Telstra Mobile Phone tower to be situated within the Morgan Park precinct, located on Old Stanthorpe Road, Warwick. Fibre Optic Cables are already in place, funded by Council, as well as an allocated parcel of land (by Council) to house the future mobile phone tower. Despite Morgan Park being located less than three kilometres from the Warwick CBD, the facility has no mobile service. The site is shovel ready for the establishment of a Telstra Mobile Phone Tower.

Community Location:
Hoyleton
Description of community needs:
Hoyleton is a region of high primary production outputs and a commodity logistics corridor which has little to no mobile phone coverage.
It is also home to the Mid North Primary Response Zone (PRZ) Aerotech base, a vital location for the standby and dispatch of aerial firefighting resources within PRZs, which are defined geographic areas of high bushfire risk where uncontrolled fires may have serious consequences for life, the community, and environmental or commercial assets.
Poor mobile service remains a major barrier for this vital regional emergency response asset.

Description of community needs:
Just off the Balonne Highway there is an old mains road camp site on top of a very high ridge.
This location would give wide coverage. With the approaching bush fire season telecommunications are going to be important.
At the recent Bush Fire meeting a mobile tower was mentioned as being of importance.
There appears to be a number of towers west of Cunnamulla yet there is a large area east of Cunnamulla without coverage.
