Mobile Black Spot Program: $55 Million in Funding for Regional and Rural Areas

The Federal Government has launched Round 8 of its Mobile Black Spot Program (MBSP), committing $55 million in co-funding to improve mobile coverage in natural disaster-prone regional and rural areas.

This initiative aims to enhance telecommunications infrastructure, ensuring better communication during and after emergencies. Local Councillors and Parliamentarians can suggest potential project locations via the program’s online Project Noticeboard, which is now open. The noticeboard will close three weeks after applications for Round 8 open later this year.
