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

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

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.
