       1.4         PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT

       It is proposed to construct eight (8) poultry growing sheds on the subject site.
       The poultry sheds are proposed to be 100 to 130 metres long by 16.0 to 16.5
       metres   wide       aligned along   the    ridgelines through   the site.   Necessary
       earthworks to supplement the existing terracing will be undertaken to provide
       level pads for the sheds and service roadways.


       The locations of the proposed poultry sheds on the subject site are shown on
       Figure 3.

       Based upon typical stocking densities, the proposed sheds will have the
       capacity to be stocked with 29,600 to 38,480 birds per shed with numbers
       thinned at stages during the batch          cycle. On the basis that all sheds are
       stocked at the same time, the potential number of birds within the farm is in
       the order of 250,000 birds.


       The spent litter removed from the poultry sheds at the completion of each
       batch is proposed to be stockpiled within two bunded areas as shown on
       Callaghan & Toth Plan 01 Rev 0 Page 9 (September 2013) (refer
       Attachment 1) and are generally described as follows:


                   Northern Stockpile Area (adjacent Shed 5)

                   300 lineal metres of stockpile within a 120m x 22.5m bunded area

                   76 lineal metres of reserve stockpile within a 82m x 14m bunded
                   area




                   Southern Stockpile Area (adjacent Shed 3)

                   110 lineal metres of stockpile within a 75m x 19m bunded area
