Well people, There is a Tower located not far from where I live (on the Shore in Torbay) and for AGES I thought that it was owned by Telecom, but It turns out that it might not be.
(The tower is located at 364 Glenvar Rd, Torbay.)
The link below is to some minutes of a North Shore City Council Meeting, where Telecom requested space on the tower.

So today I sent off a letter to the council asking if I could stick a repeater up there to use in the Nzwireless.org community network.

I was told that I should get a reply on monday to say If I can use the tower or not.

But for the moment, here are some pic of the tower and the View....

The Tower.

The View.

(Keep in mind that the repeater is going to be another 15/20m above where these photos were taken from)

So Fingers crossed that NzWireless can use the tower... (For free or a small charge)

Ill keep ya updated as to what happens.

Well, here is the reply from the Council.

Quote:

I have looked into this and the Tower and the land on which it sits is owned by Telecom. They would still have needed a resource consent to place further antennas on the tower, but that would be Council's only involvement with this tower.

So I guess the next step would be to Contact Telecom, and there community support department.
