Updated: Aug 14, 2020

The response from Council's Property & Commercial Development department to the Optus application for a new "telco facility" on the bank of Curl Curl Lagoon reveals real and substantial environmental risks posed by the proposal. Quoting their response . .


"Property advises that a proposed new pole of this height will likely attract other carriers in future to co-locate on the same pole and each other carrier will require similar equipment on ground within the Council managed Crown Reserve. This may lead to a situation where the pole and ground area become cluttered with equipment similar to the situation at Plateau Park Collaroy Plateau which has become a target for vandalism."


Property conclude that a formal agreement with the applicant would be necessary to mitigate or eliminate such risks. Read their full referral response here.
