Time to drag things up again.
Have had council building compliance officers turn up today, to check out my aerials that I have up on posts/poles and small tower out the back, all within the Building Envelope.
These supporting poles/tower, are all 9m in height or less (tower 7.5m), but add the aerials in to it and they then go right over the 10m height limitations.
We all _know_ that I am right with this, but I'm looking at something I can forward on to the council that says the height is the supporting structure is the height limitation, not that plus the aerial. Does anyone know where I can get the documentation that supports this ?
One of the building compliance guys actually agreed with me on this, but asked me to provide this information to him, so that he can include this. His boss told him that it is the overall height of the support and aerial, so needs some facts to back this up.

The legislation relating to antennas, aerials and towers in Queensland is the Building Act 1975.
Copy here: https://www.legislation.qld.gov.au/legi ... ilda75.pdf
Note that there is no specific mention of antennas etc in the act.
The associated regulations that specifically mention antennas etc is here:

Thanks for the links.
Hard part to determine if a mast and antenna are separate 'devices'... as in the mast is say 9m from the ground to the top, and then the antenna is a different / new 'device', so the antenna could then be another up to 10m tall, with 10m being the limit for self assessable.
Sadly we as amateurs read the pole/mast is what is limited, not the antenna, but people who want to stop us from the hobby add every little thing on to it.
