Development Application part 2 Report and Plans MCU13/0053

The site access is considered to be appropriate given the NBN Co facility will not be a
significant generator of traffic. Once operational, the facility will require maintenance visits
approximately once per year, but will remain unattended at all other times. As the facility
generates minimal trips per year, it is considered that traffic interference will be negligible.

During the construction phase, a truck will be used to deliver the equipment and a crane
will be used to lift the equipment into place. Any traffic impacts associated with
construction will be of a short-term duration and are not anticipated to adversely impact on
the surrounding road network. In the unlikely event that road closure will be required; NBN
Co will apply to the relevant authorities for permission.


5.1.4 Installation Details


A total construction period of approximately ten weeks (including Civil works and network
integration    and    equipment commissioning) is anticipated.                Construction    activities will
involve four basic stages:

       .   Stage 1 (Week 1)     -
                                    Site preparation works, including field testing, excavation and
           construction of foundations;

       .
           Stage 2 (Weeks2,3 and 4)           -
                                                   Construction of the tower;

       .
           Stage 3 (Weeks5 and 6)         -
                                              Construction of the outdoor cabinets and fences;

       .
           Stage 4 (Weeks 7     -

                                    10)-
                                           Installation of antennas and radio equipment, as well as
           equipment testing.

Once   operational, the facility will function on a continuously unstaffed basis and will
typically only require maintenance works once a year, for approximately one day per year.

5.1.5      Utility Service Details
Power for the proposed facility will be sourced from an existing network on Lake Flat Road
approximately 1.4 kilometres away. The conditions of supply are subject to further
investigation. Please refer to Drawing C2 of the Proposal Plans attached as Appendix 3
for further details.


5.1.6      Construction and Noise

Noise and vibration emissions associated with the proposed facility will be limited to the
construction phase outlined above. Noise generated during the construction phase will be
of short duration       and    will   be      in   accordance    with   the   standards outlined     in   the
Environmental Protection  Regulation 1998 and Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy
1997. Construction works will only occur between the hours of 7.00am and 6.00pm.


There will be        some   low level noise from the            ongoing operation    of air    conditioning
equipment associated with the equipment shelter, once installed. Noise emanating from
the air conditioning  equipment is at a comparable level to a domestic air conditioning
installation, and will generally accord with the background noise levels prescribed by
Australian Standard AS 1055.
