2 PROCESS FOR IDENTIFYING THE NEED AND PLANNING A MOBILE BASE STATION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
Mobile phone networks and mobile phone use have become an integral part of society's
and businesses every day functioning.
The mobile phone industry is rolling out a comprehensive third generation (3G) of mobile
phone technology. The new 3G network is the next step in cellular network technology
that enables the delivery of high speed data services as well as voice and messaging
services to mobile phones and other wireless products, such as personal digital assistants,
and handheld or laptop computers.
The main distinguishing feature between 2G and 3G is the increased data rates, where 3G
can be thought of as an equivalent to the internet's ‘broadband’ for your mobile phone.
3G networks can send data up to 40 times quicker than earlier digital networks, which
means that in addition to audio, graphics and text it can also send and receive video,
email, and live TV.
Telstra has released a mobile broadband vision for Australia announcing a three-year plan
for a single, super-fast national 3G mobile service {commonly known as 'NextG'}. The
Network Plan seeks to provide the means of establishing a number of new 3G mobile
telecommunication facilities across Australia in order to cater for the rapidly increasing
demand for mobile phone coverage and services.
2.2 NETWORK REQUIREMENTS AND RADIO FREQUENCY OBJECTIVES
It should be noted that the basic role and objectives of the proposed 3G sites are
somewhat different to those of the existing 2G sites. Where existing sites have laid down
the foundations of the network to primarily provide coverage for calls and basic data
transfer, the proposed site is an “infilling” area between existing sites to provide adequate
coverage and capacity handling.
The basic essential requirements for 3G sites can be considered as three-fold:
° Firstly, 3G technology utilises a higher range of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum.
Because the range of radio waves decreases as frequency increases, the
propagation of each 3G base station is smaller than other typical analogue and
digital technology sites. More 3G sites are therefore required to cover the same area
as other existing 2G sites.
° Secondly, 3G technology, due to its role of handling and processing increased data,
has a greater dependency on capacity as well as coverage. Greater numbers of
base stations are therefore required to provide additional capacity and to facilitate
interdependency and sharing capabilities within times of high network demand.
. Thirdly, the types of areas where people will be utilising 3G technology and services
are quite different to the broad areas that people use traditional 2G call and data
services. Overseas experience from countries such as the UK indicate that the
greatest demand for 3G services is likely to initially come from small to medium
business customers. Base stations must therefore be located in close proximity to
these locations and be able to provide in-building and in-vehicle coverage.
31/10/07 3
Page 36
_ DALY MCU for Noosa South, Lot 15 on $P177649 INTERNATIONAL These operational factors all influence the size of the search area within which a suitable site has to be identified. Geographical Constraints - The geographical form of the surrounding landscape also plays a large part in determining network design. Many of the rural landscapes comprise of undulating landscapes including, trees and other features that obstruct radio frequency (RF) coverage. The number of required sites and pattern of the network design will also have to account for the particular rural landscape. 2.3 PROCESS OF SITE SELECTION Planning for a new mobile telecommunications base station is a complex process, which in this case involved the following activities: . Telstra uses a number of methods to identify those parts in the 3G network that require improved coverage, capacity and call performance. These methods include drive surveys, statistical measures, Computer modelling of coverage, and the evaluation of customer complaints. When an area within the Telstra network is identified as providing poor services and performance, investigations are undertaken to determine the measures required to rectify theses services and performance deficiencies. In this case Telstra has identified the rural and nearby residential areas around Willow Vale, as requiring 3G mobile coverage, where there is presently poor to nil coverage. e Telstra radio frequency engineers assessed this deficiency and devised measures necessary for rectification. The first stage of the process was to consider if the deficiency can be improved through the optimisation of the existing network hardware to avoid the deployment of additional infrastructure. However if optimisation can not deliver a satisfactory outcome, the deployment of a new site is considered. The initial research undertaken is used to define the scope of the network deficiency and the performance objective of the proposed new facility. In this instance, the radio frequency engineer determined that a new site (telecommunication tower) is required. e Telstra identified an area where a telecommunications facility would be most required (a "search ring") and undertakes a preliminary investigation with the relevant planning/environmental and property consultants, RF engineers and designer of this search ring to identify possible locations or options for the facility. Whilst the operational and geographical aspects of deploying new mobile base stations are primary factors, there are many other critical issues that have to be effectively resolved in parallel that also influence network design. Some of the issues which need to be considered are visual amenity, co-location, the availability and suitability of land and a willing site provider, occupational health and safety, construction issues - structural and loading feasibility, access for 31/10/07 4
Page 37
