Mobile Telecommunications Working Group

Australians expect they will have access to a reliable mobile service much in the same way as they expect they will have access to water and electricity services.

Information for Land Owners

It is understandable that people sometimes have concerns about the rollout of telecommunications infrastructure, and these concerns need to be balanced against the community’s need for modern communications services.

Telecommunications carriers are expected to engage with communities in a meaningful and sensitive way about proposed deployments. The carriers’ powers and immunities framework requires telecommunications carriers to notify landowners and land occupiers if they are planning telecommunications activities on their land.

Every Australian, regardless of where they live or work, deserves access to reliable and modern telecommunications services to actively participate in today’s digital society.

Telecommunications carriers often need to deploy or upgrade telecommunications infrastructure and facilities to meet connectivity demands across the country. As our communities grow and technology evolves, so too does the need to expand networks to ensure continued access to these services.
