Draft Oberon Digital Plan 2026

At the Ordinary Meeting held on 17 February 2026, Council resolved to place the Draft Oberon Digital Plan 2026 on public exhibition for a period of 28 days.

The Draft Plan has been developed in collaboration with key stakeholders including NBN Co., Telstra and Regional Development Australia - Central West, along with other regional partners. The plan provides a comprehensive review of the current digital connectivity landscape across the Oberon Local Government Area.

The Plan:

• Establishes baseline data on broadband and mobile coverage
• Identifies infrastructure gaps and connectivity challenges
• Highlights digital inclusion issues across the community
• Sets out structures priorities and actions to guide future advocacy and investment

Importantly, the development of a consolidated Digital Plan strengthens Council's ability to advocate for improved broadband and mobile infrastructure, pursue co-investment opportunities and prepare competitive funding and grant applications.

Council is seeking feedback from residents, businesses and community stakeholders to ensure the Plan reflects local priorities and lived experiences prior to its finalisation.

The draft plan will be on exhibition from Wednesday 25 February, to Thursday 26 March. You can view the Draft Strategy in the Documents section of this page, and at Council's Administration Office during business hours.

Submissions can be made below, emailed to council@oberon.nsw.gov.au or sent via post to The General Manager - Oberon Council, PO Box 84, OBERON NSW 2787.

All submissions received during the exhibition period will be formally considered by Council prior to adoption of the plan. Should no submissions be received, the Draft Oberon Digital Plan 2026 will be adopted as presented.

Written submissions must be received by 4.30pm on 26 March 2026
