Photomontage 4 – View looking south east towards the proposed facility from the reserve fronting 70 Lancaster Lane
                                (separation distance of approximately 358 m)



In conclusion, it is considered the facility has been located and designed appropriately to minimise visual
impacts on the Cooroibah area. Once established, the monopole is not likely to result in significantly adverse
impacts upon the amenity of the surrounding area when considering the following:
    •   The proposed facility has been sited in an area subject to a lower density of development that will
        benefit from generous separation distances to surrounding land uses;
    •   The proposed facility location at the rear of a rural residential allotment provides for separation from
        neighbouring dwellings; the closest of which is 220 m to the north-east;

    •   Existing mature vegetation established both on site and on neighbouring properties, will assist with
        visually integrating the facility with the surrounding landscape and minimising the visual impact of
        the facility when viewed from surrounding dwellings and roads;
    •   The facility will appear unobtrusive when viewed from the surrounding road network, in particular
        major roads, such as Lake Cooroibah Road (located approximately 900m to the east) and McKinnon
        Drive (located approximately 3km to west);
    •   A monopole was selected as the preferred structure over a lattice tower design as this type of facility
        can remain slim line and is less visually obtrusive when viewed from a distance; and
