$48 million mobile coverage boost for regional New South Wales
The Australian Government is investing $48 million to improve mobile coverage in regional New South Wales, enhancing connectivity and supporting local communities. Announced by Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, and Local Government, Catherine King, the funding will extend reliable mobile coverage to key rural and remote areas, benefiting businesses, emergency services, and residents.
This investment is part of the government's ongoing commitment to ensuring better communication infrastructure across the country, particularly in regional and rural areas. The initiative will also improve safety and economic opportunities for local communities, with new mobile towers and coverage upgrades.
This new funding will complement existing programs aimed at reducing the digital divide, enabling more people in regional NSW to stay connected and access essential services.
