In the upcoming year, the federal government will install a tower to ensure mobile coverage doesn’t drop out at Wandandian.
The Kangaroo Valley has also been listed in the government’s next round of funding for mobile phone towers.
These towers are two from 22 across the nation, and two more will be installed in Gilmore MP Ann Sudmalis’ electorate – on the road between Batemans Bay and Braidwood at Clyde Mountain, and at East Lynne.
“These four long promised and important towers have been in the making for ages and will service some critical areas,” she said.
“There is no doubt that we need this investment in phone services, we are a tourism mecca, and both our residents and visitors deserve the very best.
“The people of Gilmore said they needed better services, I took that message to Canberra and achieved a good result.”
The investment in communications infrastructure focuses on major regional transport routes, in small communities and in a number of identified priority locations.
