TABLE OF CONTENTS - Waratah-Wynyard Council

Planning Authority
To protect important public views
such as vistas to significant public
buildings, streetscapes and heritage
areas.
To avoid obstruction of private
views from the building
line/principal windows by
telecommunication lines.
Residential amenity
To protect residential amenity
Environmental values
To protect threatened species or
species at risk of becoming a
threatened species (as defined in
the Threatened Species Protection
Act 1995) and the habitats,
ecological communities or places
essential to their continuing
existence.
To protect areas identified as
having significant natural values.
To protect flora and fauna, habitats
and ecological communities.
Land stability
To ensure that telecommunications
infrastructure does not cause land
instability.
Telecommunications infrastructure
does not intrude into identified
important public views or measures
are taken to minimise intrusion.
Placement of telecommunication
lines avoids or minimises
obstruction of private views.
Infrastructure servicing a network
(facilities not requiring installation
on an individual street basis) is not
located in residential areas unless a
need to do otherwise is
demonstrated.
The proposed infrastructure does
not adversely impact on identified
threatened species or species at risk
of becoming a threatened species.
The proposed infrastructure does
not adversely affect areas identified
as having significant natural values.
The proposed infrastructure uses
best practice environmental
management to minimise harm to
the environment.
Telecommunications infrastructure
(including specific access routes)
does not cause erosion or cause
land instability during installation
and operation.
Telecommunications infrastructure
is not located in areas of known
unstable land where the risk is
identified as unacceptable for
development or installation of
infrastructure.
Complies - There are no identified
important public views to the site.
The proposal does not relate to the
erection of telecommunication lines
and is therefore not applicable to
the assessment. It is noted that, of
the proposal’s impact on the
adjacent dwelling, the vegetative
screen located on the eastern side
of the proposed tower will shield
the base of the facility from the
dwelling.
Not Applicable
Complies - The report
accompanying the DA has
confirmed that a search of the EPBC
revealed that no vulnerable or
endangered species of flora or
fauna are likely to exist in the
vicinity of the proposal site. No
vegetation is proposed to be
removed to facilitate the use and
development of the facility,
therefore endemic flora and fauna
will largely be unaffected.
Not Applicable – the site has not
been identified as having significant
natural values.
Complies – best practice
environmental management is to
be adopted to minimise harm to
the environment.
Complies- the subject site is not a
known area of unstable land.
Erosion and sediment control
mitigation measures will be
detailed in construction
management plans that will be
assessed as part of the Building
Approvals process.
