                      Lake Cootharaba and 300 m from
                      onsite Remnant                 Vegetation) and
                      will     require
                              not                    removal           of any
                      vegetation.

                      The      proposed              facility        will        be
                      located            away    from  wetland
                      systems           and will be unlikely to
                      impact on the natural drainage or
                      cause         erosion              of      the         land.
                      Furthermore, the foundations and
                      earthworks               are              to         follow
                      engineering design standards and
                      stormwater dissipation is provided
                      through the proposed        gravel
                      compound finish. In addition no
                      buildings are proposed and a
                      Telecommunication Facility is not
                      a      habitable        use,         therefore                 no

                      effluent run off will occur.


                      The      proposed              facility         will           be
                      located           outside          of      the       areas

                      identified         as    ’Landslide              Hazard
                      Area’ and will not increase the risk
                      of a landslide hazard as the facility
                      will    be constructed       relatively on

                      level land and will not     impact on
                      land stability. Additionally, the use
                      will not increase the risk or impact
                      of fire since it is already cleared of
                      significant vegetation, where the
                      foundations and earthworks are to
                      follow             engineering                    design
                      standards           and            will        not         use

                      equipment                that             significantly
                      increases the risk of fire.


                      The proposed facility will also have
                      restrictions aimed at preventing
                      public access, including a secured
                      compound fence with a locked
                      gate and warning signs placed
                      around the facility.


                      Disturbance             of    cultural          heritage
                      will not occur as the subject site is
                      not   located  on   the  Heritage
                      Overlay as being located within
                      proximity to any heritage sites or
                      character areas.


                      Therefore the proposal is
                      consistent with 015.
