of heavy vehicle movements
             likely to be generated and no Infrastructure Agreement has been provided by the
              applicant.
           « No additional stormwater details have been provided to demonstrate that the water
              Quality of nearby creeks will not be adversely impacted upon. Notwithstanding this it
             is considered that this specific matter could be addressed by suitable conditions.
        It is concluded that the additional information provided by the applicant does not satisfactorily
        address officers concerns with the proposed poultry farm and therefore officers confirm their

        OFFICER RECOMMENDATION
        That Council Refuse Application No. MCU12/0184 for a Development Permit for
        Material Change of Use for Animal Husbandry Type 2 — Intensive (Poultry Farm) and
         Environmentally Relevant Activity (ERA 4 - Poultry Farming), situated at 136 Top
        Forestry Rd, Ridgewood for the following reasons:
                 i. the proposed poultry farm does not comply with the Overall Outcomes
                   of The Noosa Plan's Mary River Catchment Locality, Agricultural Uses
                   and Transport, Roads and Drainage Codes
                 li. the proposed poultry farm does not achieve sufficient separation
                   distance from surrounding residents so as to avoid adverse odour
                   impacts on residents’ amenity, with insufficient details provided on the
                   emissions from manure stockpiles, manure spreading, and for one of the
                    closest sensitive receiver locations
                iii. the proposal will have unacceptable impacts on the safety of Top
                    Forestry Road and the proposed road improvements are not sufficient to
                   provide the necessary safe environment
                iv. traffic generated by the development proposed will have significant
                   adverse impacts on the amenity of residents, given Top Forestry Road is
                   unsealed and bird collection is likely to be through the night and
                 v. The proposed sheds and earthworks necessary for shed construction is
                   likely to adversely impact on the scenic amenity of the area, as the
                   applicant has not demonstrated that they will integrate satisfactorily with
                   the landform and landscape.

         FINANCE AND RESOURCING
         If council were to approve this development, the applicant would be required to pay
         infrastructure charges for trunk infrastructure.
        Council's Infrastructure Policy Branch has provided the following estimate of the
         infrastructure charges required by this development:
