Attachment B - Revised ARPANSA EME Report (Dated 11.2.14)

      Summary of Estimated RF EME Levels around the Proposed Wireless Base Station at
                 Boreen Point 153 Lake Flat Road, BOREEN POINT QLD 4565

Introduction:                                                 Date 11/2/2014                                  NSA Site No (4565007)
This report summarises the estimated maximum cumulative radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME) levels at
ground level emitted from the existing wireless base station antennas at Boreen Point 153 Lake Flat Road BOREEN POINT
QLD 4565 . 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)1.
These are documented in the ARPANSA Technical Report; “Radio Frequency EME Exposure Levels - Prediction
Methodologies” which is available at http://www.arpansa.gov.au

EME Health Standard
ARPANSA, an Australian Government agency in the Health and Ageing portfolio has established a Radiation Protection
Standard2 specifying limits for continuous exposure of the general public to RF transmissions at frequencies used by wireless
base stations. Further information can be gained from the ARPANSA web site.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA)3 mandates exposure limits for continuous exposure of the
general public to RF EME from wireless base stations. Further information can be found at the ACMA website
http://emr.acma.gov.au

Existing Site Radio Systems There are currently no existing radio systems for this site.

Note: Estimation for the maximum level of RF EME at 1.5m above the ground from the existing and proposed antennas assuming level
ground. The estimated levels have been calculated on the maximum mobile phone call and data 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 and data transmissions5. 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.
