2 [CNR-RT] Telstra Corporation Limited – Equipment Shelter – Hospital Hill Reservoir - Crown Reserve 86173 being Lot 7011 DP 1058669
ORIGIN:
Design Unit
SUMMARY OF REPORT:
At its meeting held on 15 December 2009, Council resolved to enter into a lease with Telstra to allow an equipment shelter shed to be built on Council land adjacent to an existing lattice tower at the Hospital Hill Reservoir site at Karramul Street Murwillumbah.
The works also include the extension of an existing panel to enable the addition of six further antenna. Telstra’s proposed works were to improve in-building coverage in the area.
Rental was yet to be negotiated at the time of the report and a valuation was subsequently obtained and provided to Daly International Pty Ltd, acting on behalf of Telstra, to initiate negotiations with Telstra.
Daly International subsequently advised Council on 16 February 2010 that the shed will now be constructed on the area of Crown Land that contains the existing tower, adjacent to the original reservoir at the site. A formal letter of notice to Council of the proposal, as required under the Industry Code for the Deployment of Mobile Phone Network Infrastructure, was received by Council on 15 February, 2010.
The Land and Property Management Authority have advised the Trust that they will now be entering into a s34A licence directly with Telstra, and the Authority is seeking comments from the Trust in relation to the proposed development and section 34A licence. The area to be licensed is within Crown Reserve 86173 for Public Recreation, which precludes the Trust from entering into a direct licence with Telstra as it is outside the purpose of the reserve.
It is recommended that the Trust requests that the s34A licence include a requirement that Telstra undertake a hazard identification and risk assessment of electromagnetic field emanations from the leased area and forward the results of the assessment to Council within three months from the commencement of the licence. If the electromagnetic field emanations exceed the Radiation Protection Standard that applies at the time of the hazard identification assessment, then the Land and Property Management Authority can terminate the Lease.
Tweed Reserves Trust Meeting: Tuesday 16 March 2010
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Reserves Trust:-
1. Provides no objection to a section 34A licence between the Land and Property Management Authority and Telstra over Lot 7011 DP 1058669 being Crown Reserve 86173 subject to the s34A licence include a requirement that Telstra undertake a hazard identification and risk assessment of electromagnetic field emanations from the infrastructure and forward the results of the assessment to Council within three months from the commencement of the licence. If the electromagnetic field emanations exceed the Radiation Protection Standard that applies at the time of the hazard identification assessment, then the Land and Property Management Authority can terminate the Licence.
2. Subject to the above, provides no objection to the construction of an equipment shelter shed on Lot 7011 in DP 1058669 being part of Crown Reserve 86173 for Public Recreation.

REPORT:
At its meeting held on 15 December 2009, Council resolved to enter into a lease with Telstra to allow an equipment shelter shed to be built on Council land adjacent to an existing lattice tower at the Hospital Hill Reservoir site at Karramul Street Murwillumbah.
The works also include the extension of an existing panel to enable the addition of six further antenna. Telstra’s proposed works were to improve in-building coverage in the area. A copy of the report and resolution are attached for ease of reference.
Rental was yet to be negotiated at the time of the report and a valuation was subsequently obtained and provided to Daly International Pty Ltd, acting on behalf of Telstra, to initiate negotiations with Telstra.
Daly International Pty Ltd advised that the facility is a ‘low impact facility’ under Schedule 3 of the Telecommunications Act 1997 and the Telecommunications (Low Impact Facilities) Determination 1997. However, a preliminary assessment by a Council planner indicate that until formal notice is given and full assessment can be made, this is yet to be confirmed. Should an assessment determine that the proposal falls outside the relevant criteria, then a development application may be necessary.
Daly International subsequently advised Council on 16 February 2010 that the shed will now be constructed on the area of Crown Land that contains the existing tower, adjacent to the original reservoir at the site. A formal letter of notice to Council of the proposal, as required under the Industry Code for the Deployment of Mobile Phone Network Infrastructure, was received by Council on 15 February, 2010.

The plan below shows the new location of the shelter shed:
