Funding has been announced for new mobile phone towers to be located at Yaapeet, Laharum, and Wartook.

The new mobile phone towers will be delivered under round two of the Federal Government's mobile blackspot program.

This round of the program will fund 266 towers across the country.

Member for Lowan Emma Kealy MP congratulates local community efforts which have secured this funding.

"I am proud that after extensive lobbying and by our rural communities working closely with Government at local, State and Federal levels, that the Wartook Valley, Laharum and Yaapeet will receive improved mobile telecommunication services," Ms Kealy said.

"For the Laharum and Wartook Ranges, improved mobile phone service will support increased tourism, the large investment made towards the Grampians Peaks Trail and warnings during bush fire events.

"I congratulate the Horsham Rural City Council, the Hindmarsh Shire Council, Federal Member for Mallee Mr Andrew Broad and the wider community who have all worked together to see this great result.

"This outcome is an excellent example of our rural communities providing strong support in partnership with local agencies to make a positive difference to our local area," she said.
