MCU12/0184 Submission - Noel Tolson & Robyn Sanderson
To all councillors,
Noosa council

Please accept my objection to the proposed Top Forestry Rd. Broiler Farm. MCU 12/0104
As a nearby resident, within sight of this property since 1987, I think this development is
inappropriate for this area for the following reasons.
The topography which includes all of West Coo roy is too steep and the accessability via the
winding roads with sharp bends all the way from the highway via Cooroy is hazardous,
especially on Top Forestry Rd which can be dusty when dry and slippery when wet. This was
a problem for most residents when the Forestry was harvesting. With the anticipated
increase of heavy traffic Top Forestry Rd will require more frequent maintenance. Who will
be responsible and who will cover the cost?
Depending on atmospheric conditions, espescially in dry times dust from both the road
surface and farm operation could be a serious health problem for our tank water supplies. It
will also seriuosly impact on asthmatic sufferers. In the past we have unwillingly accepted
the fact of spray drift from this property and any dust from the chicken sheds will
exascerbate our problems. The drift occurs during periods of "apparent" still air and
temperature inversions which are common in this area, also when westerly drift occurs.
I conclude that it would be more appropriate and considerate of the developer to locate
such an operation on flatter land with less hazardous road acccess closer to stock feed
supplies and the processors, and further from neighbouring residents, not here!
