Rural National Broadband Network Coordinators

As part of the Rural and Regional National Broadband Network Initiative announced in the 2009–10 Budget, $5 million was allocated to fund Rural National Broadband Network Coordinators.

The coordinators will encourage local government, community and business use of broadband, taking advantage of the opportunities presented by the $250 million Regional Backbone Blackspots Program, and maximising the social and economic benefits of broadband for these communities.

Coordinators will be assigned to Regional Backbone Blackspots projects. The coordinators will have a sound knowledge of broadband and are expected to establish and foster strong working relationships with local governments, communities and businesses.

Further information will be added to this webpage as it becomes available. If you would like to be notified of updates, please send an email to ruralnbncoordinators@dbcde.gov.au.
