Areas around Blackbutt, Murgon and Nanango are expected to benefit under a new broadband rollout plan to be announced on Monday by NBN Co.

The three towns – which will receive a wireless broadband service – are included in the new plan which covers more than 80 cities, suburbs and towns across Queensland in construction work scheduled up to June 2016.

An NBN Co spokesman said the expansion of the rollout was the first to reflect the company’s new “flexible multi-technology approach” and was an important step towards reaching its goal of eight million National Broadband Network connections by 2020.

“This is exciting news for the suburbs and towns which have been added to our construction schedule as it means work to build the network is expected to be underway by mid-2016,” NBN Co spokesman Ryan Williams said:

“Naturally some people will be disappointed that they are not included in today’s plan but ultimately no one misses out as the NBN will be made available to every Australian family and business by 2020.”
