Cargill Beef in Wagga Wagga has to introduce a $13 million wastewater treatment system and cut its killing capacity after its sewer treatment system failed last year.
The pollution improvement works will result in almost a 20 per cent cut in the abattoir's daily kill.
Cargill had approval to kill 2,000 head of cattle a day but that has been reduced to a maximum of 1,600 head by Planning New South Wales.
The department has granted Cargill approval to do works to reduce odours and improve wastewater quality by building a new wastewater treatment system.
There are 104 conditions of approval for the $13 million upgrade.
Cargill says the Planning Department directive does not affect jobs because it is killing only 1,250 head of cattle a day.
The deputy director general of the Planning Department, Richard Pearson, says there has been a history of odour complaints about the Bomen meat processor.
"There have over the years been ongoing issues raised in relation to the odour impacts of the abattoir and in relation to water quality," he said.
"It came to a bit of a head in 2009 last year when there was a failure at their sewer treatment system."
Mr Pearson says the new system is a win for Cargill's neighbours.
"It is important that businesses such as this manage their impacts effectively," he said.
"Odour is a particular issue for people who surround these kinds of developments so I think this will be a good outcome for those people as well."

Smell like roses!
What if on a date the girl starts ignoring you when she meets you? Is it that she doesn’t like your face, dressing sense or body odour? Many times one often ignores the problems body odour causes — it can be a big turn off.
After Hrs talks to experts and celebs on dealing with this.
Dermatologist Dr Rohini Wadhwani says, “Body odour is caused by various reasons like poor hygiene, genetics, medication, heavy physical activity, pungent food (garlic and other spices), certain medication, stress, hormonal problems, alcohol and tobacco abuse or even dental problems. A good tip is to use a baby powder or anti-bacterial powder after bath, especially under the arms.
Remove, shave or wax underarm hair off to reduce body odour.Deodorants contain anti-bacterial agents that kill the bacteria which give rise to body odour, as against anti-perspirants which block pores. One may use tea tree oil or rose water in your bath water as their lingering fragrance takes care of the odour. Also remember to wear clean undergarments.”
Skin expert Dr Sunita Dube, says, “Body odour is considered an offensive smell, given off by most adults who are sweating. It is often perceived as a sign of poor personal hygiene that can be unattractive to theopposite sex. It can have disastrous consequences, like ruining your professional image with a client. Since men sweat more than women, they are the worst affected. I feel body odour can arise to poor hygiene or a genetic disorder. I had a patient aged 32, who had severe bad odour with an
excessive ‘fishy’ smell coming from her body. It became more prominent since adulthood and she was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder called trimethylaminuria, or ‘fish odour syndrome,’ that causes a patient to produce a fish-like odour, not only in a person’s breath, but also in sweat and urine. So it can be genetic too hence it’s necessary to consult a doctor and seek guidance in such cases.”
Actor Kim Sharma says, “Bad body odour is always a turn off, it is a situation where you can’t even tell the person about it and simply walking out in the a middle of a conversation with that person would be rude.”
For actor Koena Mitra body odour is a turn off. She advises, “Carry a deodorant to keep yourself fresh. Also be conscious as people tend to form an image about the person and the game of avoiding starts from day one when the situation arises.”
