Candidate    Site Address         Proposed                       Description
                               Structure Type
                                                   nearby dwellings and roads. The
                                                   closest dwelling to this proposed
                                                   location is approximately 220 m to
                                                   the north-east.
                                                   Furthermore, mature vegetation on
                                                   the subject site, and within the
                                                   surrounding area and road corridors,
                                                   will provide screening benefits to the
                                                   proposed facility, reducing its visual
                                                   dominance in the landscape.
                                                   This location also enables the height
                                                   of the proposed facility to be
                                                   restricted to 45 m and a slim-line,
                                                   monopole      structure     whilst   still
                                                   achieving coverage to all the targeted
                                                   localities and obtaining line of sight to
                                                   other planned sites in the nbn™
                                                   wireless network; and

                                                   As such, Candidate A has been
                                                   selected as the prime candidate.


                                                   nbn investigated co-locating on the
     B      1 Illoura Place,   Telstra co-locate
                                                   existing Telstra tower at 1 Illoura
            Cooroibah
                                                   Place, Cooroibah.

                                                   The height required by nbn for the
                                                   Cooroibah site is determined by a
                                                   combination of coverage objective to
                                                   the community of Cooroibah coupled
                                                   with the need to have microwave
                                                   connectivity back to the broader
                                                   nbn™ network via the proposed
                                                   nbn™ facility at Cootharaba.

                                                   In this case, from a network
                                                   performance          and      coverage
                                                   perspective, a height of 45 m is
                                                   required to adequately service the
                                                   community of Cooroibah and a
                                                   minimum height of 37 m is required
                                                   to connect back to the proposed
                                                   Cootharaba facility. Given that neither
                                                   of these heights can be achieved by
                                                   co-locating on the existing Telstra
                                                   facility as it is only 30 m in height,
                                                   the co-location option is therefore
