Fraser Coast, QLD tests public event Wi-Fi as part of its long-term connectivity plan

Fraser Coast, QLD Public Event Wi-FI Connectivity

In Progress

Council officials discussed a full public Wi-Fi network during its 2020-2021 budget deliberations. From 2017 to 2020, the council added local Wi-Fi to parks and event venues as localized tests of resident interest. Recent events like the Maryborough Technology Challenge used portable Wi-Fi to evaluate system performance and range. A one-year pilot of Wi-Fi at four locations starting in March 2021 builds off these efforts.
