Funding for wheatbelt mobile coverage
The State Government announced on December 1 it will be investing $20 million over the next two years to improve mobile phone coverage across regional Western Australia.
The wheatbelt will benefit with 12 new mobile phone towers in the locations of Aldersyde, Ardath, Bally Bally, Bullfinch, Bulyee, Coondle, Kondut, Konnongorring, Manmanning, Pantapin, South Yelbini and Wogerlin Hill.
The funding supports the list of 78 sites, released today by the Australian Government, of mobile base stations and small cell satellite installations to be constructed by Telstra and Optus.
The new sites will be delivered under Round 2 of the Commonwealth's Mobile Black Spot Program, supported by the Royalties for Regions program.
