Mobile rollout for the valley now reaches Central Macdonald! The program to provide mobile coverage for our valley continues with work now underway to install a Telstra mobile small cell facility in Central Mac. This will enhance the coverage we recently gained with the installations in the village and at Sunnyvale. It will have a broader range than the existing small one for the school. The importance of valley residents and visitors in being able to have mobile coverage is not just a convenience, but has significant benefits in times of emergencies. Indeed, a recent medical emergency in the area was made much easier to deal with effectively by being able to access some signal from the school's small mobile cell. This enabled emergency services to be contacted while people could stay with the person requiring help and also the Careflight medical team to call directly from the scene with the patient back to their base without having to run back to the chopper. The MVA has long been agitating for improved mobile services for our community and we are very grateful for the increased Susan Templeman MPlstra in recent years, and the support of Susan Templeman MP and her office. This mobile rollout is a Federal Government Initiative as part of the BlHawkesbury City Councilovery Program. We also acknowledge Hawkesbury City Council for their continued involvement and support. We will have more of an update on the rest of the program in our last newsletter of the year which will come out after our AGM and will be sent to all members. if you would like more information about this particular installation the Development Application is included here.

ADSL outage update. We have contacted Telstra management about the ongoing issue with some of the ADSL in the valley and this is what they have come back to us with (and we will keep you updated with anything more we hear from Telstra) “Our networks team are aware of a fibre issue that is causing the existing ADSL outage in St Albans, and the relevant teams are currently working to resolve this outage as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, we don't have an ETA at this stage, but we will let you know as soon as we get any further updates on expected restoration timeframes. We appreciate your understanding while we work to restore services.”
