New Mobile Phone Tower Proposed For Adamstown

BY IAN CROUCH

Plans have been lodged with Newcastle Council for a new mobile phone tower at Adamstown.

Telstra is seeking permission to build the 28 metre tower on Crown Land off Court Street near the Motorcycle Training Centre.

The telco says the new mobile phone base station would deliver new and improved 4G and 5G coverage to the suburb to meet growing demand from the community, especially for work-from home requirements.

The proposal is out for public comment, with community consultation attracting more than 90 submissions, with residents concerned about safety, visual impacts and property devaluation.
