Black Spot program have been released.<\/p>\n<p>Communications Minister Fiona Nash said the 266 Round 2 base stations across Australia were expected to be completed by October 2018.<\/p>\n<p>However she said the rollout schedules were &#8220;indicative&#8221; and\u00a0could be subject to change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a farmer from central NSW, I understand what it\u2019s like not to have mobile coverage, and to stand on one leg on a gate trying to get it,&#8221; Minister Nash said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Coalition is delivering 765 mobile phone towers to regional Australia, with more to come &#8230; \u00a076 towers will be built in Queensland as part of the Round 2 funding.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The database of reported mobile black spot locations closed for new nominations in January last year.<\/p>\n<p>This information was then\u00a0provided to mobile phone network operators to help them prepare their funding proposals for Round\u00a02.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>External link: <a
