3. THE PROPOSAL

3.1 Proposal Summary
This application involves the following changes to the approved development:
   •    Access to be obtained from the adjoining lot to the south
   •    Extent of vegetation clearing
   •    Power supply route


3.1.1   Proposed access to the approved facility

In accordance with Section 78 of the Planning Act, approval is sought for the
proposed access to the approved telecommunications facility from Jirrima
Crescent, traversing the access lot, for construction and maintenance access.
The proposed access has incorporated a second lot (the access lot), to utilise
the existing waterway crossing on the land. The proposed access track
alignment is outlined in green (Figure 3). Substantial earthworks and vegetation
removal would be required to upgrade the existing waterway crossing on the
subject site. In order to reduce the environmental impact to upgrade the existing
waterway crossing proposed within the original approval, the existing waterway
crossing located on the access lot is instead proposed to be utilised.
