The Communications Infrastructure Policy is a set of guidelines for how the City should decide where to put communication towers and other related equipment on City land.
The purpose of this policy is to:
- Create a framework for decision making on the use of City owned or managed land for the provision of communication infrastructure such as towers and their ancillary facilities;
- Ensure the visual impacts of communication infrastructure are minimised in heritage settings;
- Ensure the long term higher or best use of a site is not compromised by the approval of communications infrastructure facilities;
- Ensure the provision of communication infrastructure across the local government area is recognised as an important component of supporting the health and wellbeing of the community through fair and equitable access to services.
