Dear Jack,

Re:                                   Request to Negotiate Decision Notice
Council Reference:                    MCU15/0034
Development Application:              MCU – ‘Service & Utility Type 3 Tower’
Location:                             249 Schreibers Road, Cooran QLD 4569 (Lot 12 on RP883248)

I refer to the Decision Notice regarding the abovementioned development application dated 31 July
2015

In accordance with Section 361 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, NBN Co wishes to make a
representation regarding the following conditions:

Building Height

5. Certification must be submitted to Council from a Licensed Surveyor which certifies that the
monopole structure does not exceed the maximum height requirement of this Decision Notice.

A Form 16 can be provided from the Civil ASP once the site has been built. The Form 16 gives
certification from a registered engineer confirming that the site has been built as per the For
Construction Proposal Plans, which will include the maximum overall height of the monopole.
Therefore, a separate certification from a suitably qualified surveyor is not considered necessary. This
has previously been accepted by Council for other NBN Sites in the Noosa Shire Council such as:
     • Doonan West (MCU13/0046)
     • Tinbeerwah West (MCU13/0049)
     • Pomona South (MCU13/0068)
     • Boreen Point (MCU13/0053)
     • Boreen Point North (MCU13/0052)
     • Kin Kin (MCU13/0062)

Therefore, for the above reasons we respectively request Condition 5 is amended to read:

5. Certification must be submitted to Council with a Form 16 which certifies that the monopole
structure does not exceed the maximum height required of this Decision Notice.


Health and Safety

8. Warning information signs and security fencing must be provided on the site to prevent
unauthorised entry. Fencing must be camouflaged through the use of colours, materials and
screening vegetation to blend the fence into the visual landscape.

Given the existing mature vegetation surrounding the site to the south and east, in conjunction with
additional landscaping along the north western boundary of the compound and the setback from
neighbouring homes and surrounding roads, considerable screening of the fencing will be provided.
NBN Co does not consider further camouflage of the fencing of the compound through the use of
colours and materials is required in this instance.