on DALY MCU for Noosa South, Lot 15 on $P177649 INTERNATIONAL maintenance purposes, topographical constraints, legislative policy constraints, environmental impacts, and cost implications. The number, type and height of facilities required to complete the 3G network are largely determined by the above operational, geographical and other factors discussed that influence final network design. These compounded factors often severely restrict the available search area within which a facility can be established. Comments: In this instance, while there are existing Telstra mobile telecommunications facilities in the surrounding areas, the technical requirements of this facility resulted in a small "search ring". One of the major coverage objectives for this site is to provide improved coverage to Noosa Springs and surrounding area. ve SWE \y é re "eR q oN By, e 2 ee Figure 2.1 - Location of Discounted Options. Sites that were considered include the following: ° 1. Greenfield site at Water Treatment Works, Wallum Lane - This candidate is a “Greenfield” site, located on land at a Water Treatment works. This site is within a rural type area. This proposal would involve the erection of a 30m high facility to achieve radio frequency objectives above the surrounding tree canopy for the search area. This site has been discounted as much of the site has underground services and the land owner will not allow building to take place over these underground services. ° 2. Greenfield site on land off Wallum Lane - This candidate is a "Greenfield” site, located off Ruffles Road/Wallum Lane. This site is within a rural area. This proposal would involve the erection of a 35m high facility to achieve radio frequency objectives for the search area. This site was in a lower location than the preferred option, therefore a 35m mast would be required. This site has been discounted as 31/10/07 5
Page 38
_ DALY MCU for Noosa South, Lot 15 on SP177649 INTERNATIONAL much of the site has underground services and the land owner does not want building to take place over these underground services. . 3. Existing Communications Tower, Noosa Heads Police Station, Langura Street - The proposal would involve the installation of antennas on an existing communications tower at a located next to the courthouse and police station. The site is located in close to the built up area and is adjacent to a retirement home. The site has been discounted as it is too far form the target area (Noosa Springs) to provide the required network coverage. ° 4. Existing Structure - Tower at Noosa Heads Fire Station, Langura Street - The proposal would involve the installation of antennas on the rescue training tower. The site is opposite the police station and courthouse and is located in an elevated position. The site has been discounted as it is too close to an existing Telstra facility and is also too far from the target area to provide the required network coverage. Operators are committed where practically possible to locate antennas and other telecommunication equipment on existing towers and _— structures where telecommunications equipment already exists. A search of the area revealed that there are no existing telecommunications in the area. 2.4 PREFERRED NOMINATED CANDITATE A preferred nominated candidate, based on radio frequency, planning/environmental issues, engineering criteria and real estate considerations as mentioned in Section 2.3 (bullet point 1) is then selected. In this instance, the Greenfield on land off Noosa Springs Drive, Noosa Springs was selected as the preferred nominated candidate. This proposal would involve the erection of a 30m high facility to achieve radio frequency objectives for the target area. Other criteria in favour of this site: ° It is situated in an rural area, in the middle of the search ring; . It is within dense woodland providing good screening; ° the site is an elevated location providing wider coverage; . the site will not require the removal of any vegetation; e the proposal will not restrict other development on the property; and . the property owner is in favour of the proposed facility. Daly International, as planning and site acquisition consultants to Telstra, then undertook a detailed assessment of the preferred candidate. This involved an investigation of the compliance of the proposed facility with the relevant processes and objectives of the applicable Commonwealth, State and Local Government planning and environmental legislation, policies, standards and guidelines. It also involved an investigation of the possible impacts of the proposed facility on areas potentially affected by the proposal. 31/10/07 6

2.5 SITE DESCRIPTION
The site is located in the middie of a vegetated parcel of land which was formally used by
Council as an informal tip and storage area. The surrounding land uses are a mixture of
residential and other public utility land uses. According to the Noosa Plan Planning
Scheme 2006, the Noosa Head {Zone Map ZMé6) land zoning in and around the subject site
is classed as Open Space Conservation.
The surrounding land uses forms an open space area, with the residential area of Noosa
Heads to the north and west of the subject site. South of the subject site beyond the
recently formed Eenie Creek Road, is a waste water treatment works, which adjoins Noosa
Springs Golf Course.
Noosa Council owns Lot 15 on SP177649, which is currently zoned as “Open Space
Conservation" on an area of open land which was previously used for storage and deposit
of inert Council waste. See Figure 2.3 for an aerial photo of the site and surrounding area.
Noosa Council has stipulated that Telstra must try where possible not to remove or
damage any trees or other vegetation.
The site for the proposed development is a 66m? leased area, on a 9.559ha lot that is
located off Leslie Drive and Noosa Springs Drive. The telecommunication tower lease area
is located in the centre of the property, approximately 190m to the closest residential
property. See Figure 2.2 Locality Plan, for a map showing the location of the site.

3. PROPOSAL
Infrastructure: Proposed telecommunication facility, within an enclosed fenced off
compound area would comprise the following:-
. A new 30m monopole with a headframe mount and 6 no. panel antennas (each
antenna measuring 2620mm (h) x 370mm (w) x 185mm (d)} affixed to the top of the
pole; and
. Prefabricated equipment shelter (measuring {2.28m x 3.28m x 3.0m).
Associated ancillary works including mounting methods, new cable trays, cabling, safe
access, earthing, electrical and air-conditioning works at the proposed
telecommunications facility. Refer to Appendix A - Proposed Plans.
Utility service details: Power will be sourced from the existing power supply on Leslie Road
and will run up the existing track in a shallow trench. Refer to Facility Drawings in Appendix
A.
Access and parking details: Access to the site for construction and servicing the site will be
gained via an existing track off Leslie Road as highlighted on drawing no. Q107632. An
assessment of the site access has concluded that no trees will need to be removed to
improve or form the access track. In relation to parking it is considered that there Is
sufficient car parking space on the site.
There is adequate room for parking of construction vehicles on site. In the operational
phase, maintenance technicians will occasionally need to gain access to the site.
However, given the tow demand for maintenance, dedicated car parking spaces are not
required.
