They include:• Regent Theatre, located at 197 Keira Street, listed under the NSW Heritage Act and theWollongong LEP;• Wollongong Railway Station Group listed under the NSW Heritage Act and RailCorp’sSection 170 Register; and• A variety of houses and bungalows in surrounding streets including Atchison Street, CrownStreet, Gladstone Avenue and Keira Street, listed under the Wollongong LEP.The site is located close to the Wollongong Railway Station Group but is not within theboundary of the site as described on the heritage listing.A search for known items of Aboriginal heritage value was undertaken for the proposed site,(with a 50 metre buffer) on 14 February 2012 using the Office of Environment and Heritage’sAboriginal Heritage Information Management System (AHIMS). No Aboriginal sites or placeswere found at the location or its surrounds (refer Appendix 3).Potential ImpactsAs a new monopole is not being erected, the antennas being affixed to an existing MetroNetmast will be the only new element introduced into the visual environment (refer visual impacts inSection 10) and they may be visible from Dean Street and Auburn Street. However, theantennas will not interrupt or block views of any nearby heritage listed items.Page 35 of 64
