ALERT FOR PROPERTIES IN PATTERSON DRIVE, MACKAY COURT & WALLABY
LANE

An application has been put to Noosa Council for a “Small Scale Meat
Processing Plant” to be approved at 82 Patterson Drive, Tinbeerwah

As residents of this lovely rural residential neighborhood, you may wish to
follow up or track this application with Noosa Council using the reference

number MCU21/0154.

The applicants will be required to place a notice on the front of the property at
82 Patterson Drive in order to notify residents. Council are obliged to take note
of, and respond to, any objections which go through this formal process.

Being local residents we will strongly object to this application for a Small
Scale Meat Processing Plant in a Rural Residential Zone for numerous reasons,
including:

e the application is incompatible with Noosa Plan 2020 which states only
“non-residential activities ... compatible with and do not impact on the
rural residential character and amenity of the zone”

e inappropriate activity within identified Koala Habitat area

e conversion of a 52 square metre shed into a sophisticated meat
processing plant which entails hanging and inspection of carcasses,
cutting of carcasses, preparation of hide, bone and meat, packaging and
cold storage

e requiring refrigerated transport to and from the property along local
street, Patterson Drive

¢ environmental impact due to odors, noise, waste products, and
increased traffic

e additional future impact as applicant’s business plan includes “a line of

readymade meals, pastries and sausages to go alongside .. wild venison”
We trust you will take the time to look at this application and notify
council of any objections.
