EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not applicable.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Property Advisor to the General Committee Meeting dated 14
January 2019 regarding the telecommunications lease on Council premises at Cooyar Street,
Noosa Heads and agree to enter a commercial lease of the premises to Optus Mobile Pty Ltd as
outlined in the report.

REPORT
The purpose of this report is to seek Council approval to enter into a new telecommunications
lease with Optus Mobile Pty Ltd. The proposed lease is an 18m2 area (6m x 3m) adjacent to an
existing telecommunications tower on Council owned land at Cooyar Street, Noosa Heads. The
existing tower is within an area leased to Telstra and the new lease is proposed to allow Optus to
co-locate its wireless equipment on the Telstra tower.
The proposed lease will provide a compound area for Optus’ on-ground equipment and a separate
agreement will address the tower co-location. The proposal is not subject to a development
application, as it is deemed a Low-impact Facility under federal telecommunications regulations.
Plans showing the site location and existing Telstra lease are shown below.
