5.0 Development Impacts
This section takes into consideration matters of relevance to the proposed development which is
inclusive of issues relating to the environmental impacts of the proposal on the built and natural
form, as well as the social and economic impacts the telecommunications facility will have on the
locality.

As the proposed site is situated within a cleared portion of land, it is believed that the proposed
facility will not result in environmental impacts towards the built and/or natural environments. The
“footprint” of the proposal will not require any vegetation clearance. The following environmental,
social and economic considerations have been made in reference to the proposal.


5.1 Visual Impact

critical infrastructure assets employed by the emergency services, rail and other public utility
authorities to ensure the active and safe operation of their respective duties.

All types of telecommunications facilities are a common feature within urban and rural
landscapes. Specific design elements have been included within the planning of the proposed
facility, inclusive of:
