But opponents of the monopole tower said there were still mistakes in the second application lodged with Moorabool Council.

As reported by the Weekly, Yendon residents Kay and David Paton said a lack of consultation by the company responsible for the national broadband network had led to errors and contradictions in its application.

Mrs Paton said NBN Co had wrongly stated that only one property was in close proximity to the proposed tower at 200 metres away, when in fact there was a property within 150metres and more than 10 homes within 600 metres.

She said the second application, in a photo-montage of the proposed site, had again placed the tower in the wrong location.

Other maps and figures used as supporting documentation had "been lifted from Google maps and have no real relevance".

Six objections were lodged against the Yendon tower. A proposed tower in Gordon received four complaints, but none was raised about a tower in Lal Lal.

Objectors expressed concern about risks associated with radiation levels.

The Patons argued the Yendon tower would be a "visual monstrosity", destroying the country vistas they had moved to the area to enjoy.

They said residents were not adequately consulted. The council called for additional consultation by the company, which extended the area for notification letters, erected extra signs at the tower's location and took out newspaper advertising.

But Mrs Paton said it wasn't enough.

"They stuck an A4-size sign on the wire fence, but it blew off within days," she said.

"There will be many more of these towers, some say every five kilometres, so the problem will be everywhere."

NBN Co has ramped up its information efforts over the past week, with a 23-tonne mobile interactive demonstration centre visiting Bacchus Marsh on Friday ahead of a consultation session on Saturday.

But mayor Pat Griffin said the roadshow should instead have targeted towns like Yendon and Gordon.

He said the council would take all of the objectors' concerns into account when reviewing the application.

An NBN spokeswoman said extra planning in Yendon had been undertaken which identified a more appropriate location for the tower, and representatives would soon visit Yendon residents to discuss their concerns.

She said if the council rejected the application the only alternative for high-speed broadband in the town would be via satellite.
