New projects improving digital connectivity in rural Australia
More than 80 rural communities across Australia will soon benefit from better digital connectivity with the Morrison McCormack Government today announcing the successful projects funded under the Regional Connectivity Program (RCP).
The $90 million program is delivering 81 place-based solutions to digital connectivity issues in the regions through a range of mobile and broadband services, including a wireless network for the Gundagai, Cootamundra and Snowy Valleys areas in NSW.
Together with co-contributions from funding recipients, state, territory and local governments, regional businesses and community development organisations, these projects will deliver new investment through improved connectivity totalling more than $180 million.
