TABLE OF CONTENTS - Waratah-Wynyard Council

Planning Authority
Land stability
To ensure that telecommunications
infrastructure does not cause land
instability.
Agricultural land
To protect the productive capacity
and efficient farming operations of
agricultural land.
Heritage values
To protect items, places or areas
identified as having aboriginal,
natural, cultural, or maritime
heritage significance.
Access
To ensure that telecommunications
infrastructure does not impede
movement of vehicular and other
modes of transport.
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.
Infrastructure installation and
operation does not degrade or
restrict the productive capacity of
agricultural land.
Infrastructure is placed on property
boundaries or fence lines (not
including road alignment
boundaries).
Proposals for construction and
operation of telecommunications
infrastructure are approved by the
Tasmanian Heritage Council in
accordance with the requirements
of the Historic Cultural Heritage Act
1995 and/or are consistent with
recommendations by the Aboriginal
Heritage Section of DELM.
The location of aerial
telecommunications infrastructure
allows adequate clearance for
vehicular traffic and will not pose a
danger or encumbrance to other
land users or aircraft.
Complies- the subject site is not a
known area of unstable land and the
access road is existing.
Erosion and sediment control
mitigation measures will be detailed
in construction management plans
that will be assessed as part of the
Building Approvals process.
The compound housing the
infrastructure is located along a
fence line within the property to
minimise impact on agricultural
operations. A small area (60m 2 ) of
agricultural land will be removed
from production but the operation
of the facility will not impact on
surrounding agricultural operations
as it is not a sensitive use.
Complies - The subject site is not on
the Tasmanian Heritage Register
and the applicants have included a
letter from Aboriginal Heritage
Tasmania confirming that they have
completed a search of the
Tasmanian Aboriginal Site Index and
there is no record of any heritage
sites within or close to the property
and that further due to the small
scale of the facility, it is believed
there is a low probability of
Aboriginal Heritage being impacted.
There was no requirement for
further Aboriginal Heritage
Investigations.
Complies - The proposed facility will
allow adequate clearance for
vehicular traffic and will not pose a
danger or encumbrance to other
land users or aircraft. It is noted that
the application has been referred to
the Burnie Airport Corporation and
they have indicated there are no
issues from their perspective.
