The Australian Government is improving mobile phone coverage in regional and remote Australia through the Mobile Black Spot Program.
Limited funding for network improvements or additional mobile base stations may be available to key areas identified.
Greater Shepparton City Council is committed to working with the community to secure the best outcome and will make the application for funding on behalf of the region.
To be successful, we need the community’s input to help identify these "black spot" areas - locations with poor mobile phone reception in Greater Shepparton.
Submissions have now closed.
