Development Application part 2 Report and Plans MCU13/0052

These setbacks in conjunction with the natural vegetation on site will assist with visually
integrating the monopole within its surroundings and minimising the visual dominance of
the structure.


This site was determined to be the most appropriate location for the current facility as it is
able to achieve NBN Co’s coverage objectives for the Boreen Point North and Cootharaba
locality. Furthermore, the site maximises physical separation from community and
environmentally sensitive locations, and no vegetation removal is required. As such,
potential impacts associated with the proposal, will be minimised. For these reasons,
Candidate C was considered the most viable option and has been selected as the prime
candidate.


Co-location opportunities


The    area of Boreen Point North did not offer any possible or feasible co-location

opportunities. Figure 3.2 below illustrates the location of existing telecommunication
facilities in the wider area. Within a 11 km radius of the Candidate C (Prime)there is only
one existing facility. As shown the closest existing facility is located approximately 10.8 km

south of Candidate C (Prime) in the suburb of Cooroibah. This facility is outside of the
search area for Boreen Point North and would not provide reliable coverageto the
townshi   .
