Petition Tag - emr

Optus and Telstra plan to install a high impact, 40 meter, mobile phone base station near the Bundeena Bowlo, Bundeena Maianbar Preschool and the Goanna Patch – and the Sutherland Shire Council has given them the green flag.

The increasing body of knowledge and evidence into the effects of Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) upon animals and humans overwhelmingly shows that our children will be at risk if they spend their days within such close proximity to the proposed location at Bundeena Oval.

There are alternative locations that the telcos could use that will not be harmful to any residents – and will provide better mobile phone coverage in Bundeena, Maianbar, and through the National Park.

Key concerns:

1. Health risks.
2. Communications.
3. Aesthetics.

The proposed tower position is in a community sensitive area - full of children and people most sensitive to the damage EMR causes. Within close proximity to 2 schools, kindergarten, sports fields and courts, senior citizens, playground and skate park.

Health risks:
EMR from Towers is proven to cause cancer, leukemia, DNA damage, sleep disorders, headaches, nervousness or distress, fatigue, concentration difficulties, nausea, memory loss, visual disorders, dizziness, cardiovascular problems, susceptibility to infection, buzzing in the head, vertigo. See notowersnearschools.com

Communications:
* A tower would not be necessary in Warrandyte if Vodafone use the same technology as Telstra.
*There is no proven reason for the tower to be located in Warrandyte.

Aesthetics:
We are in the "green wedge". Beautiful trees and greenery greet you as you enter Warrandyte ... a Tower will be unsightly and the first thing you see as you enter this gorgeous haven.

PLEASE WRITE AN OBJECTION LETTER BY 31.3.10. A sample document is available. Please email:nomobiletowerinwarrandyte@ozemail.com.au for further details.
