 Telstra mobile tower stalled as TIO looms: ZDNet Australia: News: Communications
Telstra's plan to build a mobile phone tower on a Leichhardt shopping centre is facing further delays as its dispute with the local community appears set to drag on.
Telstra was due to begin construction of the towers in June but it was blocked when the owners of the shopping complex upon which the six antenna were to be built, the Medich Property Group, withdrew their permission to use the site in solidarity with local resident protest groups.
Telstra's plan to build the tower landed it in hot water with local residents concerned about possible health impacts associated with radio emissions from the equipment's antennas.

With membership to the ‘World Federation of Great Towers’ bestowed upon it in 1989, this Canberra landmark finally got the recognition it truly deserves.
Irrespective of the slightly spurious title, the views from atop the tower, 195 metres above the summit of Black Mountain overlooking the city and surrounding districts is outstanding.
The tower does have a small telecommunications museum, but the majority of visitors are happy to soak up the 360° vistas from the two viewing platforms or better still, the revolving restaurant.

Their concerns are no different from those of residents of other places when Telstra decides to build a tower in their region or neighbourhood, but the residents of Attwood have been dealt an additional blow in this process because they have not been properly consulted about the proposal.
I am certain that the battle against the proposed mobile tower will make their community stronger, as it has led to the very first discussions concerning the creation of an Attwood residents' association, which, in all communities, is a very worthy initiative.
Telstra and Hume City Council should take some time to talk to residents to address their concerns and, by all means, allay their fears about the effects of this project on their community.
