Petitions

Berwick electorate telecommunications infrastructure

Brad BATTIN (Berwick) presented a petition bearing 134 signatures:

The Petition of residents in Victoria calls on the Legislative Assembly to note that:

Currently in the Minta Estate Berwick and region surrounding and including Halcyon Stockland Berwick there is no reliable phone reception for residents. Residents are unable to get enough phone signal to make basic call functions. The newly developed area does not have sufficient communication infrastructure to support the amount of coverage that is needed. People are concerned they are unable to make basic calls in times of emergency.

The petitioners, therefore, call on the Legislative Assembly to review planning laws to ensure adequate communication infrastructure is installed for residents in new regions and to immediately install reliable communications infrastructure for residents in the Minta Farm and Halcyon Stockland Berwick region.

Ordered that petition be considered tomorrow.