Installation details: A total construction period of approximately four weeks is anticipated
(depending on the weather conditions). Construction activities will involve site preparation
such as field testing, excavation and foundations, tower construction, shelter construction
antenna installation, fencing and testing of equipment.
Maintenance details: The proposed telecommunications facility is self-contained and
operates on a continuous unstaffed basis. Once operational, and integrated within the
mobile network, the base station typically requires infrequent maintenance inspections {up
to 4 visits per year on average).

4 COMMONWEALTH REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
As a licensed telecommunications carrier, Telstra must operate under the provisions of the
Telecommunications Act 1997, and the following supporting legislation
Telecommunications Code of Practice 1997, Telecommunications (Low-impact Facilities)
Determination 1997 (as amended) and the Australia Communications Indusiry Forum
(ACIF} - Industry Code for the Deployment of Mobile Phone Network Infrastructure.
4.1 TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT 1997
The Telecommunications Act 1997 {the Act) is the principal Act that governs the activities
of telecommunication carriers. The aim of the Telecommunications Act 1997 is to provide a
regulatory framework that promotes:
fa} “the long-term interests of end users of carriage services or of services provided by
means of carriage services; and
(b} the efficiency and international competitiveness of the — Australian
Telecommunications Industry.”
Schedule 3 of the Act sets out the powers and immunities of telecommunication carriers.
The principal powers of telecommunications carriers without obtaining State and Territory
laws are:
. The power to inspect land for the purpose of determining whether fhe land is
suitable for the carriers purposes;
e The installation of specified facilities, including low-impact facilities; and
° The power to maintain a facility that is situated on the land.
In exercising Powers under this part Telstra must comply with certain conditions including:
° Doing as little damage as possible:
. Acting in accordance with good engineering practice and complying with
recognised industry standards;
° Taking reasonable steps to restore the land and to protect the environment; and
. Giving notice to the owner of the land.
Comment: The proposed installation can not be considered as “low-impact facility" and is
therefore subject to the provisions of the Integrated Planning Act 1997 and accordingly,
the provisions of Noosa Plan 2006.
4.2 TELECOMMUNICATIONS CODE OF PRACTICE 1997
Under the Telecommunications Act 1997 the Government established the
Telecommunications Code of Practice 1997, which sets out the conditions under which a
carrier must operate.
31/10/07 10
Page 43
os DALY MCU for Noosa South, Lot 15 on SP177649 INTERNATIONAL The Code of Practice sets out the obligations on telecommunications carriers when undertaking activities such as inspecting land, installing facilities and maintaining facilities. In particular, Clause 3.13 of the Code directs felecommunications carriers to take all reasonable steps to ascertain whether any existing facility of another telecommunication carrier or a ‘Public Utility’ is available for co-location, when proposing fo install a new facility. Also, section 2.11 of the Telecommunications Code of Practice 1997 sets out the design, planning and installation requirements for the carriers to ensure the installation of facilities is in accordance with industry 'best practice’. This is required to: . minimise the potential degradation of the environment and the visual amenity associated with the facilities.” [Section 2.11(3)] Best practice also involves the carrier complying with any relevant industry code or standard that is registered by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) under Part 6 of the Act. Comment: The siting and design of the proposal has taken place in accordance with Section 3 (Planning and Siting) of the Australian Standard, Siting of Radiocommunications Facilities (AS 3516.2). In accordance with the requirements of the Code of Practice, Daly International in conjunction with Telstra, assessed the viability of the co-location of other existing telecommunication facilities in the search area during the site selection process. However, no existing telecommunication facilities are located in the search area that will provide the required radio frequency objectives. This proposal therefore, fully complies with the Code of Practice. 43 THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS (LOW-IMPACT FACILITIES) DETERMINATION 1997 The Telecommunications (Low-impact Facilities) Determination 1997 (‘the Determination’) identifies both the type of facilities that can be “Low-impact", and the areas in which these facilities can be installed. The Determination specifies when a telecommunication carrier can enter land and install a low- impact telecommunication facility without seeking approval under State and Territory laws. The Determination also ensures that such installations are subject to the processes for negotiation and dispute resolution set out in the Telecommunications Code of Practice 1997. Where a facility is not defined as "low-impact", it is subject to State and Territory planning laws and regulations. Comments: In this instance, the current proposal is not defined as a low-impact facility and therefore it is subject to State laws and the provisions of the Noosa Plan 2006. This is because the proposed Telstra facility does not comply with Part 3 —- Low impact Facilities of the Determination. 31/10/07 1
Page 44
on DALY MCU for Noosa South, Lot 15 on SP177649 INTERNATIONAL 4.4 THE AUSTRALIA COMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY FORUM (ACIF) - INDUSTRY CODE FOR THE DEPLOYMENT OF MOBILE PHONE NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE The Australian Communications Industry Forum (ACIF) Industry Code is a mandatory code developed by the operators and ratified by the ACMA. The Code provides for greater transparency and accountability of carriers' activities through the publication of network information on an internet based National Site Archive (NSA) and increased public consultation on individual sites. The general objectives of the code are: a) To apply a Precautionary Approach to the deployment of radiocommunications infrastructure; b) To provide best practice processes for demonstrating compliance with relevant exposure limits and the protection of the public: c} To ensure relevant stakeholders are informed and consulted before radiocommunications infrastructure is constructed; d) To specify standards for consultation, information availability and presentation; e) To consider the impact on the well being of the community, physical or otherwise, of radiocommunications infrastructure; and f) To ensure Council and community views are incorporated into the radiocommunications infrastructure site selection. Section 5.1 of the Code requires that a carrier must have written procedures for site selection for radiocommunications