Spencer and Calga were successful in Round 2 of the roll-out of additional mobile telephone towers with Optus as the provider, and for the meantime, Gunderman has had a Telstra sub-base station constructed there.
Unfortunately, Wendoree Park missed out on this Round and have been nominated for Round 3.
Federal Member for Robertson, Ms Lucy Wicks, and her team have arranged for an information seminar for the entire community.
This seminar will be held on Saturday, July 15, at the Spencer Community Hall on Wisemans Ferry Rd.
Representatives from NBN Co., Telstra and Optus will be available to discuss various issues concerning the lack of telecommunications, the possible location, when construction of the mobile towers will take place, limited satellite access, poor internet service and any other concerns that the public living in the Lower Hawkesbury region may have.
Everyone is welcome, not only from Spencer, Gunderman, Wendoree Park, Marlow and Bar Point, but from the surrounding areas such as Calga, Kulnura, Lower Portland, Mangrove Mountain, Mount White, Peats Ridge, Somersby, St. Albans and Wisemans Ferry.
This is an opportunity to talk with both a Federal Member and the telecommunication providers to let them know how important it is for the community to be heard and to explain how imperative it is to have the lack of telecommunications addressed.
