We the local residents and visitors and supporters of the applicaton of the
Wantabadgery Parish in NSW (part of the constituency of Adrian Picoli)
Would like to draw attention to the fact that there has still been no follow up to their request for some suitable kind of tower or antennae in the village to give us mobile phone coverage and decent internet coverage. They are unable to get mobile phone coverage, and have to rely on satellite coverage for internet, and they only reside 40 klms from Wagga Wagga
This request has been going on for 9 years.
They have multiple problems during the fire season. It is a growing village with attractions like a beach which is popular with visitors, an annual cycle event which draws a very large crowd to the village.

Definitely needs good coverage out here, as when I was staying there with my 84 yr. old friend, was concerned about the isolation, and not being able to contact anyone in an emergency.
I often house sit at wantabadgery and it is not too safe if I fall or get sick when I am there. My mobile phone would always be in my pocket while I am outside. To no avail as they don't have coverage.
How did you resolve the situation at Mangoplah 'cos we seem to be banging heads against a brick wall. I did get a reply from Telstra when I sent letter and info etc to the Chairman, but once it got to area command it seems to be the same old answer - we have no plans for upgrade in your area at present !!!!
Get wqith the times.
All local residence are members of the RFS, due to our isolation we are the first responders to all critical incidences with in this area, without reliable mobile service our effectiveness is greatly hindered. We are located on network roads, access for travellers from central NSW going to the snow fields in winter and tourist activities in summer for country attactions- Dams, bushwalking. We are a destination for travellers with our river front beachs and camping ground areas. We are also under the main flight path from Sydney- Canberra to and from Wagga Wagga. We would be the first responders in a critical incident in an air disaster. As a major farming community any on farm incidents will rely on reliable mobile phone service for assistance.In an emergency time delay in attending critical incidence can mean the difference between a good or bad outcome. This lack of service has been an ongoing problem for many years and needs to be addressed ASAP.

This is simply unacceptable in 2014!
