LAKE Macquarie City Council on Monday approved a 55-metre tall National Broadband Network tower to be built on private property at Wyee Farms Road, Wyee.

After receiving a staff report recommending approval, councillors voted 10-1 to approve the tower, despite pleas from a Wyee resident to reject the proposal.
