PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                            19 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
          b.    An alignment that protects significant vegetation and minimises the effects on
                the adjoining properties.
