Urgent need to act on broadband

Rural Councils Victoria says businesses, families and organisations across rural and regional Victoria could miss out on vital broadband and mobile improvements unless they urgently alert government to problems.

“Communities only have until September 20 to have their say on mobile and broadband problems across the state,” Rural Councils Victoria chair Cr Mary-Ann Brown said.

“It is vital for families, communities, jobs, education and businesses that rural and regional areas get the broadband services they need.”

In June, the Victorian Government announced a survey as part of its $550million Connecting Victoria program, asking Victorians to identify where mobile and broadband are most needed.
