Calling on all Burke Shire greater region residents to report their telecommunication issues to Telstra urgently.
We are aware multiple stations in the region are still either without or with very limited
access to both mobile and landline access.Telstra has advised it will be dedicating a helicopter to the region to make repairs over the next two weeks, beginning tomorrow, and the technicians need to be advised of all faults in the area.
Further, we have been advised the tower in Burketown is effectively in ‘overdrive’, servicing a greater number of users than it was designed for, due to neighbouring tower outages and increased foot traffic in town during this period of recovery and repair.
Please share all issues with Telstra as soon as possible, and share this news with as many Burke Shire residents as possible.
