Noc Boreen Point

the township, and the Boreen Point North facility (MCU13/0052 approved by Council on 29th January
2014) provides a service to parts of Cootharaba. The Boreen Point North facility also acts as the key
transmission link for the Boreen Point facility and another proposed facility further south west at Davis
Road, Cootharaba, connecting them to the broader NBN network.

The two proposed facilities work in tandem to provide service to these communities. More than 630
properties, households and businesses, will be serviced either directly or indirectly by the proposed
facilities at Boreen Point.

far removed from the village and surrounding houses as possible, and that take good advantage of the
surrounding vegetation screening.

units, and one (1) parabolic dish antenna (0.3 m in diameter). Associated radio equipment is proposed to
be housed in small cabinets located at the base of the facility.
