There is currently a proposal to change the regulations that govern telecommunications infrastructure in NZ including both cable-based and wireless infrastructure.
If the proposed changes to the regulation of wireless infrastructure are not successfully opposed, they would result in the further proliferation of cellular phone infrastructure with potentially more people being impacted in terms of both adverse health effects and also other effects (for example a possible reduction in property values for home owners.)
The proposed changes are strongly opposed by environmental lawyer sue Grey who has made public the reasons that she opposes the proposed “amendments” at this link: https://stopsmartmeters.org.nz/latest-news/read-an-environmental-lawyers-perspective-on-proposed-changes-to-regulation-of-electromagnetic-radiation/
