Peri-Urban Mobile Program Round 2

Overview

The Peri-Urban Mobile Program (PUMP) Round 2 will provide competitive grant funding of up to $20 million (GST exclusive) to Mobile Network Operators (MNO) and Mobile Network Infrastructure Providers (MNIP) to deliver new or upgraded mobile phone infrastructure to improve mobile phone reception and quality of service for mobile telecommunication users in peri-urban fringe areas of Australia’s major cities. The peri-urban fringe is where the bush meets the edges of the suburbs, creating higher risks for people living and working in those areas. The eligible locations under PUMP Round 2 include: Adelaide, Ballarat, Bendigo, Brisbane, Cairns, Canberra/Queanbeyan, Central Coast, Darwin, Geelong, Gold Coast/Tweed Heads, Hobart, Melbourne, Newcastle, Perth, Sunshine Coast, Sydney, Toowoomba, Townsville and Wollongong.
