The Broadband Demand Survey, conducted over the last few months will be available shortly from the Community Broadband Broker Web Site:

The Macedon, Mitchell and Murrindindi Shires have partnered with the Central Ranges Local Learning and Employment Network to successfully bid for Commonwealth Funding to support a Community Based Demand Aggregation Broker.

The purpose of demand aggregation is to coordinate demand at a regional level so there is a viable business case for rolling out infrastructure to areas that would not otherwise receive broadband services. Public services such as health, education and local government are recognised as key focus areas for demand aggregation strategies, along with increasing community connectivity.
