PORT Fairy will soon have better 4G and new 5G coverage with Telstra planning upgrades to its mobile base station, but the works will require a series of temporary outages or reduction in mobile coverage.

From Wednesday, August 21 at 7:30am to Friday, August 23 at 6pm there will be no Telstra mobile coverage from the site at the Hamilton-Port Fairy Rd site two kilometres west of town during daylight hours as the new equipment installation begins.