infrastructure and to adopt a precautionary approach to the design and siting of facilities. In particular, the Code requires the following matters to be taken into account when designing and siting radiocommunications infrastructure: a) Reasonable service objectives of the carrier including: i) the area the planned service must cover, ii) power levels needed to provide quality of service; ii) the amount of usage the planned service must handle; b) Minimisation of electromagnetic energy (EME) exposure to the public; c) The likelinood of an area being a community sensitive location (Examples of sites which sometimes have been considered to be sensitive include residential areas, childcare centres, schools, aged care centres, hospitals and regional icons); da) The objective of avoiding community sensitive locations; e) Relevant state and local government telecommunications planning policies; f} The outcomes of consultation processes with Councils and communities as set out in Section 5.5 of the Code; g) The heritage significance (built, cultural and natural); h) The physical characteristics of the locality including elevation and terrain; i) The availability of jand and public utilities; 31/10/07 12
Page 45
_ DALY MCU for Noosa South, Lot 15 on SP177649 INTERNATIONAL j) The availability of transmission to connect the radiocommunications infrastructure with the rest of the network, eg, line of sight for microwave transmission or fibre connection; k) The radiofrequency interference the planned service may cause to other services; \) The radiofrequency interference the planned service could experience at that location from other services or sources of radio emissions; m} Any obligations, and opportunities, to co-locate facilities: and n) Cost factors. Comment: The precautionary approach ouilined in the ACIF Code has been considered in the design of this proposal. Refer to Appendix B: Section 5.1 and 5.2 assessments. 45 THE ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION AND BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION (EPBC) ACT 1999 The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act 1999 obliges telecommunications carriers to consider 'matters of national environmental significance’. Under this legislation, an action will require approval from the Minister of Environment if the action has or is likely to have an impact on a matter of ‘national environmental significance’. According to the EPBC Act 1999, there are matters of national significance, which must be considered. These matters do not apply to the proposed telecommunications facility.

os DALY MCU for Noosa South, Lot 15 on $P177649 INTERNATIONAL 5 STATE PLANNING LEGISLATION AND GUIDELINES As indicated at Section 4.3, the proposed facility does not fall within the definition of the Telecommunications (Low-impact Facilities) Determination 1997 and is therefore subject to State and Territory Environmental Planning Instruments and regulations in addition to Commonwealth regulatory framework. There are several state government laws and guidelines that apply to the proposed Telstra facility. These include: ° Integrated Planning Act 1997 and the Integrated Planning Regulation 1998; . South East Queensland Regional Plan. 5.1 THE INTEGRATED PLANNING ACT 1997 AND INTGRATED PLANNING REGULATION 1998 The purpose of the Integrated Planning Act 1997 (IPA) (section 1.2.1) is fo seek to achieve ecological sustainability by (a) coordinating and integrated planning at local, regional and State levels and (b) managing the process by which development occurs and (c) managing the effects of the development on the environment (including managing the use of the premises). Pursuant to Chapter 3 of the Integrated Planning Act 1997, this application has been prepared to form part of a Impact Assessable Material Change of Use application seeking a development permit under the Noosa Plan 2006. This application will be subject to the Integrated Development Assessment System (Chapter 3 of IPA 1997 - IDAS). Comment: As the proposed facility in question is not "Low-impact”, then the provisions of the Noosa Plan 2006 apply, and this Planning Report has been compiled with the intention of accompanying a Impact Assessable Material Change of Use Development Application to Noosa Council seeking a development permit for a telecommunication facility at land off Noosa Springs Drive, Noosa Heads. 3.2 THE SOUTH EAST QUEENSLAND REGIONAL PLAN 2005-2026 The South East Queensland Regional Plan 2005 - 2026 (SEQ Regional Plan) is intended to "map out a better future for everyone living and working" in SEQ. The plan seeks to balance the economic and environmental forces which compete in the regions through delivering viable long term strategies. The plan includes specific policies for the region that set out the desired regional outcomes, principles and policies to address growth management in SEQ. 31/10/07 15
Page 48
oe DALY MCU for Noosa South, Lot 15 on $P177649 INTERNATIONAL The relevant SEQ Regional Plan policy (section 10.6 Information and communication technologies}, principle seeks to: "Provide affordable access to high-speed broadband telecommunications...", and the accompanied policy: "10.6.1 Expedite the deployment of high-speed broadband telecommunications in SEQ...” Compliance: This proposal is consistent with the intent of this policy as it will introduce the new 3G network. This proposed 3G technology enables access to video and internet services not provided with previous communications services and will improve mobile communications within the local network, providing a direct benefit to the community and economy in general. This proposal aims to address the current shortfall in the latest 3G technology coverage in Noosa Heads and Noosa Springs area. The site is located within the Regional Landscape and Rural Production Area in the SEQ Regional Plan 2005-2026. The intent of the Regional Landscape and Rural Production Area is to identify “lands that have a regional landscape, rural production or other non-urban values and protects these areas from encroachment by inappropriate development or rural residential development” (SEQ Regional Plan 2005-2026). The development of telecommunications does not conflict with any other rural precinct. 5.3 APPLICABLE STATE PLANNING POLICIES Overview: There are no applicable State Planning Policies for this development application. 5.4 REFERRAL AGENCIES Under Schedule 8 of the Integrated Planning Regulation 1998, this development application will require referral as the land is registered on the Environmental Management Register as a notifiable activity pursuant to section 374 of the Environmental Protection Act 1994, 5.5 LOCAL GOVERNMENT REGULATORY FRAMEWORK — NOOSA PLAN 2006 In addition to the Commonwealth and State government regulatory requirements, the proposed facility is also subject to the relevant Local Government regulatory framework. In this case the relevant Local Government regulatory framework is the IPA compliant Noosa Plan 2006 (Planning Scheme). 31/10/07 16

Noosa Plan 2006 was prepared in accordance with the Integrated Planning Act 1997 (IPA),
as a framework for managing development.
