Principallocated, as far as practical, underground orwithin an existing underground conduit orduct.(b) Overhead lines, antennas and ancillarytelecommunications facilities should, wherepractical, be co-located or attached to existingstructures such as buildings, public utilitystructures, poles, towers or other radiocommunications equipment to minimise theproliferation of telecommunication facilitiesand unnecessary clutter.(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.Proposalwill be in existing conduits or in newunderground conduits wherever feasible orpossible.Co-location on other communications towershas been considered. No other towers weredeemed appropriate or in a location toprovide sufficient network coverage, as sucha new monopole is proposed.The proposal does not involve the use of anexisting tower. The extension of existingtowers in the area was considered anddeemed unsuitable.The proposal does not involve the use of anexisting tower, however the extension ofexisting towers in the area was consideredand deemed unsuitable.There are no suitable communicationstowers in the target coverage area that wouldsatisfy the coverage objectives as well as thenetwork requirements of the DTRS project.Co-location is not proposed.Principle 3: Health standards for exposure to radio emissions will be met.Page 60 of 67
