Centroc has audited the broadband needs for this region and has responded to all calls from both the State and Federal Government regarding the regional position on telephony. Centroc seeks to ensure that landline, mobile and data services are constantly improving and to ensure that the region is internationally competitive. The Centroc "On Top" document regarding broadband needs will be presented to the Federal Government soon, along with the results of the recent Telecommunications Survey. Digital Television will be raised as an issue, as well as support for the recent changes made by the Federal Government to the regulatory framework bringing about functional separation of Telstra. Centroc’s position on broadband is that: a. any upgrades be affordable and will scale into the future with the growth of broadband needs b. there be wholesale access to infrastructure c. there be price parity d. there be no overbuild e. the regulatory environment be amended to enable the above f. that the Centroc region be considered early in the roll out as it is broadband ready and is an area of need It should be noted that the policy of Centroc to date fits well with the new direction taken by the Federal Government. Centroc seeks support from the State and Federal Governments to take advantage of significant work undertaken in the region in auditing its broadband needs and capability and prioritise Central NSW for the National Broadband Network roll out. Centroc seeks to ensure that landline, mobile and data services are constantly improving and to assure that the region is internationally competitive.

Did you know that atmospheric CO2 was 364 parts per million (ppm) during the Earth Summit in June 1992? In the past decade, atmospheric CO2 has been rising about 1.9 ppm per year. This is the fastest rate since scientists started using high-precision instruments to take CO2 measurements directly from the Earth's atmosphere.
