Telecommunications facilities
127 Telecommunications facilities
(1) The objectives for development for the purpose of telecommunications
facilities are-- (a) to require telecommunications facilities to be provided
in a manner that meets community expectations for modern telecommunications
infrastructure, and
(b) to require telecommunications facilities to comply
with standards on exposure levels for electromagnetic energy (
"EME" ) and, in certain circumstances, to encourage facilities to be provided
in ways that reduce exposure to EME, and
(c) to require telecommunications
facilities to be provided in a manner that makes efficient use of existing
infrastructure and services, and
(d) to require telecommunications facilities
to be designed and located in such a way as to avoid and minimise impacts on
the environment and amenity of the area in which the facilities are located,
including the site of those facilities.
(2) Telecommunications facilities
must be designed, installed and operated to comply with standards relating to
human exposure to EME appearing in any applicable code or standard made under
the applicable law of the Commonwealth.
(3) Telecommunications facilities are
to be designed to minimise public exposure to EME through the principle of
prudent avoidance, whereby low or no cost measures are employed to avoid or
reduce exposures in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Council's
Better Living DCP .
(4) Consent shall not be granted to development for the
purpose of telecommunications facilities unless the consent authority is
satisfied that the development-- (a) contributes toward meeting the current
and future servicing needs of the locality for telecommunications (including
future servicing needs of newly developing areas), and
(b) complements or
enhances the character and streetscape of the surrounding area, and
(c) is
visually integrated with the character and streetscape of the surrounding
area, where proposed within a village precinct, and
(d) incorporates
effective measures to avoid or mitigate damage to vegetation, threatened
species and critical habitats, and
(e) cannot satisfactorily be located on an
existing telecommunications tower, and
(f) incorporates effective measures to
avoid or mitigate soil erosion,
with reference to the relevant provisions of
the Council's Better Living DCP .
(5) Telecommunications facilities in a road
reserve must-- (a) be consistent with the Austroads publication
Telecommunications in Road Reserves--Operational Guidelines for Installations
, as amended from time to time, and
(b) comply with the standards of the
appropriate roads authority.
