ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA                                                    28 AUGUST 2014


        Health and Safety
        6.    The development must not, at any time during the life of the development,
              result in human exposure to environmental electromagnetic emissions
              exceeding the current regulations, standards and/or recommendations of the
              Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA). The
              carrier of the infrastructure must provide, at any time upon request by Council,
              written certification to demonstrate compliance with this condition. The written
              certification must assume:
              a.    a maximum number of users over the lifetime of any pole or other
                    supporting structure
              b.    full power usage
              c.    a maximum down tilt of antennae.
        7.    Warning information signs and security fencing must be provided on the site to
              prevent unauthorised entry. Fencing must be camouflaged through the use of
              colours, materials and screening vegetation to blend the fence into the visual
              landscape.
        Colours and Finishes
        8.    The monopole and associated panels must be finished in colours that blend in
              visually into the landscape.
        Cessation of Use
        9.    The telecommunications facility must be removed from the site upon cessation
              of the use.
        Landscaping Plan
        10.   Dense screening vegetation shall be established around the enclosure in
              accordance with Council’s Policy on Landscaping Guidelines and a properly
              prepared landscape plan. Such landscaping is to be completed prior to the
              commencement of the use and maintained at all times thereafter. The
              Landscape Plan shall include at a minimum:
              a.    Identify and retain all existing trees within a 100m distance around the
                    fenced compound area of the tower. Existing trees shall not be lopped or
                    pruned below their existing height.
              b.    Appropriately selected tree species and understorey plantings to achieve
                    dense visual screening of the tower and having regard to the soil
                    conditions. Trees included shall be able to achieve up to 20m in mature
                    height, though inclusion of fast growing species is also desirable to
                    achieve early visual screening.
              c.    The planting areas should maximise the screening opportunities
                    surrounding the tower and include appropriate planting for a distance up
                    to 20m beyond the perimeter of the lease area, whilst maintaining access
                    and electricity supply.
                    A development application for Operational Works shall be required in this
                    regard.
        Roadworks
        11.   The developer must provide an access driveway extending from the end of the
              existing driveway servicing 66 Mountain View Road to the site of the
              telecommunications tower. The works must be undertaken in accordance with
              an Operational Works approval and must include:
              a.    A formation sufficient to cater for the vehicle types expected during the
                    construction and operational phases of the development


                                                                                Page 7 of 19
