The facility is necessary due to the area topography and growth in population and motor vehicles travelling through the surroundings.
A majority of calls to emergency services in Australia are made using mobile telephones.
The facility is necessary to service rapid growth in the IoT, telemetry, and high data penetration of people using their phones.
At times of disaster or extreme weather, reliable mobile telephony is necessary for reaching fire and emergency services by the community.
The installation of the NBN system has not resolved the poor mobile coverage, and fails whenever there is an electricity outage. It is therefore impossible to call for help during storm conditions, when the power has failed and there is physical damage to the surrounding environment (powerlines down, trees fallen onto houses, etc).
Many residents have poor to zero mobile coverage, and cannot reliably conduct their employment or personal business by mobile phone. Working from home is often not an option for those affected.
People's lives are at risk when they cannot reliably reach emergency services by a mobile phone call.
These proposals often face organised community opposition based on conspiracy theories and misinformation.
The proposal will not unreasonably impact upon amenity of the public realm or any other sensitive land uses.
