The carrier of the infrastructure must provide, at any time upon request by Council, written certification to demonstrate compliance with this condition. The written certification must assume:
a maximum number of users over the lifetime of any pole or other supporting structure
full power usage
a maximum down tilt of antennae.
Warning information signs and security fencing must be provided on the site to prevent unauthorised entry.  Fencing must be camouflaged through the use of colours, materials and screening vegetation to blend the fence into the visual landscape.

Such landscaping is to be completed prior to the commencement of the use and maintained at all times thereafter. The Landscape Plan shall include at a minimum:
The identification and retention of the existing trees within a 50m distance around the fenced compound area of the tower.
Appropriately selected tree species and understorey plantings to achieve dense visual screening of the tower and having regard to the soil conditions. Trees included shall be able to achieve up to 20m in mature height, though inclusion of fast growing species is also desirable to achieve early visual screening.
The planting areas should maximise the screening opportunities surrounding the tower and include appropriate planting for a distance up to 20m beyond the  perimeter of the lease area, whilst maintaining access and electricity supply.
A development application for Operational Works shall be required in this regard.

The telecommunications facility will provide coverage for the NBN fixed wireless network, allowing for the delivery of higher speed data to rural residential households in the Cooran area; and
The proposal will not significantly impact on the visual or residential amenity of the locality as it is to be located near existing infrastructure, and is screened by existing vegetation.

Taking this step will defer your appeal period, which will commence again from the start the day after you receive a “negotiated decision notice”.
