Have Your Say on Disaster-Resilient Communications in Peri-urban Communities

The $20 million Peri-Urban Mobile Program Round 2 (PUMP) targets longstanding mobile coverage and connectivity issues for impacted peri-urban communities by co-investing with mobile network operators on local projects.

Peri-urban fringes – where the bush meets the edges of the suburbs – create significant challenges for communications infrastructure and natural disaster risks for those living and working in those communities.

 Local communities, councils and telcos are encouraged to have their say on new guidelines to improve mobile coverage on the urban fringes of communities across Australia.
