Notice of consultation regarding a proposed mobile phone base station

at 49 School Road, Menzies Creek

Our reference: VIC100551 Menzies Creek PUMP

Amplitel (part of the Telstra Group) proposes the installation of a new 35m high monopole located at 49 School Road, Menzies Creek, at the site of the Puffing Billy Railway Museum, for a new mobile telecommunications facility.

The proposal is an outcome of the Federal Government Peri Urban Mobile Program (PUMP). The PUMP program is intended to provide new and improved mobile services in peri-urban areas where there is an identified bushfire risk. With the installation of the proposed tower, network coverage will significantly increase.

CPS Infrastructure and Technology is undertaking community consultation on the proposal prior to any planning application being lodged with Yarra Ranges Council. Please find attached information on the proposal, including proposal plans and an environmental EMEM report.

Any submissions can be made until 5:00pm 16 July 2024 and additional information can be obtained by calling (02) 9300 1700.
