Infrastructure

Once again, we would urge reference to telecommunications infrastructure, the local quality of which is often poor in rural areas.

Little thought has been given to developing human capital in the form of life and employment skills, and capacity building in the community. The availability of capable and qualified labour is essential to longer-term economic development and attracting high-value employment. Communities need to be capable of initiating and implementing projects to improve the social infrastructure. Much of the district is poorly served for adult education and facilities like libraries.
