The South Burnett has more piggery licences than actual piggeries (Photo: Australian Pork Limited)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

November 8, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Burnett Regional Council’s new rating categories for piggeries will now only apply to active piggeries after Council staff discovered there are fewer in the region than previously thought. <\/p>\n

The SBRC introduced four new piggery categories in this year’s Budget with an eye to possibly introducing a higher rate for piggeries at some point in the future.<\/p>\n

However, when Council sent out letters to advise properties that held piggery licences there would be no financial affect on them in 2023-24, staff discovered that not all properties approved to operate a piggery actually have one.<\/p>\n

At Wednesday’s Liveability standing committee meeting, Councillors were told a number of property owners who received the letters had contacted Council in protest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They told staff that while they may have once operated a piggery, they no longer did so.<\/p>\n

However, they were reluctant to cancel their licence because of the difficulty of obtaining a new one and the extra value a licence could add to a property’s sale, so they had elected to suspend their licence instead.<\/p>\n

Councillors were told that in light of this, staff had recommended properties with suspended piggery licences should continue to be rated as rural.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, the status of all the region’s piggery licences will now be reviewed annually using data provided by the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, and any properties that reactivated a suspended licence would be automatically reclassified from rural to one of the new piggery categories. <\/p>\n

Councillors agreed to this proposal unanimously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
