3.2                    Site Description, Topography and Vegetation

The site comprises one irregular shaped allotment, with frontage to Garnet Street to the south of the site
(refer to Figure 3). The proposed siting of the facility is at the north of the site occupying a narrow section of
vacant space. Access to the existing Telstra exchange is currently provided via Garnet Street.                The
topography is generally flat across the site, sloping mildly to the east.

The site is owned                                by the Australian Telecommunications Corporation and currently occupies an existing
Telstra Exchange which services the suburb of Cooroy and surrounds. The existing exchange building is
located towards the north southern frontage of the site, and associated vehicular access and parking to the
east. The site does not contain any vegetation.
