3.   Development authorised by this approval must be undertaken generally in accordance with
     the Approved Plans listed within this Decision Notice.
     Nature and Extent of Approved Use
4.   The maximum number of chickens on-site at any one time shall not exceed 230,000 birds.
     A register is to be kept on site at all times detailing the number of chickens in each shed,
     which is to be available for inspection by Council officers upon written request.
5.   Spent litter and poultry manure must not be stored, stockpiled or spread on the site at any
     time.
     Performance Bond
6.   Security in the form of a cash bond or trading bank guarantee to the sum of $50,000 must
     be submitted to Council, to secure performance of all conditions of this approval, prior to
     the issue of a Development Permit for Operational Works. The cash bond or trading bank
     guarantee will be returned on performance of the conditions of approval less any costs
     incurred by Council in respect of enforcing performance of this permit. Council reserves
     the right to call upon the bond or guaranteed sum to effect compliance with conditions.
     Building Appearance
7.   All sheds and associated structures must be finished with subdued external building
     colours, so as to blend in with the surrounding landscape. Detailed building plans,
     elevations and colours of the structures shall be submitted and approved by Council prior
     to the issue of a Development Permit for Operational Works.
     Landscaping Works
8.   Dense screening vegetation shall be established around the sheds and associated
     structures in accordance with Council’s Policy on Landscaping Guidelines and a properly
     prepared landscape plan.       Such landscaping is to be completed prior to the
     commencement of the use and maintained at all times thereafter. The Landscape Plan
     shall include at a minimum:
     a.   20m wide landscaping strip along the perimeters of each shed and associated
          structures, with appropriate plantings along the batters.
     b.   Retention of existing mature trees, where practicable.
     c.   Appropriately selected tree species and understorey plantings to achieve dense
          visual screening of the sheds and having regard to the soil conditions. Trees included
          shall be able to achieve a minimum 15m in mature height, though inclusion of fast
          growing species is also desirable to achieve early visual screening.
     A development application for Operational Works shall be required in this regard.
9.   All landscape works must be established and maintained in accordance with the approved
     design for the life of the development, and in a manner that ensures healthy, sustained and
     vigorous plant growth. All plant material must be allowed to grow to full form and be
     refurbished when its life expectancy is reached.
