     That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Organisation
     Committee Meeting dated 13 October 2015 regarding Application No. MCU15/0061 for a
     Development Permit for Material Change of Use for Service & Utility Type 3 (Tower)

     A.    Approve the application in accordance with the conditions contained in the Planning
           and Organisation Committee Agenda dated 13 October 2015; and
     B.    Find the following are sufficient grounds to justify the decision despite the conflict with
           the Planning Scheme:
           1.    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 Cootharaba area; and
           2.    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.
