NBN Co has finally won the fight to erect a wireless tower for their network rollout in the tiny Victorian town of Dereel:

“A National Broadband Network wireless tower has been cleared for construction in Dereel, after the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) quashed residents’ objections.”
“The ruling was handed down on May 17 after a hearing last month and means the area – a notorious mobile phone blackspot – will soon have access to high speed broadband.”
The battle has been raging for a long time, and has even been misrepresented in the local media.
Common sense wins through in the end.
