Telecommunications Deployment "Telecommunications carriers have powers under Schedule 3 of the Telecommunications Act 1997 to inspect land, install ‘low-impact’ facilities, and to maintain any kind of telecommunications facility. They also have immunity from some state and territory laws when carrying out these activities, such as planning laws. This is called the carriers’ powers and immunities framework.

Low-impact facilities are telecommunications equipment that: are essential to the efficient operation of telecommunications networks have low visual impact, and are unlikely to cause significant community disruption during installation or operation. These laws encourage telecommunications carriers to roll out networks using components that fall within strict type, size, colour and lo...
