These guidelines establish the framework for a redeemable grant program to support eligible residents of the Quilpie and Eromanga townships to transition from Council-provided television re‑transmission services to Viewer Access Satellite Television (VAST) or an equivalent satellite-based free‑to‑air television service.
The program is intended to assist residents in preparing for the cessation of Council‑operated television re‑transmission services on the 04th of December 2026, by contributing to the cost of purchasing and installing necessary equipment such as set‑top boxes and satellite dishes.
