Principal(c) Towers may be extended for the purposesof co-location.(d) The extension of an existing tower mustbe considered as a practical co-locationsolution prior to building new towers.(e) If a facility is proposed not to be colocatedthe proponent must demonstrate thatco-location is not practicable.(f) If the development is for a co-locationpurpose, then any new telecommunicationsfacility must be designed, installed andoperated so that the resultant cumulativelevels of radio frequency emissions of the colocatedtelecommunications facilities arewithin the maximum human exposure levelsset out in the Radiation Protection Standard.ProposalThe proposal does involve the use of anexisting mast however extensions were notconsidered necessary.The antennas are being affixed to an existingMetroNet mast.The antennas are being affixed to an existingMetroNet mast.The cumulative levels of radio frequencyemissions of the co-locatedtelecommunications facilities are well belowthe maximum human exposure levels set outin the Radiation Protection Standard.Principle 3: Health standards for exposure to radio emissions will be met.Principal(a) A telecommunications facility must bedesigned, installed and operated so that themaximum human exposure levels toradiofrequency emissions comply withRadiation Protection Standard.(b) An EME Environmental Report shall beproduced by the proponent of developmentto which the Mobile Phone Network Codeapplies in terms of design, siting of facilitiesand notifications.The Report is to be in the format required bythe Australian Radiation Protection NuclearProposalThe proposed facility will comply with theARPANSA standard in relation to humanexposure to EME. An EME report has beencompleted and is found at Appendix 4.This report demonstrates compliance with theARPANSA standard for the operation of aradio communications facility in Australia.The proposal is not for a mobile phonenetwork and is not subject to the Code for theDevelopment of Mobile Phone NetworkInfrastructure commonly known as the ACIFCode.An EME report has been completed and isfound at Appendix 4.Page 57 of 64
