DETAILS
Application
The applicant is seeking to establish the development of a telecommunications facility,
comprising a 40 metre high monopole and ancillary components including one (1)
current and one (1) future standard NBN outdoor cabinet (1464mm x 667mm x 944mm)
on a concrete slab enclosed within a secure compound which measures approximately
60m 2 in area.
The proposed NBN Fixed Wireless facility at 631 East Yolla Road, Yolla would be
connected to another site proposed at Mount Hicks. The applicant has provided the
following detail to explain how the facilities link up:
“Mount Hicks is a fibre hub site that while providing coverage to the surrounding area
also provides signal transmission to three other sites at Yolla, Round Hill and Doctors
Rocks. Fibre hub sites are an important link in the overall system requiring access to the
NBN Co fibre transit cabling and to be located roughly midway between two or more key
receiving sites. Furthermore, the fibre hub site must have line-of-sight between itself and
the receiving sites. Each of the sites Mount Hicks transmits to will also provide NBN fixed
wireless coverage to a large number of businesses and residences.
Yolla and Moorleah are also part of wider networks of fixed wireless connections and will
provide NBN fixed wireless coverage to a substantial number of businesses and residences
in rural areas of Waratah-Wynyard Council.”
