PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                            10 NOVEMBER 2015


Chicken pick-up days are predicted to occur 5 times during each 63 day cycle (29 days a year).
On these days, trucks are expected to catch-out over a 10 hour period and include 26 heavy
vehicle movements (see Figure 4).




               Figure 4 Total vehicle movements for each day of the batch cycle.

Based on previous compliance with poultry farms, The Department of Agriculture and Fisheries
(DAF) considers noise from the chicken pick-ups could potentially cause environmental nuisance,
and suggests Council could restrict chicken pick-ups to day time only.

It is apparent that the abattoirs in Brisbane run 24 hours a day and earlier catch out is dependant
entirely on their scheduling. Therefore, to address noise concerns along the haul route, a
condition is recommended restricting truck movements to between 6am and 7pm.

D. Identify how unacceptable odour impacts on future residents of 124, 146, 172 and 224
   Top Forestry Road may be addressed;

The applicant has signed an Infrastructure Agreement for a restrictive odour covenant to be
included on the titles of the adjoining properties 124, 146, 172 and 224 Top Forestry Road.
Council’s solicitor has reviewed the terms of the agreement and considers the special conditions
appropriate to restrict the development of a house (or transfer any existing house) within the
unacceptable odour impact area.

E. Provide an Infrastructure Agreement that includes all proposed road works and/or
   maintenance measures to be undertaken to Top Forestry Road to address road, safety,
   amenity and maintenance issues and where appropriate odour measures for 124, 146,
   172 and 224 Top Forestry Road.
An Infrastructure Agreement has been provided for the widening and sealing of Top Forestry
Road, and a restrictive odour covenant on the titles of the adjoining properties at 124, 146, 172
and 224 Top Forestry Road (provided as Attachment 2).
