Looking for for guidance...

I'm removing a load bearing wall and need to install a 203x203x46 column where a joist falls. There is a connection detail to the beam, so difficult to move it.

Can I trim the central joist to remove the blue section?
The joist that I need to the trim is a bolted double joist (97mm wide x 200mm deep).
Joist to the left is also a double joist (97mm wide x 200mm deep) and the joist to the right is a single (47mm wide x 200mm deep).
Distance along the red line is 788mm…..

Thank you.

Have also realised the double joist i need to cut is partially supported on a load bearing wall about 1m away, so I'll double up joists to trim.
