[AusNOG] Practical definition of "low impact"

If its indoor installation, then its not low-impact facilities (except the antenna on
the roof) - low-impact facilities is all about outdoor things.

If its indoor, MDU basement, risers, etc, then the Comms Alliance document covers
indoor subscriber connections, including powers and immunities...
G571 Building Access Operations and Installation
(http://www.commsalliance.com.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0015/2328/G571_2002.pdf)

There are also a pile of Standards Australia documents regarding standards for
in-building cabling in MDU and industrial buildings, residential buildings etc - these
are what the requirement to "act in accordance with good engineering practice" and
"comply with recognised industry standards" would refer to.

Based on my original post, I'm trying to determine which of the 4 situations is covered by the act as a low-impact facility and which would require an agreement with the building owner.  Clearly option 1 is covered, but that looks like it's about it.  Clarification from anyone who utilises those provisions of the act would be greatly appreciated.

"Parts 1, 5, 6 or item 3 from Part 4" relates to radio kit and termination of fibre (and unrelated stuff like pay phones).   From my interpretation (which clearly is lacking) there's no mention of any other gear that may be required to provision the end customer service.
