Town Planning Report and Appendices - Cooroibah

8.5 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.


8.6 Utility Services
All services required for the ongoing operation of the base station are capable of
being provided to the facility without impacting on the supply or reliability of
these services to any existing consumers in the locality. No stormwater,
sewerage or waste management facilities are required.


8.7 Noise
Noise and vibration emissions associated with the proposed facility will be limited
to the initial construction phase. There will be some low level noise from the
ongoing operation of air conditioning equipment associated with the equipment
shelter, once installed. Noise emanating from the air conditioning equipment is
at a comparable level to a domestic air conditioning installation, and will
generally accord with the background noise levels prescribed by Australian
Standard AS1055.


8.8 Flora and Fauna
          – Vegetation Management Act 1999

The Vegetation Management Act 1999 (VMA) is the legislation that regulates
vegetation management and the clearing of native vegetation in Queensland.
The VMA, administered by the Department of Natural Resources and Mines
(DNRM), controls the rules and regulations that guide what clearing can be
done, and how it must be done to meet the requirements of the law.

The proposed facility is located approximately 55 m from identified Category B
Regulated Vegetation (Of Concern/Least Concern Regional Ecosystem). Refer to
Figure 25 below.
