Telecommunications: Have A Say – southburnett.com.au
April 23, 2024
Communities across Australia have been invited to have input into the latest Regional Telecommunications Review.
The review, by an independent committee, occurs every three years and examines existing and future telecommunication needs.
The committee – consisting of Alannah MacTiernan, Ian Kelly, Fiona Nash, Dr Jessa Rogers and Kristy Sparrow – will present its findings to the Federal Government by December 31.
Residents, businesses and community organisations can make a submission.
“Access to telecommunications services is critical for regional residents and businesses across so many aspects of everyday life – and we want to understand the lived experience of these services so that future policy actions are well-targeted and backed up by evidence,” committee chair Ms MacTiernan said.
“With technology changing rapidly we also want your ideas about how things can be improved and what would make the most difference for you and your community.
“We really encourage Australians in the bush to have their say via a submission or completing the survey in coming months, while we continue our face-to-face consultations across the country.
