             Wireless Base Station at Schreibers 321 Coles Creek Road, COORAN QLD 4569


Introduction:                                                  Date 21/3/2013                                 NSA Site No (4569002)

This report summarises the estimated maximum cumulative radiofrequency (RF)electromagnetic energy (EME)levels at
ground level emitted from the existing wireless base station antennas at Schreibers 321 Coles Creek Road COORAN QLD
4569. Maximum EME levels are estimated in 3600 circular bands out to 500m from the base station. The procedures for
making the estimates have been developed by the Australian Radiation Protection And Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA)1.
These are documented in the ARPANSA Technical Report; "Radio Frequency EME Exposure Levels                         -
                                                                                                                       Prediction

EME Health Standard

ARPANSA, an Australian Government agency in the Health and Ageing portfolio has established a Radiation Protection
Standard2 specifying limits for continuous exposure of the general public to RF transmissions at frequencies used by wireless
base stations. Further information can be gained from the ARPANSA web site.


The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA)3mandates exposure limits for continuous exposure of the
general public to RF EME from wireless base stations. Further information can be found at the ACMA website
http://emr.acma.gov.au

Note: Estimation for the maximum level of RF EME at 1.5m above the ground from the existing and proposed antennas assuming level
ground. The estimated levels have been calculated on the maximum mobile phone call and data capacity anticipated for this site. This
estimation does not indude possible radio signal attenuation due to buildings and the general environment. The actual EME levels will
generally be significantly less than predicted due to path losses and the base station automatically minimising transmitter power to only serve
established phone calls and data transmissionss. Where applicable, particular locations of interest in the area surrounding the base station,
including topographical variations, are assessed in Appendix A "Other areas of Interest" table on the last page.
