GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                 14 SEPTEMBER 2020


In line with the previous tenant’s telecommunications equipment at the site, OneQode also seeks
to install a 3 metre high wireless transmission mast (for backhaul connection and wireless internet
transmission) on the roof of the Cooroy Butter Factory. Consultation with Butter Factory
stakeholders is underway and, subject to satisfactory negotiation of a temporary licence, property
staff are also supportive of entering into a licence for that purpose. The recommendation also
addresses this issue accordingly.

Previous Council Consideration
Nil.

Finance
The financial return posed by the new lease is as detailed above. Some legal and transaction
costs will be incurred in the order of $3,000. Lease revenue will be incorporated in the 2020/21
budget.

Risks & Opportunities
The proposed lease poses minimal risk because it seeks to re-establish a commercial tenant at
this facility. Final agreement and execution of the lease is still to occur so there is still risk the
lease may not eventuate.

The proposed lease presents an opportunity to improve service provision to residents and
businesses via competition in the high-speed broadband market.
