(1) No.

(2) As outlined in response to Question No. 1865, NBN Co submits plans to each local council in accordance with its obligations under the Telecommunications Act 1997 for low impact facilities and other applications as required under relevant state or territory planning laws.

(3) The level of detail requested in Question No. 1865 would require a significant diversion of resources to compile. In addition to this, the Tasmanian pre-release sites were designed by Aurora Energy, which was responsible for lodging the appropriate notices and approval applications.
