RESIDENTS in the south-west have been reminded by Rural Councils Victoria to report on their connectivity issues, with an online survey closing soon.

In June, the State Government announced the survey as part of its $550 million Connecting Victoria program, asking Victorians to identify where mobile and broadband are most needed.

“Communities only have until September 20 to have their say on mobile and broadband problems across the state,” Rural Councils Victoria (RCV) chairwoman and Southern Grampians Shire councillor, Mary-Ann Brown said.
