Dear Sean,

 

Please refer to Cabonne Food Activity Report that has been submitted to
the Food Authority for the last Financial Year, this should cover most of
you  inquiry in relation to this matter.

 

As for the other matters, I refer you to our recent Regional State of
Environment Report which will cover the majority of questions in relation
to the other matters.
(https://www.cabonne.nsw.gov.au/Environme...)

 

Please note that Cabonne Shire Council covers approximately 6000 sq. Kms,
however we are a relatively small regional council with a  population of
approximately 14,000 people.

 

As such, unlike our larger City Council cousins, we may not have specific
details or statistics on some of the type of information you are
requesting due to our resources covering such a large area.

 

Hope this is of assistance.

 

Regards
