Telstra have proposed a site for a 30m monopole and shelters at 10a Corrie Parade, Corlette, NSW 2315

- The local Community have grave fears concerning their children's and their own safety from this proposed phone tower.  It is too close to residents and a more suitable location should be considered.

- This site is in a residential area with the closest residents being 54 meters from the proposed tower.

- 200 homes would be within 100 meters of the tower which emits EMR radiation 24 hours a day.

- The Leukaemia Foundation state to minimise exposure to EMR by "avoiding spending any time near mobile phone base towers".

- The tower would be an eyesore on foreshore of this popular tourist area, it is on a ridgeline 300 meters away from Salamander Bay Beach and is inconsistent with the objective of protecting views from the foreshore.

- The proposed site is within bushfire prone land.

- The tower would be on a habitat linking corridor and beside preferred habitat of local Koalas which are vulnerable and threatened. 

- The proposed site is against our local council policies - the Port Stephens LEP and the guidelines for the development of telecommunication structures.
