Cooran - Development Application

7.2 Heritage
In order to determine any possible natural or cultural values of state or national
significance associated with the site, a search was conducted through the
relevant Heritage Registers (refer to Appendix D). There are no known items
of cultural, historical or environmental heritage significance located in the
vicinity of the proposal site.


7.3 Electrical Interference and Grounding of the Facility
The nbn™ fixed wireless network is licensed by the Australian Communications
and Media Authority (ACMA) for the exclusive use of the OFDMA9800 frequency
band. As nbn is the exclusive licensee of this sub-band, emissions from nbn™
equipment within the frequency band should not cause interference.

Filters will also help to ensure that each facility meets the ACMA specifications
for emission of spurious signals outside the nbn™ frequency allocations. nbn
intends to promptly investigate any interference issues that are reported.

The facility is also designed to be grounded to the relevant Australian Standards
– that is, the facility will be ‘earthed’.


7.4 Erosion, Sedimentation Control and Waste Management
All erosion and sediment control mitigation measures will be detailed in
construction plans and will comply with the Building Code of Australia and local
Council standards. In addition, contractors must comply with the ‘nbn
construction Specification' that requires contractors to undertake the necessary
erosion and sediment control measures in order to protect the surrounding
environment. On completion of the installation, the site will be restored and
reinstated to an appropriate standard. No waste which requires collection or
disposal will be generated by the operation of the facility.


7.5 Traffic Generation
After the construction period, the only traffic generated by the base station will
be that associated with maintenance vehicles. In this respect, it is estimated
that maintenance of the facility will generate only one visit per year and it will
remain unattended at all other times. The traffic generation will therefore be
minimal and not sufficient to create any adverse impacts in this regard or by
creating a demand for parking facilities.
