A new 50-metre cellphone tower is being proposed for Queensville. Freedom Mobile has submitted a site plan application which proposed the construction of a telecommunication tower at 20733 Leslie St., just northeast of Leslie Street and Queensville Sideroad. The telecommunication tower will be a 50-metre white monopole, located approximately 210 metres from the centre line of Leslie Street, behind an existing house and barn. Freedom Mobile changed the original design to the white monopole design.

Freedom Mobile has commenced the public consultation process as required by the Telecommunication Tower Protocol. Each notice of public consultation will be circulated to neighbours within a distance of a 150-metre radius. A notice sign must be erected on each subject property. Necessary approvals must also be obtained from Nav Canada and Transport Canada. Upon completion of this process, the town may issue a municipal concurrence letter as part of any site plan approval which may be granted, after which the applicant may proceed with the construction of the telecommunication tower.

Queensville is on the cusp of welcoming thousands of new residents to the area. The York Durham Sewage System extension has 3,151 units allocated to building in Queensville.
