Council reject Vodafone phone tower

Launceston City Council has rejected a request for the erection of a Vodafone mobile phone tower. One of the reasons for the rejection was, health concerns. Despite the fact that the tower at it's peak, would only emit a field of electromagnetic energy that was only 0.02% (2/10,000th's) of the recommended level by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency, the Council ignored recommendations from it's own Council Planners, and follow the wishes of local residents that opposed the tower.
