                                    Figure 3 Haul Route options.

The alternative options are not considered a viable and/or reasonable alternatives for the
following reasons:

Alternative Haul Route Options     Comments
Skyring Creek Rd route              Additional 19km of travel each way;
                                    Includes a section of winding, one-lane roadway with steeper
                                      graded sections;
                                    Likely to require additional upgrades to the road network.
Old Ceylon Rd route                 Includes a 3km section of winding, one-lane unsealed roadway
                                      with steep graded sections of a lesser standard to Top Forestry
                                      Road;
                                    Likely to require additional upgrades to the road network.

Council’s consultant (Beard Traffic Engineering) agrees with the applicant’s assessment and
considers the proposed haul route the most appropriate.

C. Confirm whether chicken pick-up times can be limited to day time only (6am to 7pm);

The applicant indicates the meat chicken provider (Inghams) will endeavour to limit pick-up times
to day time only (6am to 7pm), however, there may be times when pick-up will need to occur
outside this period.

     “Inghams can, and will always try to work in for 6am, however if birds are required earlier,
     they would need to schedule earlier”. (Quote from an Ingham’s representative speaking to
     Councillors at a site inspection at a poultry farm in Beaudesert, September 2014).