Part 3 — Desired Environmental Outcomes Noosa Plan 2006 aims to produce ecologically
sustainable development outcomes by considering the influences on ecological
sustainability. Noosa Plan DEO sets out in a number of primary land uses and set out the
desirable outcomes for each use, including community implications.
It is important that each DEO had regard to another; however this development
application has made particularly consideration to part |) Infrastructure and Services.
« The proposed telecommunications facility will improve and provide high quality
mobile phone and broadband coverage to the Noosa Heads and Noosa Springs.
With regards to Community Implications of Infrastructure & Services the following points
have been considered:-
« Coastal urban residents and visitors expect a certain level of infrastructure and
servicing, which includes power, telecommunications, garbage collection, running
water and flush toilets. — The infroduction of the proposed telecommunications
facility will improve mobile coverage to the Noosa Heads area, while also provide
coverage to areas within Noosa Springs that currently experience no network
coverage.
« Broadband telecommunications infrastructure allows people to work and study
from home and access goods and services over the Internet. The introduction of a
new telecommunications facility at the subject site willimprove and expand 3G
coverage {mobile broadband}, which will have benefits to local community and
businesses.
e While telecommunication facilities are very important, towers and other
installations are not located in visually prominent locations. The location of the
proposed telecommunications tower and the specific design has been selected as
not cause and detrimental harm to the visual amenity of the area and is not
considered to be in a prominent location.
§.5.1 Application Requirements
Part 2 of the Noosa Plan 2006 defines a telecommunications facility in a Primary Use as
“Infrastructure Use". Within this Primary Use the land uses are broken down into Use Class —
of “Service & Utility’, and then divided into three “Use” types. This development
application is considered to be Type 3 - Tower.
"Type 3 Tower “
The use of premises for a tower, antennas or mast and supporting shelter or equipment, in
the provision or supply of electricity or telecommunications. The use excludes facilities
deemed to be "Low Impact Facilities” under the Telecommunication (Low Impact Facility]
Determination Act 1997, and excludes power poles. The use includes a
telecommunication tower, wind turbine, high voltage transmission lines (110kv or greater)
31/10/07 7
Page 50
on DALY MCU for Noosa South, Lot 15 on SP177649 INTERNATIONAL The area in which the subject site is situated is "Open Space Conservation" as defined in the Noosa Heads Zone Map ZMé6 under the provisions of the Noosa Plan 2006. The proposed Material Change of Use will be Impact Assessable according to Part 9 Noosa Heads Locality Plan - Division 11 Open Space Conservation. This Impact Assessable Material Change of Use application is subject to the Noosa Heads Locality Plan DEO's and codes: The applicable codes for this proposal are as follows: Locality Plan - Part 9 Noosa Heads Division 11 - Assessment table for the Open Space Conservation Division 14 - Overall Outcomes for the Noosa Heads Locality Division 15 - Specific Outcomes for the Noosa Heads Locality Division 24 - Open Space Conservation Zone Assessment Criteria (Use Code) - Part 14 . Division 5 — Infrastructure Use Code 5.5.2 Noosa Heads Locality Plan Noosa Heads area is defined by a number of varied and complex areas and land uses. The site is designated as “Open Space Conservation" as set out in the Noosa Heads Zone Map 6. Division 11 of the Noosa Heads Locality table expresses that any Infrastructure use would be impact assessable, and also considered it as an inconsistent use. It is however considered that this land use does not fairly reflect the previous activities on the land. The land has been previously used by Council for the storage and disposal of inert material, meaning that some land including the subject site is clear of any flora and fauna. Part 9 — Division 14 of the Planning Scheme sets out the overall outcomes for the Noosa Heads locality, and the solutions that have to be addressed (see Appendix C). The proposed development has specific regards to the visual amenity of its locality and also high regard to natural conservation issues. . Comments: The proposed felecommunication tower will comply with the general intent of the Noosa Heads Locality. The proposed development will not cause any undue harm to the visual amenity of the area and by using an area that have been previous disturbed no flora or fauna will be adversely effected. The location of the site has been selected to provide the required network coverage will have the least amount effect on the visual impact, as viewed from the local road network and nearby residential areas. The other important consideration is the effect of the proposed development on the nature 31/10/07 18
Page 51
