MORE INFORMATION

“The New South Wales Department of Education has a preference for a distance of at least 500 metres from the boundary of schools, from mobile telecommunications facilities. The Education Department supports objections against mobile telecommunications facilities near school grounds. Busy Kids Day Care Centre has enrolled 90 kids/babies aged between 6mths- 6years. Periwinkle Preschool has enrolled 44 kids aged 3yrs to 6yrs. And are both 300 metres from this tower location. Cool Beanz day care has enrolled 75 kids/babies from 6 weeks old to 6 years. And is 350 metres from this site. A total of 199 kids/babies within close proximity to this very ’sensitive site’  proposed 5G upgrade. The tower is currently omitting 1800MHz and proposed 5G upgrade will omit double that to 3500MHz. (https://policies.education.nsw.gov.au/policy-library/policies/mobile-telecommunications-facilities)

Great info for councils and communities. Something to keep a close eye on as Telstra has had previous official warnings for not following correct procedure.

Telstra has been hit with a formal warning by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) for failing to comply with regulations governing the deployment of mobile base stations.

The investigation comes as Telstra ignores growing concerns by Australian residents regarding the technology, while they continue ramping up efforts to capitalise on the next generation rollout.
