Found basically in the middle of bushland in suburban Brisbane. To get here requires walking through overrun dirt paths that pretty clearly haven't been visited in a long while.

How tall is it? It could be a water sampling station ,I've made similar looking things that sit in the middle of the bush, tapped into the water mains that run underground so they can get water samples for testing, but there usually only waist height.

Not 100% sure I remember correctly, but I think the "BCC" part might be waist height, with the whole thing being taller than me.

It's quite close to a creek, there are a few big manholes around the area clearly above some sort of water, and I think all those padlocks are doing is blocking off access to the hollow inside of the pole, so you could be onto something .

With a small amount of vandalism we could have the answers

I second the vandalism option. I need to know now.

I'm gonna call the number after hours and see if I get a voicemail that is helpful.

Call it in business hours, you won't, your scared

[–] CameronDev@programming.dev 2 points 2 days ago

Of course I'm scared. The BCC conspiracy runs deep.
