ORDINARY COUNCIL MINUTES - 28 MARCH 2001 Page 12 Comment At present Council's Town Planning Scheme No 2 (as amended) indicates that Radio/ Television Installation is an AA Use in an Industrial Zone which is a use that Council may, at its discretion, permit pursuant to this Scheme. As no development application has yet been received by Council from Vodafone or its consultants, the Denham Structure Plan has been consulted in an attempt to locate a suitable site that is unlikely to impact on present or future townsite uses in relation to the siting of mobile telephone towers. The most suitable site is considered to be within the Recreation Reserve bordered by Dampier Road and Monkey Mia Road. This site is considered appropriate for the following reasons - 1 Unlikely to impact negatively on townsite uses now or in the future. 2 Power accessible. 3 The suggested policy of prudent avoidance incorporating a 300 metre buffer zone is achievable. Legal Implications The suggested site may avoid future possibilities of litigation due to possible negative health impacts on Denham residents.
ORDINARY COUNCIL MINUTES - 28 MARCH 2001 Page 13 Policy Implications Council does not at present have a policy in relation to the siting of mobile telephone towers, however it is worthy of consideration in order to provide guidance to companies wishing to establish mobile telephone towers adjacent the Denham townsite. Financial Implications Nil. Strategic Implications Suggested siting of mobile telephone tower is compatible with Denham Townsite Structure Plan (see attached plan). Recommendation That Council advise any future developer of mobile telephone tower sites that the only acceptable location within the Denham townsite is within the Recreation Reserve bordered by Dampier Road and Monkey Mia Road that incorporates a 300 metre buffer zone around the installation from any boundary or road. Voting Requirements Simple Majority Required. Date of Report 21 March 2001 Councillors supported the concept of erecting mobile telephone towers away from residential/industrial areas. A lengthy discussion ensued on possible locations for the tower. General consensus was that additional towers should be in close proximity to the existing Telstra tower.
