NT Govt scraps satellite dish location

Posted August 29, 2008 20:33:00

The Northern Territory Government has scrapped its plan to build a satellite dish on the grounds of the Northern Territory Open Education Centre.

Chief Minister Paul Henderson says he has been inundated with complaints from teachers at the centre and Rapid Creek residents about the proposal.

The satellite dish is part of a communication upgrade for remote schools and distance education students.

The Government is unsure where it will now put the dish.
