牛农敦促贝加议会停止对农场附近的279公土地进行重新划分, Cattle farmers urge Bega Council to stop rezoning 279 hectares near saleyards for 2,200 homes, citing biosecurity risks and economic impact.

澳大利亚南部海岸的养牛户和工业利益有关者敦促贝加河谷Shire理事会停止在贝加销售场附近将279公顷土地重新划为2,200户人家的计划,并警告这一举动威胁到该设施的未来。 Cattle farmers and industry stakeholders on Australia’s South Coast are urging the Bega Valley Shire Council to halt plans to rezone 279 hectares near the Bega saleyards for up to 2,200 homes, warning the move threatens the facility’s future. 在邻近的销售场关闭后,他们说Bega的场地对小规模生产者和区域经济至关重要,估计每年贡献2 500万美元。 With nearby saleyards closed, they say Bega’s site is vital for small-scale producers and the regional economy, contributing an estimated $25 million annually. 令人关切的问题包括住房和牲畜作业之间20米的缓冲不够充分,增加了生物安保风险,如疾病传播和气味问题。 Concerns include inadequate 20-meter buffers between housing and livestock operations, raising biosecurity risks like disease transmission and odor issues. 产业成员认为,搬迁费用昂贵,不切实际,理由是现有的基础设施和缺乏可行的替代办法。 Industry members argue relocation would be costly and impractical, citing existing infrastructure and the lack of viable alternatives. Bega Beef合作社的请愿书支持将销售场保留在现有地点。 A petition by the Bega Beef Co-operative supports preserving the saleyards in their current location.
