Yan Yean electorate

Lauren KATHAGE (Yan Yean) (14:49): (1203) My question is for the Minister for Government Services. We are really excited that soon we will have additional reception in Donnybrook thanks to a partnership the government has entered into with Telstra to provide additional services there. Minister, when I shared news with my community that those services will soon be switched on and reception improved in Donnybrook, I was overwhelmed to hear feedback from community members on reception in Mernda, including from Natasha, who contacted me to say:

I work from home, and clients get really angry, as it cuts out or they can’t hear properly.

Minister, I know we have got two more partnerships for towers coming in Mernda, but I ask the minister: when will they be switched on so that people in Mernda have improved phone reception?
