Table 6-1 Assessment of Viewpoint 1: View from Tablelands Road
 Description of the    This view shows an unsealed road providing access to the proposal site from Tablelands Road. The
 view                  site and neighbouring property are surrounded by mature bushland. The land gently rises along the
                       access road towards the proposal site, and also rises steeply to the right of this view to a local
                       highpoint. The bushland along the road and within the private properties enclose views to the
                       proposal site.

 Description of the    During construction vehicles would be seen travelling along the access road and accessing the site
 Proposal              at Tablelands Road. The access road would be retained and extended 25 metres to the southeast,
                       requiring some vegetation trimming in the background of the view. Construction activity at the
                       tower site would not be seen from this location due to intervening vegetation.

                       During operation this view would include the upgraded access road in the middle ground of the
                       view. the monopole would be fully screened by the intervening vegetation.

 Visual Sensitivity    This view has a neighbourhood visual sensitivity as it is located on a rural road and represents
                       views from a nearby rural dwelling.

 Visual Modification   The monopole would be screened by intervening vegetation. The view would include some minor
                       modifications to the entry driveway and possible glimpses to the removal of a few trees within the
                       site. Overall, there would be no perceived change in the amenity of this view .

 Level of Impact       Negligible visual impact
