The Federal Government has announced that a further 11 councils are now eligible to apply for funding under the Australian Government’s Digital Local Government Program, aimed at assisting local governments make the most of the rollout of the National Broadband Network.

 

The program makes up to $375,000 available to assist the rollout of NBN enabled programs, including council services, to homes and businesses.

 

“The eleven eligible councils are located right around Australia – from Mandurah in Western Australia to Aspley in Queensland and Bellerive in Tasmania. I encourage all of them to take up the opportunity to use the NBN to improve delivery of essential council services to their communities,” Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Stephen Conroy said.
