The following statement can be attributed to Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke:
STARTS
Public Safety Network (PSN)
The PSN is a radio network used by frontline emergency services, government agencies and essential services to communicate via radio handsets and other devices during emergencies such as bushfires and floods.
I am advised new PSN sites are expected to be operational in Narrandera in late 2023 and Coolamon in late 2024. Together, these sites will provide outdoor mobile coverage to Grong Grong.
Mobile Black Spots
I understand the challenges faced by the Grong Grong community when it comes to mobile coverage.
It is fantastic the NSW Liberal and Nationals Government have just announced further investment of $250 million to boost mobile reception in smaller regional communities.
The program will drive better mobile coverage in towns like Grong Grong, with applications for the program open from May.