on DALY MCU tor Noosa Souih, Lot 15 on SP177649 INTERNATIONAL conservation in the locality. By using previously developed land and an existing access into the site there will be not need to remove any trees or other vegetation (see Appendix C - Codes). 5.5.3. Assessment Criteria (Use Code) Part 14 - Division 5 sets out the assessment criteria for all general Infrastructure type developments and also then sets out the criteria for Type 3 towers. A search of the surrounding area reveals that there are not suitable structures in the area that would be capable of hosting telecommunications equipment. It is considered that the land use is rural and therefore the assessment criteria allows for a maximum height of 25m. The proposed development requires a 30m tower to provide the required network coverage, which include Noosa Springs. Due to the topography around Noosa Springs and the adjoining golf course there is no network coverage. The increased height will also allow the antennas to be clear and above the surrounding trees, which also provide good lower level screening. Comments: It is considered that the proposed telecommunications tower generally complies with assessment criteria for Infrastructure and sub class Type 3 Towers. The location of the site which is set back from, housing and main roads in the area, along with mature trees are all factors which will reduce the visual impact. Views of the site from passing vehicles and nearby dwellings will be limited, and the structure does not affect any of the important vistas in Noosa Heads. The additional 5m to the accepted 25m limit will allow provide the ideal network coverage and reduce the need for Telstra to consider telecommunication facilities in this locality. The proposed development generally complies with this criterion. The access track to the site already exists and previous activity on the site means that no trees or other vegetation will be affected by the proposed development. 5.5.4 Policy 23 Telecommunication Tower: The main purposes of the code as stated in the Noosa Plan 2006, is as follows; a) Encourage telecommunications to only be located in areas that will not cause impact on existing character b) Provide site selection to assist applicants c) Ensure that telecommunications towers meet the aims of The Noosa Plan; and d) Provide guidance to the community Comments: - The proposal has been assessed against the details set out in Policy 23 Telecommunication Tower. The proposed telecommunications tower has been assessed against the criteria sets out in policy 23 and it is considered that the proposed telecommunications tower complies with the criteria. 31/10/07 19

Telstra MCU for Noosa South, Lot 15 on SP177649 DALY INTERNATIONAL 5.5.5 Overlay and Constraint Codes Part 9 of Noosa Plan 2006 identifies through Overlay Maps constraints or issues that may need to be addressed as part of the Development Assessment process. The table below summaries the constraints and overlays for the proposed telecommunications facility. Table 4.2 Overlay Maps 6.1 to 6.5 Overlays Applicable or not Not Applicable — The subject site is not allocated within any Biodiversity area. The subject site is tocated on a small clear area (Unallocated) and Map 6.1- surrounded to the west by Environmental Enhancement and to east by Biodiversity Environmental Protection. The proposal is therefore not subject to the Biodiversity overlay code. Map 6.2 - Heritage Not Applicable — There are no Heritage sites close to site. The proposal is therefore not subject to the Heritage overlay code. Map 6.3 - Natural Hazard Flooding and Landslide Not Applicable — The subject site or adjoining land is not subject to flooding or landslides. The proposal is therefore not subject to the Natural Hazard — Landslide and Flooding Overlay Map 6.4 - Natural Hazard Bushfire and Acid Sulphate Not Applicable - The subject site or adjoining land is not subject fo acid sulphate soils or bushfire risk. The proposal is therefore not subject to the Natural Hazard - Bushfire and Acid Sulphate Map 6.5 Nature Resources Not Applicable - The subject site or adjoining land is not located on any Nature Resource. The proposal is therefore not subject to the Natural Resource overlay. As can be seen from the above fable no other codes are applicable fo the proposed development. 31/10/07 20

6 OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS, OPPORTUNITIES AND MITIGATION
6.1 HERITAGE CONSERVATION ISSUES
In order to determine any possible natural or cultural values of state or national
significance associated with the site, a search was conducted of the following registers:
. Register of the National Estafe (administered by the Australian Heritage Council
under the Australian Heritage Council Act 2003);
. Queensland Heritage Register (administered by the Environmental Protection
Agency under the Queensland Heritage Act 1992);
° Register of Indigenous Cultural Heritage Sites (administered by the Department of
Natural Resources and Mines under the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003; and
The Register of the National Estate listed as Great Sandy Strait {Wetlands of International
Significance) as Matters of National Environmental Significance. It further indicated that
the proposed Telstra facility is located within 10km of the Ramsar site.
The other three searches of the Queensland Heritage Register, Indigenous Cultural
Heritage Sites Register and established that the site is not subject to nor has any
recognised cultural or natural heritage significance.
6.2 NATIVE TITLE
The area is not covered Native Title claim, there are no Native Title claims or Indigenous
Land Use Agreements over the site as it is freehold.
63 FLORA AND FAUNA
The subject site is located in a vegetated area which is characterised by tall eucalyptus
trees up to a height of 20m. The Planning Scheme zones the site as Open Space
Conservation to protect the biodiversity value of the land, and maintain the Open Space
quality of the land. The site is located on area of land that has not been zoned for Koala
Conservation in the SEQ Regional Plan; however given the small footprint of the
compound area the proposed development will not prevent the movement of wildlife
across the land.
It is understood that the site is currently been located within the proposed Girraween
Estate Nature Refuge (IUCN Category VI}. The proposed fower is however sited on an area
of land that is allocated “Public utilities - excluded”. The previous use of the land for
storage and disposal of inert waste materials allows the proposed tower and compound
area to be on land that has been previously cleared of trees and other vegetation. The
site has an existing access track and this track will also be used for the underground
services such as fibre and electricity.
