Member for Eden-Monaro Peter Hendy said work started this week to connect 236 residents and businesses in Buckajo and the Black Range area.
“The Coalition Government’s efforts to speed up the NBN rollout are paying off for residents and businesses in Black Range and surrounding areas of Bega as work begins to connect hundreds of premises to the National Broadband Network,” Dr Hendy said.
It is expected broadband and phone services will be able to be connected over the National Broadband Network (NBN) within 12 months.
“Labor had six years in office and delivered nothing for Bega,” Dr Hendy said.
“They promised the world to residents in my electorate, but their handling of the NBN was a slow train wreck.
“The rollout is happening faster than ever since the Coalition Government took office and trials have started to test other technologies which will dramatically lower the cost and time it will take to deliver fast broadband to all Australians,” he said.
Detailed maps showing the areas around Black Range and surrounding areas of Bega where construction has begun are available here.
