The Hon Mark Coulton MP

Since the dawn of time Australians have battled with the peril of distance. This vast, dry continent, which is among the least densely-populated countries on the planet, has long posed immense challenges when it comes to keeping connected.

The first rural GP-led COVID-19 respiratory clinic in New South Wales officially opened today at Wagga Wagga’s Glenrock Country Practice.

Intermodal hubs and new freight provisioning centres are amongst 16 local project proposals to be further developed with support from the Australian Government’s $44 million Inland Rail Interface Improvement Program. 

The Morrison McCormack Government welcomes new initiatives from NBN Co that will provide more broadband data for Sky Muster satellite customers living in rural and remote Australia.

Investigating the viability of the Lockyer Valley Inland Rail connection is one of four projects selected to be fast tracked as part of the Inland Rail Interface Improvement Program (II Program).

The Inland Rail Moree Office is now open, providing a greater link between the local community and Government leading up to and throughout the construction of the rail track.

Nominations are now open for the 2020 Australian Government National Awards for Local Government, creating fantastic opportunities to celebrate the best of the best.

Thanks, Paul (Bell). I’d like to acknowledge Stirling Hinchliffe that’s here, it’s always good to have a fellow Member of Parliament here. Paul, thank you for your welcome.