31/10/07 21
Page 54
on DALY MCU for Noosa South, Lot 15 on SP177649 INTERNATIONAL 6.4. SITECONTAMINATION A search of the registers administered by the Environmental Protection Agency of Queensland has established that the site is not included on either the Contaminated Land Register (CLR). The site is included in the Environmental Management Register (EMR}, as the site is subject to a notifiable activity pursuant to section 374 of the Environmental Protection Act 1994. The site has been subject to operating a defence establishment or a training area used for handling ammunition in a way that may have caused, or may cause, remnant unexploded ordnance. Advice has been sort regarding the above issue from Bactec SE Asia Pty Ltd (DoE approved) who will be engaged to undertake any work that may be required in the construction phase of the proposed development. The proposed construction and ongoing operation telecommunication facility will not generate any solid or liquid waste that could contaminate the site. 65 VISUAL AMENITY In order to achieve its desired coverage in the area, Telstra needs to sufficiently elevate its antennas above physical obstructions, including the adjacent trees. The adjacent trees are approximately 20m in height, therefore the structure will have to be higher than the trees to allow for the tilt on the antennas and also the potential for the trees to grow. Telstra proposes to minimise potential impacts of the proposed facility on the visual amenity of the site and surrounding area by locating the proposed facility within mature trees which will screen the majority of the tower. The tower and antennas will be painted an appropriate colour to blend into vegetated area. Views of the site are limited from the surrounding area due to the surrounding topography and dense tree coverage close to the site. 6.6 STORMWATER DRAINAGE There will not be any need for a stormwater drainage system following construction of the proposed facility, as it has a small “foot print” area. Nonetheless, the Telstra installation will be designed to further minimise any impact upon the existing on-site drainage. The equipment shelter will be raised on piers so as to not create an impediment that would change stormwater flows and allow rainwater to dissipate evenly over the site compound area. 67 NOISE AND VIBRATION EMISSIONS 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. 31/10/07 22
Page 55
_ DALY
MCU for Noosa South, Lot 15 on SP177649 INTERNATIONAL
There will be some low level! noise from the on-going operation of air-conditioning
equipment associated with the equipment shelter once installed. Noise emanating from
the air-conditioning equipment would be similar to those used in domestic situations, and
will generally accord with the background noise levels given in Australian Standard AS
1055.
68 TRAFFIC, ACCESS AND PARKING
During the construction phase, a truck will be used to deliver the equipment and a crane
will be utilised to lift most of the equipment into place. Traffic impacts associated with
these vehicles will be of a short-term duration and is not anticipated to adversely impact
upon the surrounding road network.
Once the proposed Telstra facility is operational, there will be minimal traffic generated by
the site. The maintenance requirements of the proposed Telstra facility will include
maintenance activities on an “as-required”" basis. In conclusion, this development is a
minimal traffic generator and will not require on-site parking.
69 UTILITY SERVICES
There will be no adverse environmental impacts by supplying power to the site. The power
to the site will be provided from the existing power sources on off Leslie Road by cable to
the telecommunication facility. Refer to Appendix A plans.
6.10 PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY
All Telstra facility installations are designed and certified by qualified professional engineers
and are in accordance with all relevant Australian Standards. This ensures that the
proposed Telstra facility does not result in any increase in the level of risk to the public.
Telstra operates the facility in compliance with the ACMA mandatory standard, for human
exposure to EME - currently the Radiocommunications {Electromagnetic Radiation -
Human Exposure} Standard 2003. Appendix F shows that the predicted EME will be 0.1% of
the ACMA mandated exposure limit.
The proposed facility will have warning/restrictive access signs aimed at preventing public
access, including a green 2.3 m high secured compound fence.
6.11 STATEMENT IN RELATION TO THE REMOVAL OF REDUNDANT FACILITIES
In the event of the Telstra facility becoming redundant to their requirements, the facility
would be removed. Telstra would ensure that the site is left in a similar condition to that
when their facility was first installed.

