The free WiFi is part of a Pilbara-wide project by the Pilbara Regional Council (PRC) which has made free WiFi ‘hot-spots’ available to both locals and tourists alike.
Shire President Kerry White said it is hoped the free WiFi will encourage visitors to share their photos of key tourism attractions such as Karijini and Millstream-Chichester National Parks to audiences near and far.
“The Council prioritised the two towns closest to these popular tourist attractions to receive free WiFi, which was made possible by efforts of the PRC, the Shire and in the case of Paraburdoo, a grant to the local Men’s Shed from the Pilbara Development Commission (PDC), and Rio Tinto."
