The original data source contains all those kinds of things:
http://web.acma.gov.au/pls/radcom/site_proximity.nearby_sites_list?pMODE=DMS&pLAT=-35.13873086&pLONG=149.17643464

It would be nice to see the whole dataset released, especially since
the map viewer on the site isn't compatible with Google Chrome. It
usually costs you $114/year on CDROM so probably not going to happen
too soon.
