The Bunya Mountains area in South East Queensland is under threat of yet another intensive farming development (cattle feedlot).
The area cannot sustain the heavy water usage from these types of industries.
The roads within the Maidenwell area are not suitable or safe for the heavy vehicles.
With the applicant living in Wamuran - this means that their will be an increase in heavy traffic through Maidenwell/Nanango/Yarraman/Blackbutt due to waste being removed from the feedlot. grain being brought in and cattle movements.
This will be the 3rd feedlot to be situated in the foothills of the Bunya Mountains near Maidenwell - residents do not want it here!
The problems from the existing feedlots will only be amplified by yet another development.
This development is to be situated along Barkers Creek which flows through the entire South Burnett Shire and ends up in Bjelke-Petersen Dam.
Please sign our petition and assist us to let Council know that this development is not wanted.
I was just looking at the map again and honestly it makes me sick thinking about Barkers Creek being put at risk like this because the council really does not seem to get how much damage another feedlot will do to our water and roads. I have been answering emails all morning from neighbors who are just as worried as I am so thank you for sticking with me while I try to organize all these thoughts into something that might actually get noticed.

I was just looking at the map again and honestly my head is spinning because so many people are finally paying attention to what is happening near the Bunya Mountains. It feels like the tide is turning and maybe the council will actually have to listen to us for once because I know how much those roads are already struggling under the weight of current traffic.

Three is way too many. Our local council needs to actually listen to the people who live here instead of these developers.

Enough is enough. My kids play near that road and it is already dangerous with all the heavy haulage.

Keep our creek clean! The dam is for the community not for toxic runoff from more feedlots.

Too many trucks on these country roads already. It is a disaster waiting to happen for us locals.

The Bunya Mountains are for nature not for industrial cattle factories. Our water and roads are already struggling enough. Please stop this

MAIDENWELL IS NOT A DUMPING GROUND FOR THE CITY BUSINESSES. NO MORE FEEDLOTS.
