Mornington Island

Telstra scored a Government grant of $2,661.731 to upgrade the Gunana 4GX tower

The project will upgrade the capacity of the existing Telstra 4GX mobile facility in the Indigenous community of Gununa on Mornington Island. The project will also upgrade the existing fibre network between Mt Isa and Point Parker, and deploy a new mobile site near Century Mine, to provide microwave backhaul capacity to the Mornington Island. The upgrades will support the delivery of government services, as well as health and education resources. Improved connectivity will also support expanded business opportunities in cultural and fishing tourism.
