DAWSON DROPPED FROM THE GOVERNMENT’S IMPROVING MOBILE COVERAGE ROUND

Federal Member for Dawson, Andrew Willcox is calling on the Federal Government to further extend the Improving Mobile Coverage Round [IMCR] following Dawson completely missing out.

The IMCR will deliver funding to extend and improve mobile phone coverage and competition in regional and remote Australia, by co-funding new or upgraded telecommunications infrastructure in 54 target locations with up to $40 million available.

Mr Willcox said it is extremely disappointing to see the Government has completely forgotten about Dawson in its announcement. 54 locations across Australia have received a funding allocation, and Dawson has been completely left out
