that may significantly limit the ability to establish and use a dwelling whether the land is identified in the planning scheme as being subject or susceptible to flooding (both river and coastal inundation), landslip or any other form of hazard that may limit the ability to establish and use a dwelling. However, the remaining land does not need to be capable of providing a building envelope if the land covered by the minimum separation distance requirement is equally unacceptable in terms of providing the building envelope having regard to the siting considerations listed above. Special and Farm Clusters – There are no approved measures for Special Class and Farm Clusters under Standard E1 S5. These broiler farm applications must be assessed against this standard on a case-by-case basis using the information produced by the Odour ERA (see the ‘Odour Environmental Risk Assessment (Odour ERA)’ section of this Code). Note: Appendix 1 provides a summary of setback measures to meet the Code’s objectives and standards, and a diagrammatic example of separation distances and some setbacks.

Element 1: Location, siting and size Through the provision of appropriate setback and separation distances, do the location and size of the broiler farm and the siting of the broiler sheds, temporary litter stockpiles, compost piles and litter spreading areas: minimise the risk of adverse amenity impacts on nearby existing, planned and potential future sensitive uses as a result of odour, dust and noise? not adversely affect the use and development of nearby land? pollution of ground and surface waters? avoid adverse impacts on the visual quality of the landscape? minimise biosecurity Element 2: Farm design, layout and construction Is the broiler farm development designed and constructed to minimise the risk of adverse off-site impacts and support the cost-effective operational efficiency of the farm? Element 3: Traffic, site access, on-farm roads and parking Do the location, design and construction of farm access points, internal roads and parking areas support the safe and efficient entry and exit to the site, movement of vehicles and operation of the farm? Do the location, design and construction of farm access points, internal roads and parking areas minimise noise and lighting impacts? Element 4: Landscaping Is landscaping used to minimise the visual impact of broiler sheds and litter storage areas, reduce the risk of light and dust impacts on nearby sensitive uses, and protect, manage and enhance on-farm native vegetation and biodiversity?
