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.

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.
