considered appropriate to accommodate the proposed facility whilst. minimising potential
visual and amenity impacts. In order to achieve this, a comprehensive site selection
process was undertaken prior to identifying a preferred site for the development of a new
facility. This process involved consideration to not only meeting the coverage objectives,
but also minimising visual and amenity impacts to the surrounding area.

existing infrastructure including the existing energex network which runs from north to
south through the centre of the subject site. Fixed wireless coverage in the Soreen Point
area will also aid economic development through potentially increasing business growth

and education potential within the township identified as a identified as a ’Village Centre’
