Development Application part 2 Report and Plans MCU13/0052

    The site access is considered to be appropriate given the NBN Co facility will not be a
    significant generator of traffic. Once operational, the facility will require maintenance visits
    approximately once per year, but will remain unattended at all other times. As the facility
    generates minimal trips per year, it is considered that traffic interference will be negligible.

    During the construction phase, a truck will be used to deliver the equipment and a crane
    will be used to lift the equipment into place. Any traffic impacts associated with
    construction will be of a short-term duration and are not anticipated to adversely impact on
    the surrounding road network. In the unlikely event that road closure will be required; NBN
    Co will apply to Council for permission.


    5.1.4 Installation Details


    A total construction period of approximately ten weeks (including Civil works and network
    integration    and    equipment commissioning) is anticipated. Construction                  activities will
    involve four basic stages:

         .     Stage 1 (Week 1)     -
                                        Site preparation works, including field testing, excavation and
               construction of foundations;

         .     Stage 2 (Weeks2,3 and 4)           -
                                                       Construction of the tower;

         .
               Stage 3 (Weeks5 and 6)         -
                                                  Construction of the outdoor cabinets and fences;

         .
               Stage 4 (Weeks 7     -

                                        10) -
                                                Installation of antennas and radio equipment, as well as
               equipment testing.

    Once   operational, the facility will function on a continuously unstaffed basis and will
    typically only require maintenance works once a year, for approximately one day per year.

    5.1.5      Utility Service Details
    Power for the proposed facility will be sourced from an existing network on Lake Flat Road
    approximately 50m away. The conditions of supply are subject to further investigation.
    Please refer to Drawing C2 of the Proposal Plans attached as Appendix 3 for further
    details.


    5.1.6      Construction and Noise

    Noise and vibration emissions associated with the proposed facility will be limited to the
    construction phase outlined above. Noise generated during the construction phase will be
    of   short duration     and     will   be     in   accordance    with   the   standards   outlined   in   the
    Environmental Protection  Regulation 1998 and Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy
    1997. Construction works will only occur between the hours of 7.00am and 6.00pm.


    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 AS 1055.
