The telecommunications facility is considered as Impact Assessable Development under The Noosa Plan.
Under these provisions, planning approval is required from Noosa Shire Council.

Furthermore in accordance with s297 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, Public Notification is required
for an Impact Assessable development. SPA specifies the following:

The applicant or, with the applicant's written agreement, the applicant must -

Neighbouring properties have also been notified of the proposal and comments are invited to be received

The estimated radiofrequency signal strength, or Environmental Electromagnetic Energy (EME) levels
from the proposed site are calculated in accordance with the ARPANSA44 prediction report methodology,
