Stop the 5G tower installation in our neighborhood
The issue
The proposed installation of a 5G telecommunications facility just 10 meters from our property line is an alarming development for us and our community here in Blackbutt North, Queensland, Australia. As someone directly affected, I am reaching out to bring attention to our concerns not only for the health and safety of my family but also for our entire neighborhood.
There are significant health concerns associated with the placement of 5G towers in close proximity to residential areas. Although scientific consensus on the safety of 5G technology is evolving, lingering uncertainties remain regarding long-term exposure to electromagnetic fields. Such concerns are exacerbated when these towers are installed at such close distances to our homes, like the proposed 80 meters from our residence.
Moreover, our community values its environment, known for its serene landscape and the thriving local flora and fauna. Many fear that the installation of a 5G tower could disrupt our natural habitat, potentially impacting local wildlife adversely.
Another crucial aspect is the potential devaluation of property in the vicinity of the proposed 5G tower. This installation risks degrading the appeal of our neighborhood, making it less attractive to potential property buyers who may be wary of living close to telecommunications infrastructure.
We appreciate the advancements that come with telecommunications technology, yet we strongly believe that these should not come at the cost of our community's well-being. Instead of placing the tower near our homes, we urge our local South Burnett Regional Council to consider alternative locations that would minimize these adverse impacts.
By signing this petition, you are standing with us to demand that our local council take action to stop the installation of the 5G tower in our neighborhood. Together, we can ensure that community interests are prioritized and that we explore safer, more appropriate locations for essential infrastructure. Join us in safeguarding the health, environment, and property value of our beloved South Burnett community. Please sign this petition to make your voice heard.
