Reliable mobile coverage is essential for staying in touch with family and friends, conducting business, accessing services, and having a sense of safety.

That’s why an Albanese Labor Government will invest $750,000 to improve mobile coverage for the Mangrove Mountain community. 

For many residents in Mangrove Mountain area, mobile coverage is either unreliable or unavailable.

The local terrain is challenging, and this additional investment is needed to improve coverage outcomes.

The residents of Killcare and Hardys Bay also continue to suffer with unacceptably poor to non-existent mobile coverage.

If the mobile carriers, who have been working hard to secure approvals for local towers, are unable to deploy at an acceptable site, an Albanese Labor Government is prepared to co-invest to accelerate coverage outcomes for local residents in Killcare and Hardys Bay area through alternative solutions. 

Australians can and should expect to have access to high quality connectivity speeds to keep us connected to each other and to the world.

An Albanese Labor Government is committed to the task of improving and boosting mobile coverage to help build a better future for local communities.

Quotes attributable to Dr Gordon Reid, Labor candidate for Robertson:

“These black spots have really hurt communities and businesses on the Coast. People deserve better. I’ve stood up for the Coast and this outcome is a great result for all those who have been ignore by the current Government.”
