Town Planning Report and Appendices - Cooroibah

   •      A monopole was selected as the preferred structure over a lattice tower
          design as this type of facility can remain slim line and is less visually
          obtrusive when viewed from a distance.



8.2 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). As a result of this search,
no known items of cultural, historical or environmental heritage significance
were found to be located in the vicinity of the proposed facility. However, the
duty of care outlined in the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 Duty of Care
Guidelines will be exercised during construction and if at any time a cultural
heritage find is made, all activities will cease immediately until further notice to
proceed has been obtained from the relevant cultural heritage party.


8.3 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’.


8.4 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.
