Healing resident fears on phone tower health risks
April 10, 2008
TELSTRA'S national electro magnetic energy manager Mike Wood is adamant there is no health risk from mobile phone towers.
Mr Wood was due to attend a public meeting last night to meet Banora Point residents worried about EME radiation health risks from a planned mobile phone tower on a hill above Pioneer Park, Fraser Drive.
Tweed Shire Council requires Telstra to demonstrate community consultation has occurred as part of its approvals process for the tower application.
Telstra argues the new tower will improve mobile phone and internet coverage in Banora Point.

He has pointed out that the NSW government aims to restrict the towers near schools.
