small refrigerated van. Due to the changes as requested by the applicant, it is recommended to
change conditions 7 & 18.
The assessment concludes that the extension of the approval is warranted as while Council has
received complaints about the home based business, the issues raised by complainants are not
substantiated and do not reasonably constitute a noise or light nuisance. The proposed changes
to conditions 5 and 14 remain within the parameters set by the Home-based business Code, with
harvesting of deer still to occur a maximum of 1 evening a week.
The application is therefore recommended for approval.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Development Planner Lisa Pienaar to the General Meeting
dated 12 December 2022 regarding Application No. MCU21/0154.02 for a minor change to the
development approval for a Home-based business (Small Scale Meat Processing) situated at 82
Patterson Drive, Tinbeerwah and:
A.     Approve the application and agree to change conditions 5, 7, 14 and 18 as follows:
       5.     The facility is not permitted to process more than ten (10) carcasses per week,
              with harvesting to occur a maximum of one evening a week.
       7.     Meat processing must not occur outside the hours of 8:00am to 5:00pm
              Monday to Friday, with a maximum of 2 deliveries from the site permitted on
              Saturday and Sunday and public holidays.
       14.    No commercial deliveries or collections are permitted on site, other than 1
              collection per week, made between Monday to Friday 9am to 4pm via a small,
              refrigerated van.
       18.    To minimise the potential impacts of the operator’s vehicle and refrigerated
              trailer returning to and departing from the site, the operator must:
              a.    Dim vehicle lights at night time when departing and returning to the site (if
                    safe and practical to do so).
              b.    Keep mechanical equipment associated with the refrigeration and
                    cooling of the trailer turned off until the vehicle has left the subject site.
              c.    Only deliver harvested animals to the site a maximum of 1 day per week.
B.     Amend condition 21 to read:
       This permit lapses on 17 December 2024 unless written consent is provided by
       Council to extend the approval. In assessing an extension, Council will have regard
       to any complaints received from nearby residents concerning breaches of the
       development approval conditions, and any other relevant matters.
C.     Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
