Are houses proposed to be located approximately 750m from a nearby poultry farm in relation to the Stage 2 development application at Ginnindery; if so, is there safe distance legislation in the ACT; if there is no safe distance legislation, why not.
Mr Gentleman: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
Residential development is not permitted within 750m of the Parkwood Egg Farm and Stage 2 of the Ginninderry is located more than 1500m away from the egg farm. This 750m clearance was recommended by the Environment Protection Authority and is included in the West Belconnen Concept Plan.
The Separation Distance Guidelines for Air Emissions (November 2018) provides recommended separation distances between land uses that emit odour, dust and other forms of air emissions and sensitive land uses. In accordance with Appendix 1. Recommended Separation Distances for Airborne Emissions of the Guideline, it recommends a separation distance to poultry farms (keeping of poultry involving an enclosed shed area exceeding 1,000 square metres) of 750m.
