A better planned example of an 8-shed broiler farm.
There will be severe visual disturbance to the ruaral surrounds from the siting of buildings on ridge-lines. Even with proposed tree planting and landscaping, this ridge-top development is going to be an eyesore for years to come. In our opinion the area is totally unsuitable for operations of this size and nature, particularly in relation to the roads in the immediate area.
When broiler sheds are placed in more remote locations, on flat land, and with easy access to main roads that don’t carry lots of traffic, and away from popular tourist destinations, they are a more economic proposition and not as disruptive.
The operation of a battery chicken farm in rural Cooroy is completely at odds with the sustainable vision of the Noosa Biosphere. – The whole operation will not fit within Noosa’s green image.
