NBN Co, in partnership with the Wallerawang Lidsdale Progress Association, is hosting a series of community events to provide residents with important information about upcoming fibre upgrades, online security, and new technology.
The first event, a Fibre Upgrades and Scams Awareness Presentation, will take place at the Wallerawang Bowling Club on Tuesday, 18 March 2025, at 10:00 am. This session will provide details on the planned NBN fibre upgrades in Wallerawang and Lidsdale, helping residents understand how they can transition to faster and more reliable internet. The presentation will also include a scams awareness segment, offering practical advice on how to protect against online fraud and phishing attempts. Following the session, NBN representatives will be available for one-on-one discussions and service health checks.
On Friday, 21 March 2025, from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm, NBN will host a Virtual Reality Experience at the Wallerawang Indoor Sport & Recreation Centre, located at 77 Barton Avenue. This event will give attendees the chance to try out cutting-edge VR technology and explore new digital experiences. NBN representatives will also be on hand to answer questions about fibre upgrades and discuss how residents can make the most of their internet connections.
For those who may not be able to attend the earlier sessions, an NBN Information Pop-Up Stall will be set up on Main Street near Foodworks on Saturday, 22 March 2025, from 8:00 am to 12:30 pm. Community members can drop by at any time to speak with NBN experts, ask questions, and find out more about their service options.
These events provide a great opportunity for residents and business owners to learn more about the improvements coming to the local NBN network, gain insights into staying safe online, and even experience the possibilities of virtual reality. All sessions are free to attend, and everyone in the community is encouraged to come along.
