We are very concerned about the prospect of a base mobile Telecommunications Tower being situated by Indara Digital Infrastructure for OPTUS/Vodaphone on the corner of Quick Street and Limestone Avenue.
This tower is 28m tall or the height of a 9-storey building with a surrounding fence plus other apparatus.
We all need good telecommunications connections, and we are hoping that this tower could be situated on an alternative less visible site 600 meters away from the proposed site. This alternative site is still within Indara’s target area for good telecommunications connections.
Better still, this alternative site is further away from where the Friends of Ainslie Volcanics Grasslands are rehabilitating the land.
We will be attending a Directions Hearing at 10 am on Monday 16 December at
ACAT Allara House, 15 Constitution Avenue, Canberra City
We welcome you to be there with us as we work to have this tower repositioned.
