Definitions Advice agencies – Defined in the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 as an entity prescribed under a regulation as an advice agency for the application, or if the functions of the entity in relation to the application have been devolved or delegated to another entity - the other entity. Assessment manager – The agency responsible for deciding if a planning application has been properly made, issuing acknowledgment notices, determining the referral agencies that require input into the application assessment and determining whether the application is successful through an assessment of the environmental impact of proposals against the provisions of the EP Act and relevant industry guidelines. AUSPLUME – EPA Victoria regulatory Gaussian dispersion model. Best Practice Environmental Management (BPEM) – The underlining philosophy of BPEM is the adoption of management practices that reflect the best information and technologies presently available. The best management practices continually change as new information and research demonstrates improved methods. Hence, BPEM encourages continual improvement. Buffer zone – The distance between the meat chicken farm complex and relevant features and/or the distance between the utilisation area and relevant features (refer Appendix 1). Bund – Watertight wall designed to prevent liquid escaping or entering as a result of seepage or leaks. CALPUFF – Air quality dispersion model (American). Centroid – A centroid is a point 25 m out from the exhaust end of a tunnel ventilated meat chicken shed, assuming that 90 per cent or more of the total emissions from the shed are discharged by fans and the shed is operated only as a fan-forced tunnel shed. Each shed will have its own centroid for the purposes of calculating separation and buffer zone distances. Where it cannot be demonstrated that 90 per cent of the emissions will be discharged from fans in sheds operated as fan-forced tunnel sheds, the centroid concept is not applicable. Community amenity – A fact or condition being agreeable to the community. Concurrence agencies – Defined in the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 as an entity prescribed under a regulation as a concurrence agency for the application, or if the functions of the entity in relation to the application have been devolved or delegated to another entity - the other entity. Contaminant – Defined in the Environmental Protection Act 1994 as: a gas, liquid or solid an odour an organism (whether alive or dead), including a virus energy, including noise, heat, radioactivity and electromagnetic radiation a combination of contaminants. Contamination – Defined in the Environmental Protection Act 1994 as the release (whether by act or omission) of a contaminant into the environment. Controlled drainage area – An area that collects contaminated stormwater run-off and excludes clean rainfall run-off. Queensland Guidelines Meat Chicken Farms 39
