                  Information Required
                  13        Demonstrate how cooking odours from the development’s food outlets, will be
                            controlled in accordance with best management practice and not cause
                            environmental nuisance or impact on the amenity of nearby residents. Provide a
                            report prepared by a suitably qualified person describing appropriate control
                            measures and/or systems to be employed to eliminate or limit the amount of grease,
                            odoriferous components and smoke to an acceptable standard. Control measures
                            that may need to be investigated and discussed could include: dispersion; carbon
                            filtering; scrubbing; high velocity extraction; electrostatic precipitation; ozonation; UV
                            treatment, etc. Odour masking is not considered to be an acceptable method of
                            control.
                            A suitably qualified person is considered to be a Registered Professional
                            Ventilation/Heating Engineer of Queensland with experience and knowledge of
                            odour/grease control systems.


                  Issue – Landscaping
                  Trees planted within the landscaping strips along the western and southern boundaries may
                  assist in managing spill light and cooking odours.
                  Information Required
                  14        Provide comment on whether trees within the landscaping strips would assist in
                            screening spill light and/or dispersing cooking odours from the development.
                            Provide confirmation such screening vegetation would be accepted by the applicant.


                  Issue - Traffic
                  The submitted traffic analysis by TTM indicates that in the 2029 PM peak, the Holts Road /
                  Myall Street intersection will operate with a degree of saturation of 0.396 for the without
                  development scenario, and increasing substantially to 0.835 for the with development
                  scenario.
                  Independent peer review on the intersection analysis, using Sidra Version 7 and the same
                  assumptions used by TTM, indicates an intersection degree of saturation of 0.975 in the
                  2029 PM peak with the development. This significantly exceeds the normal upper limit of
                  acceptable degree of saturation for a give way controlled intersection of 0.80.
                  TTM suggest an option to improve operation of the intersection would be to include a short
                  additional left turn lane on the Holt Road approach to the Myall Street intersection. TTM
                  suggest the development should not be responsible for construction of that lane, but rather
                  it should be the responsibility of future developers of the Taylor Court industrial lots, which
                  is not acceptable.
                  The development as currently proposed may have unacceptable impacts on the State
                  controlled intersection at Holts Road / Myall Street but the Department of Traffic and Main
                  Roads (DTMR) do not have a concurrence role in the assessment.
                  Information Required
                  15        Further detailed traffic analysis clearly demonstrating the development will have
                            acceptable impacts on the Holts Road/Myall Street intersection. Where any works
                            are required to achieve an acceptable performance level at the intersection,
