I am writing to say NO to the proposed chicken factory on Top Forestry Road Cooroy. This is not a farm it is definitely a factory with lots of huge trucks coming and going along narrow roads. It is not sustainable as chickens are coming from afar and returning to afar so all this would be doing is polluting the area with dust from vehicles and dust from dry faecal matter (that contains bacteria, endotoxins and fungi) which would blow for kilometres contaminating peoples water tanks (their drinking water!). If people surrounding the 3 or so klm. area have lung problems, sinus problems the dust would really effect their health. The dust and pollutants from the dried faecal matter would effect the health of a healthy person.
People 3 klm or so would also have noise day and night from machinery and huge trucks coming and going day and night AND not to mention odour, the smell of this amount of chickens and their faecies would be disgusting and there would be dead birds also.
There will be so much polluting of Black Fellow Creek with the run off from faecal matter, dust. There is the endangered Giant Barred frog and Tusked frog in Black Fellow Creek and this also runs through other properties that care about the waterways and the environment and their neighbours.
This factory certainly does NOT fit into a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Note the key words for the Noosa Biosphere: - Harmony (balanced, considerate & tolerant ways of living) - this factory is not balanced and most definitely not considerate. Education (openness, curiosity, willingness to share) - I don't think there has been any openness in this application. Conservation (caring for our wildlife, bushlands, waterways and cultural heritage) - the factory does not care about the wildlife living in and around the waterways - being Blackfellow Creek. and Sustainable activities (our jobs, business & lifestyle do not cost us the earth) - seems to me that this factory is costing a lot of Cooroy residents the earth, jobs - there will not be many local jobs at all at this factory.
I will also put that this factory farming is unethical.
I do not know why Noosa Council gave Mr Milligan so much extra time to put in a changed application when hardly anything in the 'changed' application is changed.
This should NOT go through!
