The proposal would build 20 mobile phone base stations in the worst remaining black spots in Indi,
Victoria. The proposal would also increase the $500,000 cap on Australian Government funding for
individual mobile phone towers through the Mobile Black Spot Program (MBSP) to $1 million per
tower.

Funding for the proposal would be drawn from uncommitted funds under the MBSP, as well as be
reported and administered as a separate funding round.

The proposal would be in effect from 1 October 2022.
