Pet-meat abattoir turned down
Bunny Lodge, Ltd, has been refused permission to build an abattoir at the site of its boarding kennels at the junction of Weedons and Jones Roads in Weedons.
Referring to a report of the Paparua County Council’s town planning committee, which held a hearing on November 30, the council said that it was not satisfied that the applicant could not build the abattoir in the appropriate industrial zone.
To grant the application would have a detrimental effect on residents for some distance around the site of the application and would create a precedent for other applications, the council said. Bunny Lodge had earlier applied for a specified departure to the rural zoning to erect the abattoir. It planned to supply meat to its boarding kennels and establish a pet-meat shop in Radley Street, Woolston.
Objectors to the abattoir included parents in the area, who threatened to withdraw their children from the local school if they had to walk past an abattoir that was killing livestock for pet meat.
