                                      which will essentially help

are   designed and sited to     approximately 15 m above the
maintain the visual             existing tree canopy where the
dominance of the tree canopy    tallest tree is approximately 25 m
and other natural features      high.     The    proposed    height
along the water’s edge of       however is essential to allow the
Lake Cootharaba;                panel antennas to have clear line

                                coverage), and also ensure that
                                the radio transmission              dish    has
                                clear line of sight to the adjoining

                                has  been appropriately setback
