Yarraman and Cooyar residents who have access to broadband internet will now be able to communicate directly with Toowoomba Regional Council via a new video conferencing project launched today.<\/p>\n

Toowoomba Mayor Paul Antonio said the project aimed to provide a faster and more convenient communication channel for members of the community to contact and interact with Council.<\/p>\n

“This is a great initiative and will allow the public to directly contact Council officers through a video call and booking facility,” Cr Antonio said.<\/p>\n

“With more and more homes and businesses having access to the National Broadband Network (NBN), and its unprecedented rise in speed and reliability, this is a very exciting time where we can utilise the very latest in modern technology to assist our community.”<\/p>\n

Cr Antonio said the project was funded by the Federal Government’s Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy and was trialled late last year.<\/p>\n

“The service being provided is an online video-call \/ booking system which provides the ability for members of the community to access an online Council calendar, select a desired date and time, and make a reservation for a video-call to be conducted at that time,” he said.<\/p>\n

Cr Antonio said a video-call was the facilitation of a face-to-face interaction over the web where a conversation and the presentation and viewing of documents could occur simultaneously and in real time.<\/p>\n

“There are busy people out there who would prefer to tee up a pre-arranged time with an officer and have a one-on-one conversation, but without the need to leave their home or business,” he said.<\/p>\n

“It will prove especially helpful for rural residents who may not have the capacity to get into Toowoomba to discuss any issues they have.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
