About the Infrastructure Proposed for Cooran

The Cooran Fixed Wireless Facility comprises a new 40 m monopole, three (3) panel antennas (1.077 m
long), three (3) remote radio units, and one (1) parabolic dish antenna (0.9 m in diameter). Associated
radio equipment is proposed to be housed in small cabinets located at the base of the facility.

The telecommunications pole is considered as Impact Assessable Development under the Noosa Plan
2009. Under these provisions, planning approval is required from Noosa Council.

Furthermore in accordance with s297 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, Public Notification is
required for an Impact Assessable development. SPA specifies the following:
The applicant or, with the applicant's written agreement, the applicant must -
¢ publish a notice at least once in a newspaper circulating generally in the locality of the land; and
« place a notice on the land in the way prescribed under a regulation; and
¢ give a notice to the owners of all land adjoining the land.

Neighbouring properties have also been notified of the proposal and comments are invited to be received
by Council by the 22"7 June 2015.

The estimated radiofrequency signal strength, or Environmental Electromagnetic Energy (EME) levels
from the proposed site are calculated in accordance with the ARPANSA prediction report methodology,
and are represented as a percentage of the standard based on maximum cumulative levels. Attached is
a copy of the EME report for this proposed site.

You will note that the proposal is consistent with other like facilities that generally operate many hundreds
and sometimes thousands of times below the allowable standard. If you would like further information on
the topic of EME, we recommend you visit htto:/Avww.who.int/peh-emf/en/ and
