A Como resident says he is being required to pay to have a disused Telstra telecommunications box removed from a verge on council-owned land. The resident reports that the box is old and disconnected, and that he does not own the equipment or the land where it sits. According to the accounts, he is told that removal will not be done without his payment, prompting him to question the basis for the charge because he has no ownership or responsibility for the infrastructure. The matter is presented as an issue of responsibility for removal of inactive telecommunications assets located on public verge space. All reports describe the same core dispute: the resident wants the box removed, but is being directed to fund the removal process despite it being situated on council property and involving Telstra equipment rather than anything the resident owns. The articles do not provide details on the amount demanded or the process for requesting removal, but they consistently focus on the resident’s claim that the payment requirement is unreasonable.
