Figure 19 also illustrates the proposed facility’s strategic location within the
rural residential area of Cooroibah, removed from the higher density, urban
settlement to the west, and from neighbouring dwellings. The proposed facility
has been sited in an area subject to a lower density of development that will
benefit from generous separation distances to surrounding land uses, whilst
being able to achieve both coverage and transmission objectives at a maximum
height of 45 m.
The proposed location also provides for significant separation distances to road
corridors, and is set back more than 350 m from the Jirrima Crescent frontage.
As illustrated within the Photomontage contained within Figure 20, whilst
intermittent views of the facility may be visible from directly in front of the
subject site, the large separation distance will assist in reducing the visual
impact of the facility. Figure 20 also illustrates that the facility will be viewed in
the context of existing vertical elements in the area, i.e. the power poles that
line the Jirrima Crescent corridor.
