2.2 Site Candidate and Site Context

The site is registered as Lot 1 RP147703 and is located at 25 Railway Parade, Pomona QLD
4568 (the “subject site”). The subject site is on a non-symmetrical lot with a road frontage of
approximately 90m. The specific subject site location is set back 50 – 60 metres from the
roadway, with the total parcel size measuring approximately 5000 square metres. The land has
a flat ground surface with a gradual incline away from the road. It is an established site
containing a permanent Telstra exchange building alongside a portable type exchange building.
The exchange facility is a well-known site to the area, which is an established use on the land.
Driveway access is provided directly from Railway Parade.

The surrounding area to the south and west of the site is low density residential dwellings on
medium sized lots. Vegetation is scattered amongst the established properties. To the north
and east of the site, Railway Parade separates the parcel of land from a nearby railway line and
well vegetated area.

The general area is fairly flat in topography, with orderly residential dwellings and scattered
stands of vegetation.

A site map showing the surrounding area is illustrated in Figure 3.




Figure 1: Subject site and the surrounding areas.


With reference to the above, the surrounding area is characterized by low density land uses.
Given that the proposed 1.8m diameter dish installation will be installed towards the rear of the
premises and alongside an existing exchange building, it is anticipated that the proposed works
will not be highly visible to its surrounds. We also note that the use on the land are for
telecommunications infrastructure, which will not appear out of place within the context of the
immediate use on the land.

The proposed site location displayed below in Figures 2 and 3 meets Telstra’s deployment
objectives whilst satisfying construction feasibility, town planning considerations, environmental
impacts, visual amenities and engineering factors.
