Placement of a new mobile tower in locality of Booubyjan in the western Gympie Regional Council area. Key reasons:

  • Flash flood prone stretch of Burnett Highway with multiple trap points. 
  • Loss of life and serious endangerment of life during ex-tropical Cyclone Seth in January 2022.
  • No Emergency Services Radio coverage in the area.
  • High accident and fatigue zone. 
  • Important industrial highway with significant traffic.
  • Landline coverage not always working. 
  • Farm and rural safety would benefit from mobile coverage in this area.
  • Ongoing, long-term issue, supported by local residents and groups in the Booubyjan area.
