Government pours $50 million to improve mobile connectivity in roads Featured
The government will draw $50 million from its "Better Connectivity Plan" into improving coverage on roads and highways, which, it said, will benefit communities and commuters across regional and remote Australia.
The Regional Roads Australia Mobile Program (RRAMP) was announced by communications minister Michelle Rowland yesterday.
In a statement, she said the pilot programs will fund "new infrastructure" or the "expansion of existing infrastructure" on regional highways and major roads and inform development of a scaled-up national program.
The program will prioritise multi-carrier coverage "to improve customer choice and access."
State and territories can contribute through partner funding or in-kind contribution (which include fast-tracking access to Government controlled land or provision of project and contract management services).
Proposals will be due on 23 February, Friday.
“The Regional Roads Australia Mobile Program will help deliver targeted solutions that address unique local challenges, boosting mobile connectivity for communities and commuters alike," said Rowland.
“Successful multicarrier solutions will ensure we leverage existing infrastructure to keep Australians connected – regardless of who their carrier might be," she added.
“I welcome proposals from State and Territory Governments, and look forward to seeing the successful pilot projects roll out across Australia."
According to budget papers in December's Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook, the $50 million will be spent in a span of three years: $10 million in the current financial year and $20 million in 2024-2025 and 2025-2026.
