SCOPE OF CHAPTER 7
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS
Terms of Reference
Clauses (j) and (k) of the inquiry's terms of reference relate to the
environmental impact of deregulation:
(j) the extent to which Telstra and telecommunications carriers should
be excluded from State and local government regulations; and
(k) the impact of duplication of infrastructure, and the extent to
which this can be reduced by sharing.
The Bill
These two clauses of the terms of reference are not dealt with in the
Bill and deal essentially with the cabling issues and the appearance
of mobile telephone towers in urban and rural landscapes, community
response to such activities, and the issue of duplication of infrastructure.
