TABLE OF CONTENTS - Waratah-Wynyard Council

The Mayor thanked Mr Belden for his comments and noted these would be taken into
consideration in the conditions imposed on the current agenda and that any conditions
not being complied with would be dealt with by Council Officers.
The General Manager advised once Council was aware that activity was being
undertaken this was stopped by officers and the proponent was directed to put measures
in place to minimise impact on surrounding residents. He further advised that what
further action Council may or may not take will be determined at a later stage.
9.3.4 Tony Lock – Planning Application - Cumming Street, Boat Harbour – DA85/2012
Mr Tony Lock of 16 Cumming Street, Boat Harbour Beach asked if Council had thought
about the environmental impact that the dwelling might have on the landslip area and
the water runoff given that there is no water drainage down Cumming Street.
Ashley Brooks, Consultant Planner from GHD advised that there is a landslip risk
assessment with the application that has been prepared by a Geo-technician Consultant
which is included in the attachment to the agenda item which indicates that there is a low
risk of landslip as a result of the development. In relation to the issue of stormwater,
there is a recommended condition relating to stormwater connection.

9.4.1 Sarah McMaster – Planning Applications - NBN
Ms Sarah McMaster, 60 Albert Road, South Melbourne advised that she is the Town
Planning Consultant for Aurecon on behalf of the NBN Co. There are 3 applications for
Council’s consideration for the NBN Fixed Wireless Network.
The fixed wireless network is basically a series of telecommunications facilities which will
deliver high speed internet directly to businesses. It is mainly aimed to cover semi urban
and regional areas which are unable to access the fibre network. There are a total of 83
fixed wireless sites across northern Tasmania. NBN seek to co-locate on existing
telecommunications infrastructure where they can and have achieved this on 31 of the
sites and the remaining 52 are subject to planning applications many of which have
already been granted in other areas across the state.
For the site to be in the network, there is an interlinked series of chains and each chain
then comprises a fibre hub site which links into the fibre network and that feeds
transmissions to other sites along the chains.
