One of the great things about this program is that, while we talk about the numbers and the great investment, this is improving and changing the lives of people out on the ground in our communities at places like Mount Chalmers in Queensland, where the Livingstone Shire Council has made a contribution to a base station to bring mobile coverage to 114 farming, grazing and residential properties—when completed the base station will also provide coverage to the 1,344 vehicles that move through the area on a daily basis—and at places like Clarke Creek in Queensland between Rockhampton and Gladstone, where the installation of the mobile tower has been a game changer for the local Clarke Creek school. They will now get 4GX mobile broadband service under the program. I have to commend my colleague Michelle Landry, the member for Capricornia, for her tireless work in ensuring that this was delivered.
