Round 2 of the federal government’s Mobile Black Spots program will deliver new or upgraded coverage to 6500 homes and businesses across 17,500 square kilometres via 266 new or upgraded towers.
This includes 1900km of major transport routes.
The locations for the Program were selected following an appeal to the public to nominate black spots.
These locations were entered into the national map which was provided to mobile network providers to assist them to develop funding applications. These were assessed against the program guidelines by the Department of Communications and the Minister accepted the Department’s recommendations without change.
