Petition tabled at Ordinary Council Meeting

By Dominique Tassell

A petition in relation to a Material Change of Use Application in Mt Marshall was tabled at the recent Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) Ordinary Council Meeting.

SDRC received the attached Petition objecting to the Material Change of Use Application MCU\02334 for Intensive Animal Industry (Sheep and Cattle Feedlot – 1000 SCU and or 6000 SSU), McDonnell Road and Glengallan Road, Mt Marshall.

It was stated in the agenda item that the petition has been referred to the Manager of Planning and Development, and will be considered as a submission in a future report to Council in relation to this Application.

The petition was signed by 28 people.

Cr Marco Gliori requested forward notice of the motion when it comes back to an Ordinary Council Meeting. He said they may also want to inspect the site prior to this.

Mayor Vic Pennisi said he had already requested this.

A staff member stated they had spoken to the owners the day prior and given them notice that councillors may want to visit the site, which they were open to.

The motion was moved by Cr Gliori, seconded by Cr Andrew Gale.
