               The results of the modelling indicate that the cumulative impact of the litter
               stockpiling and the proposed eight shed poultry farm can comply with the
               relevant odour amenity criterion subject to the implementation of best-practice
               farm management practices.



               The quantitative odour impacts of spreading spent litter across the footprint of the

               existing avocado farm.

               The site has operated as an avocado orchard for over 15 years and prior to
               that       as   a        range of fruit orchards.                              Fertiliser   application   is   an   integral
               component of the existing use and advice from the proponent is the manures
               have previously been    applied at the site without generating any significant
               odour nuisance.   Imported manure-based fertiliser may continue to be used at
               the site but the primary driver for moving away from the use of manures was
               the relative cost of this fertiliser.
