KINGSCLIFF’S mobile connectivity is set for a major upgrade, with new infrastructure targeting reception issues under the Federal Government’s Peri-Urban Mobile Program (PUMP).<\/p>\n
Member for Richmond Justine Elliot announced earlier this month that the Government had awarded funding for new mobile phone infrastructure for the Optus network, targeting longstanding mobile coverage and reception issues in the area.<\/p>\n
“After a decade of inaction by the Liberals and Nationals, the Albanese Labor Government is delivering improvements to telecommunications in regional areas,” Elliot said.<\/p>\n
“This is so important for everyday personal, work and business needs, and especially critical in emergencies. We know how vital communications are from our recent floods and fires.<\/p>\n
“We’re committed to reducing the impact of natural disasters on local communities, and this project is a continuation of that commitment.<\/p>\n
“This includes supporting our emergency services in responding to disasters and keeping families connected with loved ones.<\/p>\n
“Our investment in Kingscliff through this important program will help our community reach its potential while keeping people safe from harm,” she said.<\/p>\n
The upgrades are part of a broader effort to improve telecommunications across regional Australia, ensuring communities like Kingscliff can access reliable mobile and data services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