QLD Environmental Management Register and Contaminated Land Register Results Page 2 of 4 Lindi Bowen Registrar, Contaminated Land Unit AREA MANAGEMENT ADVICE Unexploded Ordnance LOT : 15 PLAN : SP177649 FILE REF : AMA Site 1d:32865 PRINTED: 06/08/2007 The lot that is the subject of this search is part of a large area of land or contains land on which the Department of Defence (Defence), due to the land's previous military use, has assessed the potential for residual unexploded ordnance (UXO) to be ‘substantial’. UXO is explosive ordnance such as artillery shells, mortars or grenades, that did not explode when used, and much of it results from military training during World War II. The above assessment is published on Defence's website http:/Avww.defence.gov.au/uxo and in a Defence UXO report on the local government area in which the lot is located. Defence has advised that it has also published newspaper warnings and distributed UXO warning and advice brochures in the area. in support of any Defence initiatives to warn land owners, residents and workers of land in such areas and, in particular, Defence's recommendations in regard to land usage, the Environmental Protection Agency has issued this “Area Management Advice ” for the subject lot and others affected by Defence's assessment. This “Area Management Advice ” does not constitute a listing of the lot on the Environmental Management Register or the Contaminated Land Register that is maintained by the Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to the Environmental Protection Act 1994 . Defence recommends that any land usage rezoning or development of land with ‘substantial’ UXO potential should only proceed following the conduct of UXO investigation and any necessary remediation by a qualified UXO investigation and remedial search contractor. Defence maintains a list, on its website, of commercial UXO contractors that it accredits to carry out this work. Accordingly, any development application for material change of use of the lot or reconfiguration of the lot will require referral to the Environmental Protection Agency as a concurrence agency for the application - pursuant to sections 3.3.16 and 3.3.18 of the Integrated Planning Act 1997 . Conditions typically applied by the Environmental Protection Agency provide for investigation and any necessary remediation of the land as part of the development process. Notwithstanding the above requirement, Defence also recommends that the current usage of land with ‘substantial’ UXO potential may continue without specific need for further UXO investigation. Defence advises that there are no known instances, in Australia, where UXO have caused injuries unless they were deliberately and intentionally disturbed. The procedure, if an object suspected of being UXO is found in the area, is as follows: * Do not touch or disturb the object. * Take action, where appropriate, to prevent it being disturbed by another person. https://www.confirm.citec.com.au/weblogic/C2Dispatcher 6/08/2007

APPENDIX F ARPANSA EME Report Appendix MCU Noosa South Rev: 1 31/10/2007 - Appendix -
Page 95
Summary of Estimated RF EME Levels around the Proposed Mobile Phone Base Station at Noosa South, Wallam Lane, Noosa Introduction: Date 28/06/07 NSA Site No 4567008 This report summarises the estimated maximum cumulative radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME) levels at ground level emitted from the proposed Mobite Phone Base Station antennas at Noosa South Wallam Lane, Noosa. Maximum EME levels are estimated in 360° circular bands out to 500m from the base station. The procedures for making the estimates have been developed by the Australian Radiation Protection And Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA)'. These are documented in the ARPANSA Technical Report; “Radio Frequency EME Exposure Levels - Prediction Methodologies” which is available at htto:/Awww.arpansa.gov.au EME Health Standard ARPANSA, an Australian Government agency in the Health and Ageing portfolio has established a Radiation Protection Standard? specifying limits for continuous exposure of the general public to RF transmissions at frequencies used by mobile phone base stations. Further information can be gained from the ARPANSA web site. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA)? mandates exposure limits for continuous exposure of the general public to RF EME from mobile phone base stations. Further information can be found at the ACMA website http://emr.acma.gov.au Proposed Site Radio Systems Telstra CDMA800 (inc WCDMA) Table of Predicted EME Levels - Proposed Maximum Cumulative EME Level— All carriers at this site Distance from the antennas at Noosa South in 360° circular bands (% of ARPANSA exposure limits?) Public exposure limit = 100% Om to 50m 0.0088% 50m to 100m 0.044% 100m to 200m 0.19% 200m to 300m 0.11% 300m to 400m 0.051% 400m to 500m 0.029% Maximum EME level 135.95 m, from the antennas at Noosa South 0.19% Tabke: Estimation for the maximum level of RF EME at 1.5m above the ground from the proposed antennas assuming level ground. The estimated levels have been calculated on the maximum mobile phone call capacity anticipated for this site. This estimation does not include possible radio signal attenuation due to buildings and the general environment. The actual EME levels will generally be significantly less than predicted due to path losses and the base station automatically minimising transmitter power to only serve established phone calls*. Where applicable, particular locations of interest in the area surrounding the base station, including topographical variations, are assessed in Appendix A“ Other areas of Interest” table on the last page. Summary — Proposed Radio Systems RF EME levels have been estimated from the proposed antennas at Noosa South Wallam Lane, Noosa. The maximum cumulative EME level at 1.5 m above ground level is estimated to be 0.19 % of the ARPANSA public exposure limits. Environmental EME report (2007 ARPANSA Format) Page 1 of 3

Existing Site Radio Systems There are currently no existing radio systems for this site. Reference Notes: 1. The Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) is a Federal Government agency incorporated under the Health and Ageing portfolio. ARPANSA is charged with responsibility for protecting the health and safety of people, and the environment, from the harmful effects of radiation (ionising and non-ionising). Australian Radiation Protection and Nudear Safety Agency (ARPANSA), 2002, ‘Radiation Protection Standard: Maximum Exposure Levels to Radiofrequency Fields — 3 kHz to 300 GHz’, Radiation Protection Series Publication No. 3, ARPANSA, Yallambie Australia. [Printed version: ISBN 0-642-79400-6 ISSN 1445-9760] (Web version: ISBN 0-642-79402-2 ISSN 1445-9760] The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is responsible for the regulation of broadcasting, radiocommunications, telecommunications and online content. Information on EME is available at http://emr.acma.qov.au/ The EME predictions in this report assume a near worst-case scenario including: ~ base station transmitters operating at maximum power (no automatic power reduction) - simultaneous telephone calls on all channels - an unobstructed line of sight view to the antennas. In practice a worst-case scenario is rarely the case. There are often trees and buildings in the immediate vicinity, and cellular networks automatically adjust transmit power to suit the actual telephone traffic. The level of EME may also be affected where significant landscape features are present and predicted EME levels might not be the absolute maximum at all locations. Further explanation of this report may be found in “Understanding the ARPANSA Environmental EME Report” and other documents on the ARPANSA web site, http://www.arpansa.gov.au Issued by: Telstra Corporation Limited, Data reference file - Waltam Lane, Noosa - 20070628143137 Environmental EME report (2007 ARPANSA Format) Page 2 of 3
